By "science has confirmed accounts", do you mean anything more than "has confirmed that some historical locations used for these stories actually existed"?

If so, can you give some examples?

(by way of illustration: most of Robert Parker's Spencer novels are set in Boston. You could prove via archeological evidence that the buildings and streets mentioned in these stories exist - they weren't invented out of whole cloth - but this wouldn't prove Spencer himself ever existed much less did any of the things claimed about him in the stories.)
