True History of the Kelly Gang

What is history? How do we know if a media form is accurately communicating historical truth?
The title of Carey's book True History of the Kelly Gang, clearly claims historical veracity (truth). It is, however, an artificial construction.  A study of this work should focus on how this artificial history is constructed to seem real or 'true'. In turn, this idea suggests that all history then is in fact artificial and therefore subjective.
