Very interesting. Where did all that information come from. Are there Bible verses about all that or is it from historical writings?
Historical writings. The apostles lived for some time after Christ ascended and the church was growing, and it was united under their leadership, so people knew who they were and where they went and what they did, etc. These things were talked about and eventually it got written down.
My 75 year old dad has been writing his life story the last few years, telling stories from back when he was a teenager and in elementary school even. The level of detail that he remembers is amazing! He was there, it was important to him, he knew and loved the people he's writing about. It's like that, I guess.

This is a book in which the stories of the lives of the apostles, post-ascension, have been collected. It's a pretty neat read, seeing which direction around the globe the Holy Spirit led them.
