Nicely written Ken. Here's a couple of other journal articles on
Gould's Belt that may be of interest to you.
Grenier, I.A. Sep. 2004. The Gould Belt, star formation, and the local
instellar medium. arXiv preprint.

Perrot, C.A. & Grenier, I. 2003. 3D dynamical evolution of the
interstellar gas in the Gould Belt. 2003A&A...404..519P

Gould was a pretty fascinating but somewhat tragic character. Carter,
in his recent book _Latitude: How American Astronomers Solved the
Mystery of of Variation_ did a great in depth chapter on Gould.
