Some of this "folklore" has been researched and written down:

@incollection{bushnell89,
	author="David S. Bushnell and Victoria B. Elder",
	title="Computers in the Public Interest: The Promise and Reality
		of ARPANET",
	booktitle="Directions and Implications of Advanced Computing, Vol. 1",
	editor="Jonathan P. Jacky and Douglas Schuler",
	publisher="Ablex Publishing Corp.",
	year="1989",
	pages="33--50"}

This paper tells the early history of the Arpanet, as well as other early 
experiments in wide-area networks.  It is partly based on interviews with
some of the people involved.  It also has a good list of references to 
the contemporary papers and to the other histories that have been written.
