Hm! It would be interesting to read an account of the War of the Ring through someone else's eyes. Maybe Legolas or Gimli. Evolution is a funny old thing, and perhaps there were several accounts, and the one by Bilbo/Frodo (hereafter referred to as Bildo) was the only one to have survived. But of course that's blurring the line between fantasy and reality a little too much. The wording in The Silmarillion seems very different to LOTR. I personally wouldn't like LOTR as much if it was written in the high-toned way elven way that The Silarillion is. Who is said to have written Quenta Silmarillion, etc. by the way? Rúmil? Eriol?
