So far this semester, we've read two different scholars writing about the native peoples of North America. What similarities or differences did you notice between the Richter reading (Facing East from Indian Country) and the Calloway reading ("New Worlds for All")?

Primary Sources
We looked at three different primary sources in class today, and I'd like you to consider the following three questions in your comments.
This post will be available for comments until Thursday, February 18.
How was examining the primary sources similar to or different from reading the textbook?
What did you learn from the primary sources that you did not learn from the textbook?
Why is it important for scholars to use different kinds of sources in their analysis?

Welcome, Spring 2016!
Greetings!
This is the course blog for History 151, section 014. We'll meet officially on Monday, February 1, 8:10 AM, but feel free to review the course policies and assignments as well as the schedule of readings (links in right sidebar) to familiarize yourself with the expectations for the course.
We'll use Eric Foner's Give Me Liberty! Volume 1 Fourth Seagull Edition, by Eric Foner. ISBN 978-0-393-92030-7 as our main textbook. The book is available in new and used copies from Shakespeare and Company, located at 939 Lexington Avenue. You may purchase alternative versions of the book (ebooks are permitted, older editions are also acceptable) from a different seller. Please make sure to have your book in time to complete the first reading assignment (due Thursday, February 4). If you purchase an alternate edition, make sure that your reading corresponds with the assignment since the page numbers don't always match. Readings are based on the 4th Seagull edition pages.
I look forward to meeting you in class!
