You may use any newspaper from the relevant time period. The newspapers are available in microfilm and microform in the basement of the Wilson library. You should also look at what sorts of evidence the author uses and how he uses his evidence. The point of the papers is to encourage you to look at the ways in which a book is put together. The precise questions will be handed out in class on May 28.
Papers are due at class time of the due date.
Late papers will be penalized, as will spelling and other mechanical errors in the papers. You are responsible for knowing and adhering to CLA policies on plagiarism. There is a mandatory extra discussion section for graduate students taking the course at the 5xxx level, with extra reading. See me after class, and get the additional handout. We need to pick a time to meet.
