neat. Of course many FREEPERS would have a problem with the first 15% of their course grade.

I hope this prof has tenure. Otherwise he could be on the way out for exposing lib fraud.

This is just great....he is made the example of HOW NOT TO GET CAUGHT WRITING LIBERAL CRAP!!

I'm now reading "Undaunted Courage" by Stephen Ambrose. Good book, but it contains a plaudit from Bellisiles. Made me wonder whether to continue reading. I hope Ambrose disassociates from Bellisiles in future printings.

1) A 3-5 page book review of Michael Bellesiles, Arming America: The Origins of a National Gun Culture. Worth 15% of the final grade.

· This review should be written without investigating any other reviews of Bellesiles’ work.

Imagine a sincere liberal skull-full-of-mush following this instruction, going ga-ga over Bellesiles' con, and writing a pean of praise for it!

And then . . .

Hold up a second...

...exactly where is it mentioned that this is an example of what *not* to do as a historian?

(Do not use Warshauer’s, “Shooting from the Hip.”)
