Introduction to the Study of History by Charles Victor Langlois (with C.

Students will find concrete history analysis techniques and historical methodology; casual readers will gain a deeper appreciation for how historical truth is built.
Langlois s lucid principles on source criticism, the distinction between primary and secondary evidence, and the limits of conjecture laid the foundation for modern history research introduction and remain essential history academic resource material.
