History Hunting
a guide for fellow adventurers
by James W. Cortada
James Cortada recounts his adventures over the past 50 years in this compelling blend of memoir and practical introduction to historical research. Each chapter opens with research stories retold with wit and warmth, then moves into "how-to" mode to describe the historian's craft. The book offers guidance to aspiring historians at every stage and in every walk of life, from advice on tackling and organizing projects to recommendations for finding and using resources of all kinds, whether at the local historical society or in the vast reaches of the World Wide Web. It is both a "good read" and a primer on the best practices for researchers, packed with useful bibliographies, vetted websites, and intriguing previews of the future of historical research. - Publisher.
