NOTE #1: Our textbook is a compilation of selections from the Bedford/St. Martin's History and Culture Series and contains both primary and secondary sources. Therefore, proper citation is very complicated. I will allow the following when you cite work from the textbook: (The West and the World, page number). To cite the Sale article, simply use (Sale).

NOTE #2: Points will be deducted for sloppy writing or incorrect format. (See Discussion Assignment format under Content in Pilot.) Please review your paper carefully for writing errors: poor sentence.
