This report, 5 pages in length and in MLA format, examines the problems faced by the historian--in this case, Patricia Nelson Limerick--in attempting to construct an accurate portrayal of an event. The vehicle for describing these problems--capturing the event in context; not allowing details to overwhelm the story structure; not allowing the structure to dictate the elucidation of components; and providing sufficient dimension that the human participants do not devolve into stick figures--is the Modoc war, 1872-1873, and its aftermath. The report touches on Limerick’s perspective of the responsibilities of the historian, as well as the difficulties inherent in telling a story that is at the same time comprehensive and comprehensible. | more info
