After The Fact by James West Davidson
The Art of Historical Detection
A practical guide to historical investigation that treats the past as a series of puzzles to be solved by careful reading and weighing of primary sources; through case studies and historiographical debates it teaches students how to evaluate evidence, identify bias, place documents in context, corroborate accounts, and construct persuasive interpretations, emphasizing the skills of sourcing, causation, continuity and change, and the contested nature of historical knowledge.
