History 101: Assessment of Primary Sources Who wrote it? Why did they write it? What was the intended audience? Oh, and don't forget the unwitting testimony . . . . what are they telling us they didn't realise they were telling us? And from there we start to tell our version of History. Folk songs and stories are just another Primary Source; some more useful than others. If you want 'truth', you'll need Philosophy 101 . . . . . shit, that's Indiana Jones! Harry
