- Synopsis
- Historians know that often primary source evidence is neither neat nor complete. This unit introduces you to a range of primary sources centered on the life of a nineteenth-century prostitute in the American West. Like a historian, you will use these limited sources to create a plausible account of Louisa Cousselle’s life — and, by extension, the lives of other western prostitutes. You will learn to identify evidentiary gaps and employ strategies (verification, inference, reasonable speculation) for dealing with the missing pieces.
