history

knowledge which details with the past events; narration; a story; an account of existing things.

This is the definition of the word history from Webster’s Expanded Dictionary, 1991. Today the

word history often has a certain haze around it. It is often one of the most disputed things in the

world today. One would think by looking at the definition, “An account of facts,” that this

would be some simple idea to follow. After all, there is no computing, numbers, dissecting, or

anything else like one would expect to find in math and science. Instead, it is even more

challenging because there is often times when history is disputed due to the fact that there are

several different “eye-witness” accounts that greatly differ from each other for the same events.

To show this, and try to give a better understanding of the word history, the following materials

will be used: the essay entitled “Indians” by Jane Tompkins, and the documentary, Mr. Death-

The Rise and Fall of Fred Leuchter, Jr. directed by Errol Morris.

Tompkins essay deals with her research of the Indian life. She bases her

research on authors who have written books with
