Pitfalls and Potential Solutions to Your Primary Source Problems: Acknowledgments and About the Author

Acknowledgment

So many people have encouraged and helped me on the journey of including historical sources in my classroom. Danny Otero, Janet Barnett, Ken Monks, and Dominic Klyve, are just a few of the many that should be thanked. I also appreciate the countless^[25] students that gave feedback, along with the anonymous referees and editors that have improved everything I've written, certainly including this paper. I hope I can pass forward some of their kindness and expertise.
