history
who stated that, “It should be clear with just amoment’s thought that the past (all of those thoughts and events that actually
happened) is lost forever”
Garton Ash
who stated that, “History is not „what happened in the
past‟; rather, it is the act of selecting, analyzing, and writing about the past.”
James Davidson and Mark Lytle
an act of creation, or more accurately, an act of recreation in which the mind of the historian is the catalyst. Any piece of history
that we read or hear ought to be treated as an individual creation
writing history
many times removed from the events under
investigation.
Historian
cannot study the past directly, but must
rely on surviving records
Historian
who states this, “Only a part of what was observed in the past was remembered by
those who observed it; only a part of what was remembered was
recorded; only a part of what was recorded has survived; only a part of
what has survived has come to the historians‟ attention; only a part of
what has come to their attention is credible; only a part of what is credible
has been grasped; and only a part of what has been grasped can be
expounded or narrated by the historian… . Before the past is set forth by
the historian, it is likely to have gone through eight separate steps at each
of which some of it has been lost; and there is no guarantee that what
remains is the most important, the largest, the most valuable, the most
representative, or the most enduring part. In other words the “object” that
the historian studies is not only incomplete, it is markedly variable as
records are lost or recovered
“
Louis Gottschalk
can never get or present the full truth about a
given past
Historian
who stated that, “even the best history is not much better than a mist through which we see shapes dimly
moving.”
