Brundage Chapter 2

In chapter 2, Brundage goes over the different types of sources. First there are primary sources. Primary sources can be broken up into two categories:manuscript and publish sources. Manuscript are anything written or typed that has not been replicated and can include manuscripts of meetings between world leaders. Publish sources are books, diaries, and letters. Brundage also goes over secondary works, such as books on  regions or countries. As historians, which sources do we used primary and which ones should we avoid? Also do we consider popular books on history in the same light as those of scholarly works?
