Comparing history to detective work
My professor said that doing history is comparable to the work of a crime detective (i.e.,Inspector Columbo) but the professor didn't explain how...do you understand what he's driving at?
We have also been asked to list kinds of evidence historians use in finding out the "truth" about history...if you could help me answer this I would be grateful. (Our professor is very vague). Thank you.
