Annotated Bibliography by Kylie Patterson

Bancroft, Hubert H. The Great Republic of Master Historians. The Financial Panic of 1837. Web. 1900. Aside from Mr. Bancrofts comments, this source is primary. It focuses on the specific details of The Panic of 1837. It adds to my general knowledge of The Panic of 1837. This source was edited by Hubert H. Bancroft, but written by a group of people who lived during the time f The Panic of 1837. Since Mr. Bancroft is a famous American Historian, and the rest of the article is a primary source, I find this source trustable and see no reason to distort. Egnal, Marc. "The beards were right: Parties in the north, 1840-1860." Civil War History. 01 Mar. 2001: 30. eLibrary. Web. 29 Apr. 2012. This article is secondary, having no primary qualities, but it does have a great basic understanding of the economic crisis. It allows the reader to synthesize about how the economic crisis started. It will allow me to incorporate the start of the panic. Marc Egnal wrote this article. There probably is no reason for distortion, because it is on a database. There is a much larger selection of facts. Being on a database, the source is trustworthy, and I see no problem with any part of this resource or any other on the database. Glover, Daniel, K.. "BANKING ON THE MARGINS." National Journal. 02 Apr. 2005: 980. eLibrary. Web. 24 Apr. 2012. Daniel K. Glovers article is secondary because it is a set of facts that were put together from probable other sources. It is a fantastic yet somehow still basic summary of The Panic of 1837. It is easily understandable and gives a good idea of what my other resources should look like or include. Daniel K. Glover wrote this article. There probably is no reason for distortion, because it is on a database. Mostly facts, but maybe the facts were collected in order to make the story seem slightly different. This is exactly the same sort of facts I have seen before in my previous research sessions. It has the same dates and other facts. Being on a database, the source is trustworthy, and I see no problem with any part of this resource or any other on the database. McGrane, Reginald Charles. The Panic of 1837: Some Financial Problems of the Jacksonian Era. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1965. This article is secondary because it is a book that basically adds insight to The Panic of 1837. It is a good source because the author, Reginald Charles McGrane, does write

the book with a great economical insight. If there is reason for distortion, which I highly doubt, it seems minimal. There is consistency in information, and a few new facts. I think this book is trustworthy because everything seems to be consistent and chronological in terms of history. Therefore, I find this book useful in my research. Milkis, M, Sidney.. "Presidents and the People: The Partisan Story of Going Public." Presidential Studies Quarterly 2(2003):445. eLibrary. Web. 24 Apr. 2012. This article is secondary because it is not a primary source, but it does present facts that were primary. It is a viewpoint that allows a different perspective of The Panic of 1837. It is a good argument. Sidney M. Milkis wrote this article. There probably is no reason for distortion, because it is on a database. Mostly arguments, but there are still key facts. These are exactly the same sort of facts I have seen before in my previous research sessions. It has the same dates and other facts. Being on a database, the source is trustworthy, and I see no problem with any part of this resource or any other on the database. Nelson, Scott. 1837: Americas Mortgage and Banking Meltdown. The Motley Fool. Web. 20 October. 2008. This article is secondary, but the main part I will be using, a quote, is primary. There is an anonymous quote inserted in the article, one I find particularly helpful because it shows what exactly people thought of their economic situation. The article is written by Scott Nelson. It was published on The Motley Fool, a scholarly journal, so I find that this source has too much of a reputation to distort. Schmidt, Carolyn and Robert. Impact of the Canal Era on Indiana Geography. Canal Society of Indiana. Web. 23 August. 2006. This source is primary because it has an important quote I will most likely use as reference as to how people viewed the economic position of Indiana. This article was written by Robert Schmidt and Carolyn Schmidt. It was published on the website of the Canal Society of Indiana. Being a society dedicated to a topic involving The Panic of 1837, I dont see much reason to distort. I trust this source because I researched this particular society and found it quite reputable. Shonkwiler, Alison. "TOWARDS A LATE VIEW OF CAPITALISM: DEHISTORICIZED FINANCE IN THE FINANCIER." Studies in the Novel 1(2009):42. eLibrary. Web. 06 May. 2012. While I chose to only use part of this source for reference, the source itself is secondary. This is because, while it isnt primary, it does have a certain layout that generalizes economic crises as a whole, which will be important in synthesizing why the economy made this particular crisis different from the others that occurred during that

time period. This article is written by Alison Shonkwiler. This article has minimal to no reason for distortion, being on a database. I find this source trustworthy. "U.S. Hard Times TOKENS." Antiques & Collecting Magazine. 01 Nov. 2007: 30. eLibrary. Web. 24 Apr. 2012. This article is secondary, but does include a good variety of primary sources in it, though the article itself is still secondary. It is a viewpoint that allows a different perspective of The Panic of 1837. It has a great amount of facts that I will be able to use. Antiques & Collecting Magazine wrote this article. There probably is no reason for distortion, because it is on a database. All facts are consistent with previous facts. Being on a database, the source is trustworthy, and I see no problem with any part of this resource or any other on the database.
