RE: Primary source versus recycled information
It really depends on what the author is trying to do. If he/she presents the work as "new" or a challenge to previously held thought then it must be mainly primary material. However, if it is just a synthesis (like BATTLE CRY OF FREEDOM) which is presented as such, the most relevant secondary material along with published primary material would suffice.
Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg
