add to cart   close window

The article reports that Michael Bellesiles, the historian accused of research falsification in his book "Arming America," a study of gun culture, has announced that he was resigning from Emory University on October 25, 2002. His resignation came after Emory released the report of a three-person external board that had been asked to review some of the charges leveled against Bellesiles over the past two years by a number of critics. His book, which won the prestigious Bancroft Prize awarded by Columbia University to top works in history and was widely acclaimed when it came out, argues that the country's gun culture was created in the Civil War era and that in eighteenth-century America, guns were much less significant.
