Struck a Lead: An Historical Tale of the Upper Lead Region

About the Book

History texts study and interpret the past as it may be understood from written documents. The period before written records is called prehistory. Historians use a narrative to examine and analyse past events, and attempt to objectively determine the patterns of cause and effect. Historical studies are not an end in themselves, but also a way of providing perspective on events taking place in the present.

Also in this Book

History derives from Greek historia, meaning "inquiry, knowledge acquired by investigation". It is the study of the past as described in written documents, with events occurring before written records being considered prehistory. World history is generally considered a teaching topic rather than a research topic. There are many history text books of varying quality, with some addressing the teaching of history or historiography, the process of undertaking research in history.

And in this Book

Art history focuses on aesthetic works created during past eras, and is often presented as a chronology of the masterpieces that were created by each civilization. It is the narrative of high culture that is represented at one end by the Wonders of the World. However, at the other end, folk arts and crafts can also be integrated into art history. When art history addresses low culture, it examines visual culture or material culture, or contributes to fields relating to art history, such as anthropology or archaeology, where art objects may be referred to as archeological artifacts.
