Imagine that you are writing a paper on the sinking of the USS Maine. Which resource would be the most helpful?

A historian who has researched the sinking can provide relevant evidence and explain the event using historical context. A movie or sensational headline may prioritize entertainment or attention, while the sailor’s letter was written before the ship arrived in Cuba and may not describe the sinking. The most helpful resource is the book written by a historian who studied the event.
