Is</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Greetings:<BR><BR>Below you will find a letter that I have sent
to local editors. I will be responding to Wilson's response on this
Blogg later this morning.<BR><BR>To the Editor:<BR><BR>Bill Warren should not
make judgments about books he has not read. In his Daily News column (July
24-25), he states that Doug Wilson was not “wrong in his interpretation of the
empirical social conditions that existed” in Southern Slavery.<BR><BR>In their
booklet “Southern Slavery As It Was,” Wilson and his co-author Steve Wilkins
relied primarily on one source: R. W. Fogel’s and S. L. Engerman’s book “Time
on the Cross: The Economics of American Negro Slavery,” which has been widely
criticized by historians of the South. Some assign it to their classes as an
exercise in how not to do history.<BR><BR>We now know that Wilson and Wilkins
not only relied heavily on this inaccurate book, but they also copied long
passages from it. These passages are highlighted on facing pages and can be
viewed at <A href="http://www.tomandrodna.com/notonthepalouse/Plagiarism.htm"
eudora="autourl"><FONT
color=#0000ff><U>www.tomandrodna.com/notonthepalouse/Plagiarism.htm</A></FONT>.
</U>Plagiarism is theft of intellectual property and is the academic
equivalent of violating the 8<FONT size=1><SUP>th</SUP></FONT>
Commandment.<BR><BR>Wilson’s plagiarism is worse than the student incidences
that I have experienced, because Wilson has made a profit on each copy of
“Slavery As It Was” that he has sold from his own Canon Press. That means that
Little & Brown, Fogel and Engerman’s publishers, could file charges
against him.<BR><BR>There will be a full page ad in this newspaper with a
selection of the plagiarized passages. I am collecting signatures of academics
on the Palouse who are willing to condemn this worst of all intellectual
crimes. The texts and the petition will be available at BookPeople in Moscow
at a display entitled “Plagiarism As It Is.” The petition can also be found at
users.moscow.com/ngier/home/plagiarism.htm.<BR><BR>Wilson is a former student
of mine and I am sorely disappointed in the way in which he has misused his
academic training at the University of Idaho.<BR><BR><U>Nick Gier,
