<font face="Times New Roman, Times">Greetings:<br><br>
This has been the most exhausting but enjoyable petition drive I've ever
managed. Virtually no one was on either campus, so I essentially
did home visits of those that were in town during vacation time. I
had great conversations (sometimes up to an hour) and I want to thank
many people for their hospitality and support. <br><br>
We, the undersigned Palouse academics, strongly condemn the use of
authors’ words without proper attribution. This petition is in
specific reference to Douglas Wilson’s and Steve Wilkins’ booklet
<i>Southern Slavery As It Was</i> (Canon Press, 1996), in which many
passages appear to have been copied from Robert William Fogel’s and
Stanley L. Engerman’s book <i>Time on the Cross: The Economics of
American Negro Slavery </i>(Little & Brown, 1974).<br><br>
