KimC+8E-+David+T.+Abercrombie



=__**Phase 1**__= 1. My historical figure is often remembered through different visuals. David T. Abercrombie is remembered by his clothing retail business: "Abercrombie & Fitch". I barely know about his historical accomplishments, however, do know he was a founder of the famous retail clothing company today. By the look of the clothes that holds his name, it refers to the state of New York; also an important clue for my research. I can infer that he had major success in his clothing company in New York, because the clothes that holds his name today refers to the state. Like most people in the world today, my knowledge barely composes of his success, and rather acknowledge his clothing that is sold today.

2. As referred to the previous question, my historical knowledge is very much dominated by the modern knowledge of David Abercrombie. My knowing of this historical figure composes mostly his name and the clothes being sold now, rather than his historical successes and overcomes he has demolished through his goal. I would like to know his historical commitments, as well as his family. Because I only know his clothes and his name today, I would definitely like to research his historical actions, what lifted him in order to start a clothing business, as well as his family. His family members, and his growth are not common facts I hold right now. I would want the information of his goals and family from the past dominate my knowledge for David Abercrombie in the modern world today.

3. There are several places where information can be obtained. Because his clothing business still breathes throughout today, there are definitely information about his historical family, and attempts he has made to start a clothing company. Some factors available for definite research is the clothing stores' website. Thanks to the relief that the company is not demolished over the course of years, the website of the company in the modern day today can definitely provide information of how the company was developed; information of David T. Abercrombie. Other places might include several websites in search engines, however. I might need to be cautious. Because of the fact that not all websites hold reliable information, I need to access websites that have ".org", or ".edu" in order to obtain true information in reliable educational organization websites.

 * Historical Question: __//"What factors caused David Abercrombie to change is studies from engineering to clothing business?"//__**


 * Information Expected:** During my research, I am pretty sure I will go through some obstacles in terms of measure of information provided by the resources. I would essentially find information about his family, his home, date of birth and death, however, not all search engines would provide specific measures of information in terms of reasons. The resources might provide me with facts, locations, and many information that holds definite answer. His wife, mother, father, siblings, location of death, might be the information I am expected to find. It might be a little difficult to answer my question, because it might vary different answers in terms of reasons why. The majority of the information I would find would be facts, or definite answers about my historical figure.


 * Tools used to obtain information:** Like stated before, information I will be using would include reliable websites across the web. The official website of "Abercrombie and Fitch", or websites that contain reliable associations of companies. Blogs, of websites holding answers to a questioner would not be a reliable resource I will be using because the surfers throughout the web might not post up truthful, or safe information. It might hold opinions, as a result, I am looking toward using websites that is a university, an official website of a company associated with Abercrombie, or a historical organization website where professional writers are only permitted to post reliable information about my historical figure.

“We're beefing up our rehab services for the coming years, including cardiac rehab.”

“From our standpoint things have run pretty smoothly. We had all those bikes riding around in the rain (Saturday) night. I would have anticipated more accidents.”

“I know it sounds overused, but truthfully, each department is interdependent upon the other. You couldn't have done it without physicians, hospital board and staff members, city council — all different stakeholder groups consistently working together.” = = = = =__**Phase 4: Secondary Sources**__= //__Visual__// http://www.artipot.com/articles/211729/the-life-of-david-t-abercrombie.htm http://www.scripophily.net/abfitcom19.html http://www.saintmarys.edu/~berdayes/vincehome/courses/comm303/student%20projects/finchness/history.html

 * Summary**: Rather than my primary sources, my secondary sources indicated more points of success the company. I realized through my research that my secondary sources gave me ideas that were more clear than my primary sources. I assume this is the case because the establishment of these secondary sources were published in the modern era of my life.
