I really stumbled across my thesis topic. I was vaguely considering something to do with aboriginal Canadian history or something - to make use of my French skills, too, in researching - but then I used "The Medical and Surgical History of the War of the Rebellion" for a history of American medicine paper and I was SOLD. If you find one brilliant source, everything else can follow. ;) Remember, when picking your topic: it really has to grab your attention. You're going to put a lot of hours into reading and writing about this thing, so it had better be interesting! ;)
