Otherwise it is incumbent on the user to contact the author of the article for permission to use portions of the article in question. Information taken from “shnet” with no author listed, for example “William Walker’s Mexican Mistake” should be followed by the attribution “as cited in www.southernhistory.net,“ so that it reads:

At times the source of a work will be found at another web site and in such cases the following example should be resorted to: Adams, John Quincy, b. 1845, Narrative of the Life of John Quincy Adams, When in Slavery, and Now as a Freeman. Harrisburg, Pa.: Sieg, 1872. 64 p. http://docsouth.unc.edu/browse/author/ as cited in www.southernhistory.net.
These tenets will, in the case of claims of plagiarism, help protect you from any litigations, and honor the source from which the information is taken. History may have happened independently of our involvement, but the fact that what little we do know of it is known to us at all is the result of somebody’s hard work and effort. Remember, plagiarism is theft.

Note: "At 9:30 o'clock this morning he was baptized in a creek near the jail by the colored clergyman. The ceremony was witnessed by a large crowd, which thronged both banks of the stream. As he came out of the water Williams shouted and jumped about so much that it was with the greatest difficulty that the Sheriff and several guards held him."
