Chicago Style Notes

When using Chicago Style you will have numbered footnotes or endnotes as well as a bibliography.
The first time you cite a source, the note should include publishing information for that work as well as the page number on which the passage being cited may be found.
1. Peter Burchard, One Gallant Rush: Robert Gould Shaw and His Brave Black Regiment (New York: St. Martin's, 1965), 85.
For subsequent references to a source you have already cited, you may simply give the author's last name, a short form of the title, and the page or pages cited. A short form of the title of a book is italicized; a short form of the title of an article is put in quotation marks.
4. Burchard, One Gallant Rush, 31.
When you have two consecutive notes from the same source, you may use "Ibid." (meaning "in the same place") and the page number for the second note. Use "Ibid." alone if the page number is the same.
5. Jack Hurst, Nathan Bedford Forrest: A Biography (New York: Knopf, 1993), 8.
6. Ibid., 174.
