Can I please have some help here. Is this correct for Mla citation. I used a piece out of our book from school in my paper. It has multiple authors and I can't find anywhere city of publication, publisher or year. If this is correct is the grammar right.
Norton, Mary Beth, et. al. A History of the United States Volume 1 To 1877, Brief Eighth Edition.
Or here.

Yes, your MLA citation appears to be correct for a book with multiple authors. However, you need to include the missing information such as the city of publication, publisher, and year. Including this information is essential for an accurate citation.
To find the missing details, you can refer to the book itself or do a quick search online. Here's a step-by-step guide to finding the information:
1. Look at the title page and the copyright page of the book. The copyright page is typically located near the title page and includes important publication details.
2. On the copyright page, you should find the city or cities of publication. It could be listed as a single city or multiple cities.
3. Look for the publisher's name on the copyright page as well. It is usually listed below the city of publication.
4. The year of publication can also be found on the copyright page, usually near the bottom. It might be listed as an individual year or as a range (e.g., 2010-2015).
Once you have gathered the necessary information, you can revise your citation accordingly. Here's an example of an MLA citation for a book with multiple authors:
Norton, Mary Beth, et al. A History of the United States Volume 1 To 1877, Brief Eighth Edition. City of Publication, Publisher, Year.
Remember to replace "City of Publication," "Publisher," and "Year" with the specific information you find in your book.
Regarding the grammar, the citation you provided is written accurately. However, double-check for any typographical errors, such as misspelled names or misplaced punctuation marks, to ensure the citation is error-free.
