Rules
Always capitalize the first and last wordCapitalize all nouns, pronouns, adjectives,
verbs, adverbs, and subordinate conjunctions
Lowercase all articles, coordinate conjunctions ("and", "or", "nor"), and prepositions regardless of length, when they are other than the first or last word
Lowercase the "to" in an infinitive

Confusing Examples
My Travels up Nova Scotia's South Shore
(correct; "up" is functioning as a preposition and should be lowercased)
Bringing in the Sheaves
(wrong; "in" is functioning as an adverb and should be capitalized)
