Introduction

Hi gang. Sorry it took so long to get going here, but I was waiting until I went to a conference on using technology in teaching history to get started on this Wiki.

We are now learning some new ways to liven up Wikis, and this intro is part of my exercise! I hope some of you have found the time to get started on our books.

Here's a little info on the author of our book,[| Joseph Ellis.]

Normally, we would avoid Wikipedia, but his [|publisher has been very sparse in providing info] ...perhaps because of [|some controversies.]

The book is valuable because of his telling of the stories of these men are part of the richness of our history. Mr. Ellis' versions of these events have not been called into question. I just wanted to cover this issue in case any interested parties brought this to your attention.

In this wiki, you will find some pages...and perhaps some of you will create some pages that we can all participate in! Anyway, welcome and come on in the pool...the water's fine!

Mr. P. June 30, 2010.
