You Better Be Getting An ‘A’, Punk
August 18, 2005It is sweet to be a kid these days. My friend’s daughter rolls her eyes whenever I start down this road, but it must to be so easy to write essays in the age of the internet. Remember the encyclopedia? Puh-leeze…
When I was a lad, my most reliable second source was John Carey’s Eyewitness To History, a collection of first-hand accounts detailing dozens of historical events. In case your library doesn’t have a copy, the internet brings you “History Through The Eyes Of Those Who Lived It” at eyewitnesstohistory.com.
You can search or browse their database of historical events for articles, photographs, original recordings and other material. I particularly enjoy the It Happened This Month section.
