I enjoyed looking around your site and plan to link just as soon as I have 20 seconds.....:) I too and a child of the south and I agree with many of the things you discuss in your "first post".

I do this constantly with my nine year olds. I constantly ask, "What would a historian think about this? What would a historian do based on this information?" Some of my students are ready for a pipe and tweed jacket with elbow patches......:) Thank you for visiting and linking to History Is Elementary.
