A look at 1st-Hand-History
Topic: Newest Links

If you want to know about history, as it really was, try reading first-hand accounts --- those primary sources discussed on on the "Native History Magazine" home page.

A great source on the web for items like these is is a non-profit organization called "1st-hand-history." The web address is:

http://www.1st-hand-history.org/index.htm

If you do as the website says, and read some of the books and documents there with your brain engaged, you'll learn a great deal more than just history. Step inside the minds of the people who wrote the documents. You just may be surprised about what you learn about North America's past, and the attitudes, fears and prejudices of the people who wrote them.

Below is a poster for the organization. America's history is your history!
