A concern for accurate teaching of the history of the F&I War, the American Revolution, and the War of 1812 is on-topic for this list, as are, within reason, what we can do about it. Please refrain from any emphasis on modern political partisanship. But the discussion is a good one. What can individuals do in their own community to help history come alive for kids? I work several days each month in a Rev War National Park. I get to see people "doing it right" in a number of different ways. The ones I'd be concerned about are the ones we *don't* see coming into places like the parks. John Robertson List manager American-Revolution-L
