history can be dull, I know. Dates and battles and kings and presidents. If you are getting bored with that information, try to find a historical novel or movie like The Patriot, to help you get a grasp on the people that lived then. What happens today will be our great great grandchildren's boring dates and battles and kings and presidents

This time of year is also good to learn about history in a different way with all the ghost stories out there. There are a number about Revolutionary ghosts.

People's life stories will give you an almost soap opera view. That really helped me get interested in history and it was a life long love
