Y'all probably know that I am a history buff. A column in our "Computer 
Link", a weekly magazine that is included with our Tuesday San Diego 
Union-Tribune, is called "Surfing the Net with Your Kids". Today's column was 
about historical web sites of interest to kids (and their parents, too).
For instance,
    http://grid.let.rug.nl/"welling/usa/usa.html
concerns the American Revolution.
http://earlyamerica.com/earlyamerica/freedom/index.html
covers America's freedom documents such as the Declaration of Independence, 
Constitution and Bill of Rights. Sure, those of you with a good set of 
hardback encyclopedia or one on CD can get to copies of these. So, you might 
want to look at...
http://www.libertynet.org:80/lha/betsy/
for the Betsy Ross display. This one includes the story, how to cut a five 
point star with a single scissor snip, trivia about the flag, flag etiquette.
Or, if you'd rather, visit Valley Forge by going to the website 
http://www.libertynet.org:80/lha/valleyforge/
Kids should go to the Kids Page. Under "who served here" is a story about 
Martha Washington.
If you were irritated at the treatment of the story of Captain John Smith and 
Pocahontas in the Disney movie, there is a site that might trip your 
trigger...
    http://www.widomaker.com/"apva/
...this is the story of the real Jamestown.
If you'd like to see this column every week, don't wait for me to post it.
