ABOUT THE FREEDOM SHRINE
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you ask a small child to tell you what historical documents he holds
|
||
|
|
most dear, you're liable to get for your answer the question: "What's a
|
||
|
|
historical document?". If you ask the average student in the typical
|
||
|
|
city, the response will vary, depending on his or her social status,
|
||
|
|
education, family background, and a myriad of other choices. The aver-
|
||
|
|
age adult might come back with a very short list, and it will usually
|
||
|
|
include The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution. But ask a
|
||
|
|
librarian...and you'd better be prepared for a long dissertation...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Each area of this country that has a FREE NET will likely have a list
|
||
|
|
of titles special to their area, and keyed to the curricula of the
|
||
|
|
local education system. Some of the choices special to one area will
|
||
|
|
have little significance in another part of the country...those
|
||
|
|
documents likely of interest to most parts of the United States are
|
||
|
|
included in every FREE NET...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The idea for this Freedom Shrine was born in the Year of the Constitu-
|
||
|
|
tion, when that treasured document was celebrating its 200th anniver-
|
||
|
|
sary. There were few places you could go "on line" to actually read
|
||
|
|
the words that the Framers laid down in 1787, and which have stood up
|
||
|
|
to the test of time...and some don't show up in ANY electronic system.
|
||
|
|
The idea...was originally submitted by Gerald E. Murphy, USN (Ret) of
|
||
|
|
Lakewood, OH and it was he that provided much of the research...that
|
||
|
|
you are about to enjoy as you re-live the history of the United States
|
||
|
|
of America.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
...the documents are either written out in full or the details, which
|
||
|
|
provide sufficient background to their understanding, are spelled out
|
||
|
|
in these suggested books and other documents, either in full or by
|
||
|
|
reference...
