Voices of 1776 is a collection of excerpts from letters, diaries, and other writings by those involved in the Revolutionary War. These writing are arranged in chronological order following the course of the war. Interspersed throughout are annotations by the author explaining the situation, clarifying the writer's intent, and providing continuity. It is an EXCELLENT work. You feel as if the participants of this historic conflict are telling their story to you. And at around $12 it's a bargain in every sense of the word. | |

Liberty! - The American Revolution is an AWESOME 3-tape (VHS) set produced by PBS. Hosted by Forrest Sawyer, the six-episode series starts out covering the events that led to the colonists taking up arms, and ends with the Constitutional Convention in 1787. In between is a fascinating presentation of the Revolutionary War giving insight and details you won't find in any history book. Actors in period dress read lines taken from letters, diaries, and writings of those they portray. This series will give you a new appreciation for how amazing it was that we actually won that war. (Also available on DVD.) | |

Gettysburg is not a documentary but an epic motion picture shot on the actual Gettysburg battlefield in Pennsylvania using thousands of volunteer Civil War reenactors as extras. Their involvement and an attention to detail in costuming, armaments, etc. represents an effort above and beyond most Hollywood productions. The cast, including Martin Sheen, Sam Elliott, Tom Berenger, and Jeff Daniels, considered their work on this movie more than "doing a job". They and the producers felt a sense of responsibility in portraying this pivotal battle as accurately as possible to honor the memory of those who died on the same ground where they were filming. This sense of responsibility and attention to detail is evident in the quality of this work. (Also available on DVD.) | |

Time does not allow me to respond to individual e-mails regarding problems with installing or configuring Linux or Solaris, or writing your own CGI scripts. Problems provide you with golden opportunities to really learn how things work. Analyze, investigate, research, experiment, LEARN. (Questions regarding the Bestdam Logger script or the Apollo 11 Mission screensaver are welcome.) |
