First Nations History
"Native Americans have occupied northern New England for at least 10,000 years. There is no proof these ancient residents were ancestors of the Abenaki, but there is no reason to think they were not. Fifty native tribes (in alpha order from the Abenaki of New England to the Winnebago of Wisconsin) are covered with single paragraph summaries that expand to full page reports."

False Revolutionary War History
Reviewed June 14, 2000 by Jim Elbrecht, a parent from Schenectady, NY who is affiliated with the site. For several years the Internet has been circulating a short piece about the Signers of the Declaration of Independence called "The Price they Paid". Apparently no-one has been prompted to look further than these few hundred words because they rarely get even the Signer’s names spelled correctly. I have spent the last year researching the Signers as individuals and am appalled at both the tone of these essays and the 1/2 truths or outright lies that they tell. The *real* lives of the Signers are more interesting, and in most cases more inspiring than these pieces of fantasy. The above site tries to, in a few words, set the record straight and point interested students and historians toward some credible biographies of the Signers.
