Ben’s Guide to U.S. Government for Kids
Reviewed February 18, 2000 by Nancy W. Lewis, a reader from USA who is not affiliated with the site. This site is for children about the government. Ben Franklin takes the K child on a tour of the town telling them what each government office does. The alphabet is related to government and the United States. Very nice site for my class.

"It is not well known that Franklin spent twenty years in London, residing at 36 Craven Street. He came to England to represent the colony of America, and while there undertook many scientific experiments in his home laboratory. This house is now the only surviving Franklin home in the world. The Friends of Benjamin Franklin House are currently undertaking its renovation and the establishment of a Centre dedicated to Franklin and his ideals. Their Web site includes a biography and tales of Franklin’s three extended English visits."

Battlefield Vietnam
"Battlefield Vietnam, also a PBS site, focuses on three military topics: Guerrilla Tactics, Air War and The Siege at Khe Sanh. "Khe Sanh was one of the most remote outposts in Vietnam, but by January 1968, even President Lyndon Johnson had taken a personal interest in the base. With Khe Sanh facing a full-scale siege by the North Vietnamese Army, the question was being asked: Should the base be held, or should it be quietly abandoned?""

Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin
"In 1791, a year after Franklin’s death, his autobiography "Memoires De La Vie Privee" was published in Paris. The first English translation, "The Private Life of the Late Benjamin Franklin....Originally Written By Himself, And Now Translated From The French," was published in London in 1793. Originally written for Franklin’s son William, then the Governor of New Jersey, it is considered the greatest autobiography of Colonial America.
