We have been spending the week with an Amazing Group of educators from all over the country brought together under the auspices of the gulder Lehrman Institute of Early American History. This is generously supported by the Library Company of philadelphia and the pew center for arts and heritage. We spent the week tossing around ideas about how we might redraw Early American History.

Right, and that is a historical product. There may be some people who came to north america from europe or elsewhere with the idea in th
