Re: It Used to Be Common Knowledge That....

David, when you are ready, I would be interested, as I suspect others might be,

in hearing your thoughts on moving your Ft Sumter data base project in the

direction of a more "fair and balanced" presentation reflecting both north and

Southern perspectives. Also, I think your question approach is a very good way to

address the subject so long as the questions reflect chronologically the events

leading up to, during, and after the first shot was fired. As I type this, I am

uncertain if there would be any questions of the type we have discussed that

would follow the firing of the first shot, but there may be. Otherwise, it seems

all questions would either precede or address events occuring during the several

day Ft Sumter engagement.

Also, recalling your first mention of this a couple of years ago, I am fully aware

you have probably invested some further research and design time in defining

this project and, at this late date, including the proposed "fair and balanced"

approach may not be feasible without sacrificing some amount of time already

invested.

It just seems to me that your project, to be of maximum value, has got to invite

both northern and Southern participation. Do you agree with that, or am I alone

on that criteria?
