July/Aug.

After reading the autobiography of Ben Franklin and The Shoemaker, I learned many things that I didn't know before. I had never heard of George Hewes. These books are not just facts that were memorized and then forgotten. They shed some insight on the history that we learned. These books are much different than the history books that we read when we were in school. The interpretations are much different and now I realize the bias that comes from some authors that you don't get from primary resources.
