"The
great historian Edward Gibbon once called history, 'Little more than the
register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind.' Voltaire
called it a trick played by the living upon the dead. According to Thomas
Carlyle, history is 'a distillation of rumor.' And Henry Ford said
history is 'more or less bunk.'
This
American history is a little bit of these and then some. But one thing
history is is not is boring. History is alive and human--and
changing all the time. We need to rewrite it. And we need to learn from
it.
America has
survived a lot. Revolution. A Civil War. Two World Wars. Depressions
and recessions. Presidents and politicians, bad and good. And even a
baseball strike. As the country takes uncertain steps toward the next
century, remembering America's history becomes all the more important.
What's past, after all, is prologue.
--Kenneth C. Davis, Don't Know Much About History.
