Folks, My latest story, The Louisian Purchase is ready for review and any corrections for typos or historical accuracy. In the story, Student (name inserted) uses his/her magical History Hat to travel back in time to have breakfast with Thomas Jefferson the day after he receives the letter about the offer of the Louisiana Purchase, and after breakfast, Student talks with TJ and Secy of State, James Madison, about the pending deal to convince TJ to go ahead with it, qualms notwithstanding. As aside, they enjoy the entertainment from TJ's pet bird, tho, I'm beginning to think there is too much of the bird in the story. Those interested, please give it a read at http://www.educationalsynthesis.org/books/TJefferson/Louisiana.html and give me your thoughts and opinions.
