Thanks for adding my library to your list too! I see that my good stuff + a lot of junk is in handsome company!

----just a note to say that I think your response about the current non-teaching of history is spot-on. I'm sorry that the group didn't give you their attention. Schools certainly differ, but often the kids in my high school didn't actually learn anything. I would have been grateful for somebody grounded with a few dates.

Thank you for accepting my friends invitation. I hope my profile gave you some new insights into Volney, Jefferson and Franco-American history. I will be glad to answer any questions you might have regarding Volney, his views, or book purchases. All Zee Best, TCW
