I know I am retired and not supposed to care any more, but read these essays, Yarbrough on Jefferson and Guelzo on Lincoln. No, they won't take more than 10 minutes, but are remarkably spot on. And, if you care at all, they'll make an impression in a number of ways.
Note Guelzo on history textbooks "passing muster" and Yarbrough on Jeff's slavery and our snobbish views of it.

About Me
- Ron Marinucci
- I have been married to Karen for 47 of my 73 years. I have two sons, Mike and Matt, both adults (at least in chronological age), and three grandchildren. I am retired, I suppose. I continue to teach college history, part-time; I still enjoy it, although the increasing amount of silly paperwork is grating and will likely be what drives me to fully retire. I have a BA in history from Amherst College and three graduate degrees. I do a little writing, too, some of which actually brings in some money.
