Knowledge and History

We have read several books that have provided historical information in both non-fiction and historical fiction books. We have read about presidents Washington, Lincoln, Garfield, Teddy Roosevelt, Kennedy, and the ex-presidents club. We have learned about the civil war, WWII, Vietnam, and the first marines. We have learned about Sherman's march, abolitionists, pre-WWII Germany, post WWII America, and 1927 America. We read about Olympic athletes, Newton, cowboys and indians, the LAPD, Cuba, failed civilizations, and "Nearly Everything". Although the amount of knowledge is considerable, as pointed out in the book The Shallows, the difficult part is finding it with our random access memory.
