The following was excerpted from the Free Net BBS by Myrna M. Quayle
for the members of the NORTHEAST OHIO PC CLUB members and guests who
are interested in genealogy and the historic events that helped shape
their ancestors lives.

ABOUT THE FREEDOM SHRINE
If you ask a small child to tell you what historical documents he holds
most dear, you're liable to get for your answer the question: "What's a
historical document?". If you ask the average student in the typical
city, the response will vary, depending on his or her social status,
education, family background, and a myriad of other choices. The aver-
age adult might come back with a very short list, and it will usually
include The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution. But ask a
librarian...and you'd better be prepared for a long dissertation...
Each area of this country that has a FREE NET will likely have a list
of titles special to their area, and keyed to the curricula of the
local education system. Some of the choices special to one area will
have little significance in another part of the country...those
documents likely of interest to most parts of the United States are
included in every FREE NET...
The idea for this Freedom Shrine was born in the Year of the Constitu-
tion, when that treasured document was celebrating its 200th anniver-
sary. There were few places you could go "on line" to actually read
the words that the Framers laid down in 1787, and which have stood up
to the test of time...and some don't show up in ANY electronic system.
The idea...was originally submitted by Gerald E. Murphy, USN (Ret) of
Lakewood, OH and it was he that provided much of the research...that
you are about to enjoy as you re-live the history of the United States
of America.
...the documents are either written out in full or the details, which
provide sufficient background to their understanding, are spelled out
in these suggested books and other documents, either in full or by
reference...
Gerald Murphy (The Cleveland Free-Net - aa300)
