Mom,

It's not as easy as I thought to copy directly from the history book CD onto a web page. I'm afraid it might be better to re-type the articles. We may want to ask Mike. He may have some ideas.

I did try to copy the Charles Boughton Sr. and the Pierre Bottineau articles and this is what I got. Click on his name below.
