History is also the study of the people who lived during those events. From the beginning of recorded time, people have invented new ways to do things, created beauty in dreary places, and erected buildings and monuments that continue to inspire us. Some of these people became well-known figures and others were ordinary men and women like you and me.

Without an understanding of the past, we will be less equipped to live in the present and plan for the future.” —Dr. Christopher Perrin
