Yes, I am a big history dork
Jul. 4th, 2008 09:04 amI'm one of those people who actually reads the historical markers at various places and finds them interesting. So, because it's July 4th, I found this site about the Declaration of Independence. It's a pretty neat site. In addition to being able to read the Declaration as well as an account Jefferson wrote about what led to its writing (among other things), it has mini-biographies of all the signers and, for the über-dork, copies of the successive drafts -- both the rough draft (with notations as to who made what changes) and Congress's draft (and the changes they made), as well as a side by side comparison between the three versions. Now go forth and geek out!
