Rhetoric There is a podcast called "New York City History: The Bowery Boys." We listened to one on De Witt Clinton and the Erie Canal. You can find it on iTunes for download or listen on the Bowery Boys web site. Very conversational tone, I recommend for parents or rhetoric students.
This blog is a look into our homeschooling journey as we use Tapestry of Grace. You'll also find stories from various books I have collected that are now in the public domain and real life slipping in occasionally. Most posts from the public domain books have a pdf that you may download and print. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
