Could you imagine putting all pages of those books on the web? What great resource it would be. Unfortunately, I have seen very little original work on the web. IMO it's mostly repetitive and copied, borrowed, stolen from other sites. Editorials and commentaries offer a great source of information, but often reference sources not available on the web (such as the books you quoted).
How very true. There are vast amounts of information that have yet to be placed upon the web for public viwing, but there does exist a plethora of information available for a price. I know this all too well, I get genealogical information from a pay site that is not available publicly, and understand the reason - it costs money to put it there.
But that does not mean that it's not on the web - only that a 'bot' can't get to it.

I think I documented a few quotes about the tariff revenues a few weeks ago, and Lincoln's response. If I failed to do so Freepmail me.
