I will probably use this story as part of one of my first lessons this year. This story exemplifies the premise of this blog - it puts history into the news, reveals the work that historians and their students are doing, and therefore brings life 300 years ago directly into the classroom.
With stories like this, history simply stops being static, fixed, and seemingly irrelevant.
