What sources provide the most valuable information about the past?
In the past I would have said that some of the documentaries on the History Channel are interesting (the Civil War series by Ken Burns was excellent). Now I would not recommend History Channel to anybody. I don't see anything listed on the channel that is even remotely connected to history (i.e., Swamp people, brothers etc.). However, History International is great (I have to pay a little more for that channel) plus the Smithsonian channel and National Geographic. And, of course, there are BOOKS. Some are fiction based on historical information, some are just the information, both are good sources. Museums, Natural History Museum, whatever is in your city. I like the films in particular because you can actually see what life was like back then (the films go back several hundred years when the camera was invented). I like to see the clothes people wore, their homes, their towns, what they did for entertainment, you know like Deadwood (HBO). Very very interesting.
How do you get good grades in history?
Take notes in class, study notes and ideas before an exam, do all your history homework, and pay attention to history.
Why do you never learn from History?
Well most of the time it is too boring for anyone to actually pay attention, or some people just don't need to pay attention because history has nothing to do with what they want to be when they grow up!

What was the average wage in 1927?
I know Ford paid 5.00 a day for the men on his assembly line and this was considered good pay. The average was 2-5 cents an hour.
