Witness To History

Witness to History is a collection of first-hand accounts written by people who saw major historic events take place. Some of the witnesses are bystanders or non-players in the big evens of history. They are people like Jean Hill, the American schoolteacher who saw from very close at hand the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. They are ordinary people, people like us, who just happened to be there when some historic even took place; we can identify with them. Other witnesses are major players in the events they describe: people like Orville Wright describing his historic first flight. They are the makers of history. The mix of people who are witnesses to history is itself remarkable and fascinating. It is their testimonies, collectively, with all their intriguing and
sometimes mystifying inconsistencies and contradictions, which become the raw material of history.
