Frederick W. Turner III Quote

“History does not exist for us until and unless we dig it up, interpret it, and put it together. Then the past comes alive, or, more accurately, it is revealed for what it has always been - a part of the present.”


Ratings and Comments


Mike, Norwalk

I like it a lot. The natural law of it says history is going to repeat itself whether or not we dig it up. That being said, the more we dig, interpret and put it accurately together, the more we know it is the same as the present and future.
