Ushistory.org's The Declaration of Independence
site offers a look at the great document, the signers of the
Declaration, the Declaration's history, and links to other
Declaration-related materials online.
The site features Thomas Jefferson's account
of the Declaration, biographical information about each of
the men who signed the document, an online version of the
document with a link to a picture of the Declaration, and
information about the Jacob Graff House where Thomas Jefferson
wrote the document during the three weeks he resided there.
A fine list of events and people is also included at http://www.ushistory.org/declaration/related/index.htm
Rating: Superb information about the
Declaration and its signers as we celebrate our country's
224th birthday!
