REVIEW:
AwesomeStories.com takes stories (involving history, disasters, famous trials, movies, biographies, inspiration, religion, and sports) and brings them to life by linking each story to actual manuscripts, paintings, historical maps, illustrations, data, and graphics. Users are encouraged to read the stories, examine the primary source material, and draw their own conclusions. The stories cover topics such as the Cuban missile crisis, the Great Depression, the history of flight, the trial of Lizzie Borden, Jim Crow laws, the biographies of Sacajawea and Benedict Arnold, and much more.
