Root for the Truth!: More than one side

More than one side · Jun 14, 10:16 PM

Here at Root for the Truth we believe in digging around for other perspectives. A recent article in The Christian Science Monitor brought to my attention a wonderful multimedia online museum exhibit that fits right in with that notion.

In the article The Monitor concludes, “Raid on Deerfield reminds us that there are as many sides to any story as there are people involved – something worth remembering on a daily basis.”

The “exhibit”, Raid on Deerfield: The Many Stories of 1704 is about a raid on an English settlement by the French and Indians. It’s an in-depth look at the cultures involved, their daily lives and what led up to the raid. To quote The Monitor once more, the website manages

to simultaneously communicate five different cultural perspectives of the same historical event in a comprehensible manner. (In fact, as the site’s title suggests, there are many more than five stories related here. The narratives of twenty-three individuals involved in the raid are also included in the production.)

If you are interested in looking at the different sides of an issue (or even if you aren’t) don’t miss Raid on Deerfield: The Many Stories of 1704 at http://www.1704.deerfield.history.museum/.
