History addresses the fundemental questions not unknown to the theologian, philosopher, or physicist alike:

1. Who am I/We?
2. What are I/We doing Here? What is this 'here'?
3. Taxonomically, how did things get to be this way?

The Historian adresses all of these fundamental questions.

Certain "Philosophers" may rebuke the Historian's quest, wailing, "Truth is but relative!". History - which is a type of Philo-sophia, as all 7 Sacred Sciences were to our pre-Judeo-Christist forebearers - includes the Science of ascertaining "facts" that, no matter how subjectively viewed or not viewed, are nonetheless Subjectively "true" to any given, real subject - such as "Truthful" be Gravity, Electromagnetism, and the Weak and Strong Nuclear Forces relative to homo sapien sapien. (The 4 Forces of modern Physics represent, by the way, the 4-letters of "God" concealed by the Jews "Tetragrammaton" formulae. Or, Fire, Water, Air(or Wood, in China), Earth (or Metal, in China).

So, let us investigate our Past with the tools of all the Arts and Sciences. Controversial Historian David Irving has said that the 2 greatest types of documents available to the Historian are letters first, and then diaries next. Mr. Irving's advice I heartily recommend to the budding new Historian, for, as another Historian hath writ:

"We usually admit that Americans are somewhat ignorant of History, but we don't realize how ignorant." - Richard Shenkman, author of, "Legends, Lies & Cherished Myths of American History".
