Yep, the immediate needs of politics in any age take precedence over any knowledge of the past.
Ever wonder if the library at Alexandria was torched?
By the way, there was an Indiana researcher on Caravan To Midnight about a year ago telling about the stone walls and remnants of fortifications that were removed from the Ohio River by the railroads at the behest of DC. Very interesting history. Just today I heard about the number of ancient building sites around the state of Ohio as well as many strung across the continent.
