Abstract:

This is not really a site to go and gather information on but rather a outline to guide one along on an internet research project about the trials. Probably intended for teacher to use with high school or college students, this site outlines the basic events and gives short bios of some of the major players in the trials. This site can be used as a diving board into deeper more detailed research on the net. While the actual project the author had in mind is very carefully detailed, one could use this site to come up with their own ideas about how to learn about and interpret the trials.
