Exploring the Medieval Web: The Mining Co. Site

     This weekend I'd like you to explore a very interesting and rich
site about the Middle Ages put together by a dedicated 'amateur' of
the period, Melissa Snell. It is at The Mining Co. site, which
contains many cultural links. The specific page is 

Medieval / Renaissance History at the Mining Co..

     Please explore this site thoroughly. Read carefully a number of
the topics, essays, and links. Be sure to read, among others, the
essays on The Black Death. 

     Please share what you have found with others on our 
Web Discussion Forum.
As usual, please write about 150 words to begin with, and another 150
in response to other students.
