This site is as content rich as it is beautifully crafted. Its interactive entrance sets the standard and that standard is maintained throughout. It seeks to provide a message, but that message is never overwhelmed by the technology used to convey that message. Information is presented in a well structured manner, with graphics that ably support text and provide historical context. This site is appealing on so many levels, but perhaps its greatest success comes from its ability to educate and entertain simultaneously.

The Descendants of TS Graves is awe inspiring for any designer. The site is simply beautiful in its design and execution. In keeping with "Colby's" eye for a unique blend of knowledge and technology this site has it all. The Daniel Stout flash animation is flawless and Michael Graves demonstrates his love for his subject with an exhaustive command of details and thorough subject treatment.

This well-designed site takes us on a journey into the past with great images and amazing stories of fascinating people and places. The author has obviously researched his subject thoroughly and has portrayed it for us in a professional, yet warm and friendly manner that makes learning about history fun.

Best Regards,
Wendy, David & Colby Russell
