Oz: The Beginnings
Introduction: Me
Pierre Nora once said, "Memory always belongs to our time and forms a lived bond with the eternal present; history is a representation of the past." Follow the yellow brick road. Those words have formed a bond with me throughout my lifetime so far, and they probably will stay forever with me, in that cyclone within my mind, that cyclone that has existed within my life until this point. I now will attempt to remove this cyclone by chronicling the real. The true "tale", if you will, of the events and manifestations of what has been and what is happening now, stories and memories that have shaped my life as well as my family and the large parade of characters that have passed through it, some still resting within its walls, eternally present. I cannot and will not blemish these details, which will become part of your knowledge, as they previously have been over the years by these "Historians", a word which I would want changed in relation to these people. So I hope through the eyes of myself, a person who has first-hand evidence and experiences in this land and its history, one will come to learn the truth, and not deliver a history which is just a representation of far greater things. The truth with which there will be no embellishes or over use of adjective. All events told from this point on are true, and backed up with evidence which confirms their reality, and reality is what I want to give, not like the aforementioned 'representation.' So I start by casting my eyes over diaries and letters, as well many of forms of documentary media, to guide you my readers (and maybe even students) to obtain knowledge of my home. The land in which I reside, for now. The land removed from maps. The Land of Oz.
