Hi, I'm watching this with my son and I grew up in Erie and he was looking through the video and he wanted to know why no sources were listed in the UA-cam video or in the description notes. He's always very cautious of what he reads and watches and wants to make sure that what he is consuming and learning is the truth. Growing up in Erie, I know that this is history but for him it's just another video. Thank you so much!.

I would say that "All history is told by a person who interprets events in the past. Never rely on one person's version of history, and be cautious of those who may tell you that that only 'their version' of events, is correct."
Our videos should only inspire you to want to explore the rabbit hole.
Most of the information in this video is available through old newspapers on Newsbank, freely accessible using your library card. It's an excellent free Erie history resource.
