"You are American historians from the late 20th century writing the 'real' history of the growth of your nation in the New World.  Your focus is on the Territories, now called the State of Gilead, a prosperous and religiously conservative member of the United States of America.  Some of you are conspiracy theorists writing revisionist histories of the fantastic events that took place in the mid-nineteenth century.  Some of you are religious scholars recounting the birth and growth of a new religion in a new land.  Some of you are skeptical or critical historians offering "rational" explanations of the fantastic legends that have been handed down in Gilead." <br>
