Tech Support (Parent and Student Access)/Free download of Trial and Triumph
09-03-2020, 02:12 AM
Here is a link to what appears to be a free trial and triumph download -
http://clearwalksoft.com/childrens-books...iumph.html
I didn’t research if they have caveats regarding its use, perhaps someone can look into that before posting it on the website.
Also it says Elizabeth of Hungary had 4 children. My side reading about her only shows 3. So potential error there.

The website looks suspicious to me. Perhaps it's out of a foreign country where copyright laws are different or unenforceable? Because it doesn't explain under what agreements these copyrighted books are being posted, I don't feel comfortable linking it from the AO website.

I wouldn't download from that site. I have been on a similar one that downloaded viruses onto my old computer. Just to be on the safe side, I would say don't use it.

Definitely fair. It was one I scrolled past while looking for a page listing historical inaccuracies in the book. (Which I haven’t found.). I didn’t look any further than copying the link.

For laughs:
I found a free download of Trial and Triumph on Amazon. When I dowloaded it was a completely different older children's fiction book (it didn't have a title page so I don't know which one, and I have not gotten around to reading it). So I had to pony up the money and buy the real thing.

At one point, a long time ago, the author of Trial and Triumph did allow a free PDF version to be posted on the internet. We even asked him about it, and he said that he wanted it to be available then. That disappeared, though.
