Read the actual "A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court" by
Mark Twain - not the Classics Illustrated comic book, not the
Bing Crosby version. Said Yankee goes back to Camelot and
establishes electricity, the telephone, and various flavors
of modern warfare, and picks up the native woman and establishes
said schools as above along the way. It would make a great movie
if they stuck to the book.
