I am going to "buckle down" and get started on my oral presentation for my Culture and Civilization of Latin America course. My assigned person is Simón Bolívar. Do you have any specific suggestions as to where I could find information (in English at least to start) on this historical person?

Google: Simon Bolivar.

You'll find many sites about him.
I was looking for more specific advice than that, but okay I will take that route. Thank you anyway.
Within Google, you can also search Google Scholar -- http://scholar.google.com -- to find even more academic sources.

If you're looking for something very specific, you can also use the options in Google Advanced Search:
