1. @http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/map_item.pl?data=/home/www/data/gmd/gmd382/g3820/g3820/rr002900.jp2&style=gmd&itemLink=D?gmd:28:./temp/~ammem_LfzV::@@@mdb=gmd&title=Pennsylvania. This site shows a map of Pennsylvania from the 1829 that does not yet have our county, Cameron, formed. Part of our studies of the Bucktail unit deal with the fact that some of the members were from Cameron County, so this would be interesting to show them how things have changed.

Maps 1 and 2 could be used as comparison/contrast of how things changed during the Bucktails' lives.

3.http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/map_item.pl?data=/home/www/data/gmd/gmd382/g3820/g3820/cwh00157.jp2&style=gmd&itemLink=D?gmd:55:./temp/~ammem_LfzV::@@@mdb=gmd&title=[Map%20of%20Pennsylvania%20and%20part%20of%20New%20Jersey]]].]] Another map of PA from the 1860's. Again does not yet show Cameron as a county, which is were our local Bucktails were from. Could be used to compare with map number 1 for clarity, ease of use, etcetera.

4. @http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/map_item.pl?data=/home/www/data/gmd/gmd382/g3824/g3824g/cw0345500.jp2&style=gmd&itemLink=D?gmd:32:./temp/~ammem_LfzV::@@@mdb=gmd&title=Gettysburg%20battlefield%20today.%20Pennsylvania%20Railroad. Map of the Gettysburg Battlefield from 1913. Much easier to see because it's illustrated, so using this to detail the Bucktail's movement/involvement would be nice.

5. @http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/map_item.pl?data=/home/www/data/gmd/gmd382/g3824/g3824g/cw0331000.jp2&itemLink=r?ammem/gmd:@field(NUMBER+@band(g3824g+cw0331000))&title=Field+of+Gettysburg,+July+1st,+2nd+%26+3rd,+1863+Prepared+by+T.+Ditterline.&style=gmd&legend= Map of Gettysburg Battlefield from 1863. Used in comparison/contrast with map number 4 to detail Bucktail's involvement in the battle.


 * 02/20 Sheet Music and Cover Art **

1. @http://dc.lib.unc.edu/cdm4/document.php?CISOROOT=/sheetmusic&CISOPTR=26372&REC=4 Sheet music from the Confederacy. Cover art included. Could be used for overall background info on era, culture, mindset, etc. I could also use this piece as a comparison/contrast with number 2 on the list, which is the same title of song, but different lyrics.

2. @http://dc.lib.unc.edu/cdm4/document.php?CISOROOT=/sheetmusic&CISOPTR=20394&REC=6 More Confederate sheet music and cover art. Besides providing background and historical significance to the Civil War and why people got involved to being with, it can also be used in a comparison/contrast with number 1. See above.

3. @http://dc.lib.unc.edu/cdm4/document.php?CISOROOT=/sheetmusic&CISOPTR=20343&REC=10 The cover art in itself would be a good NARA exercise, but the lyrics of the sheet music definitely lend themselves to analysis of the Southern state of mind during the Civil War. This would be used to show my students the other side of the story.

4. @http://lcweb2.loc.gov/diglib/ihas/loc.natlib.ihas.200001178/default.html This particular piece of sheet music deals directly with the Bucktail regiment, the subject of my local history project. I think the kids would be pretty amazed to see that our local boys were a part of such an important regiment that songs were written about them. This would be used to provide added social and cultural knowledge to the Bucktails that we're studying. It also provides details as to how the general public viewed and regarded the regiment.

5. @http://lcweb2.loc.gov/diglib/ihas/loc.natlib.ihas.200000822/default.html Everyone knows this song; many of my kids could probably sing it by heart. I would use this piece to illustrate just why it was written, and to have them disect the song, looking for the song's message and how it would have affected our local Bucktails. Like me, I often know something by heart but have never really taken the time to consider just what the lyrics are actually saying.

6. @http://lcweb2.loc.gov/diglib/ihas/loc.natlib.ihas.200001288/default.html I thought this piece would be a wonderful study in Civil War symbolism. The cover art is rich and interesting. I would have the kids use either the SEA or NARA sheet on the cover art, and then take the lyrics and rewrite them in "every day" language to show they understand the meaning of the song, because it's a little tricky. These are the types of songs our local Bucktails would have listened to, so this would apply inasmuch as it adds to their overall understanding of culture at that time.

7. @http://lcweb2.loc.gov/diglib/ihas/loc.natlib.ihas.200000853/default.html I would use this song to compare and contrast with number 5. Both show the patriotic side of the Civil War and would be great for building understanding, knowledge, and appreciation in our modern day kids.

8. @http://lcweb2.loc.gov/diglib/ihas/loc.natlib.ihas.200002382/default.html This is from the Southern perspective. It would be great to use the SEA form to compare and contrast this poster with the cover art in number 5. Both lend themselves to background of the Civil War and different perspectives therein.

9. @http://www.stephen-foster-songs.de/civilwar.htm Thanks, Jeanine, for this link. It has numerous recorded songs that were popular during the civil war. This would add a whole different dimension to the students' learning as it would allow them to actually hear the songs instead of just reading lyrics. You are very welcome! :0)

02/12/10 4-D-1 Photographs and Posters 1. @http://pabucktail.com/ImagesCOC.html This page has four photographs of Civil War soldiers from our hometown who were members of the Bucktail regiment. This would be used as supporting material when introducing the local (Cameron County) regiment's involvement in the Civil War, as well as for various other activities I've submitted throughout the unit.

2. @http://pabucktail.com/ImagesCOF.html This page shows the photographs of three officers in the Bucktail regiment hailing from Carbon County, PA. Photos would be used to further support the background of the regiment as well as to illustrate the socio-economic differences between the Cameron County soldiers and these suburban men.

3. @http://www.smethportpa.org/pdf/bucktailbrochure2009.pdf This brochure, provided online by our neighboring town of Smethport, PA, has numerous photographs of Thomas L. Kane, Brig. Gen. of the Bucktails, whom I have already stated will be one of the key players in my project. These will be used to provide characterization of the man. The brochure also has recruitment posters and photos of the Smethport of Kane's recruitment days to give the students an accurate representation of the time.

4. http://memory.loc.gov/ndlpcoop/nhnycw/ac/​ac03/ac03172v.jpg Here we have a CW recruitment poster that would be used to both analyze attitudes displayed through the poster as well as to compare/contrast with Kane's efforts at recruiting men.

5. @http://www.digitalarchives.state.pa.us/archive.asp?view=ArchiveItems&ArchiveID=17&FID=1250493&LID=1250542&FL=K&Page=4 This Archive's link shows Brig. Gen. Thomas L. Kane's Veteran card file from the Civil War. The first three cards on the page belong to him. These would be used to gather background information about the man as well as to discover how his military career played out.

02/05/10 - The following 5 links all pertain to my project isasmuch as I intend to introduce my students to the Civil War's Bucktail regiment (13th Pennsylvania Reserves), which was locally formed, and pay particular attention to Brig. Gen. Thomas Kane. Kane was instrumental in forming the group and advanced through the ranks. He was from a neighboring county to mine wherein a town is named in his honor. 1. @http://memory.loc.gov/mss/mal/mal1/183/1833500/001.jpg This is a letter from Thomas Kane to Abraham Lincoln regarding his promotion and meeting with Lincoln in person. Kane is the main focus of my Bucktail research as a neighboring town was named after him.

2. @http://memory.loc.gov/mss/mal/mal1/224/2248600/001.jpg Another letter from Kane to Lincoln, this time regarding his position and assignment of duties. He also advises Lincoln as to aspects of war/soldiers, etc.

3. @http://www.digitalarchives.state.pa.us/archive.asp?view=ArchiveItems&ArchiveID=17&FID=1250493&LID=1250542&FL=K&Page=4 Thomas Kane's Civil War Veteran's Card providing key data about his background and military history.

4. @http://xroads.virginia.edu/~CAP/SCARTOONS/abe.html Political cartoons of Abraham Lincoln in reference to political beliefs/actions during the Civil War. These would be used during the intro to gather knowledge on the broader topic of the Civil War.

5. @http://pabucktail.com/Newspapers/PhilaPress/12111861p2.htm This is a Philadelphia newspaper article from 1861 about the newly formed Bucktails. Details their whereabouts, actions, and origins all while commending the group as a whole.
