The Life of a Civil War Soldier Barbara J. Sanders Reprinted from the OAH Magazine of History 16 (Winter 2002). ISSN 0882-228X There are a number of national parks, state historical societies, and other public history organizations that can and want to assist classroom teachers in meeting their curriculum objectives with items and activities that are theme- or site-specific and that enhance the textbook. The following lesson plan is based on the theory and concepts of Gettysburg National Military Park's "Life of a Civil War Soldier" traveling trunk program, which loans materials and lesson plans to schools across the country. The demand far exceeds our supply, and so the following article is a "recipe" for creating and presenting a trunk of Civil War materials to your own class, year after year. Most of our trunks, and the following activities, are targeted toward a fifth-grade class, but could easily be adapted to classrooms from third through eighth grade. Theme Through experiences with all five of the senses, the daily life of a soldier can be reconstructed for students, personalizing the study of the Civil War. Goal The goal of the traveling trunk is to provide multisensory experiences surrounding the daily life of a Civil War soldier, thereby instilling interest in, and understanding of, the American Civil War and the soldier's experience.

American Civil War Visitor DVD Selections These Titles have been the most often selected by the visitors to AmericanCivilWar.com since 1996 The DVD features on The Civil War provide a wealth of insight, creative philosophy, historical perspective, and educational enjoyment. Twelve years after its premiere broadcast, the film was given a digital facelift, sharpening image clarity, correcting color, and enriching its soundtrack with a remastered 5.1-channel mix, as demonstrated in the "Civil War Reconstruction" featurette. Before Ken Burns, Glory, and Gettysburg, the Civil War proved an effective backdrop for this 1982 miniseriesavailable complete and uncut on this three-disc setabout two families divided by the War Between the States. John Hammond stars as John Geyser, a Southerner caught "betwixt and between" when he becomes a war correspondent for the Northern newspaper published by his uncle. Like a Civil War-era Forrest Gump, he finds himself "where history's in the making," from the Battle of Bull Run to the scene of President Abraham Lincoln's assassination. Stacy Keach costars as an Army scout who takes the "fresh off the farm" Geyser under his wing. Julia Duffy is the schoolmarm who loves Keach. The ham-handed dialogue is a guilty pleasure ("What's wrong with this land that produces such a bitter fruit?" asks the embittered Geyser). The meticulously mounted battle scenes, though, are a Civil War reenactor's dream. The more you know about the Civil War, the more you'll appreciate

Surgical Reminiscences of the Civil War by W.W. Keen, M.D. Professor of Surgery, Jefferson Medical College Read April 5, 1905 I had the honor of being sworn into the service of the United States as an assistant surgeon in the shadow of the Capitol on July 4, 1861, though I had only begun the study of medicine in September, 1860, and did not graduate until March, 1862. It came about in this wise: My preceptor, Dr. John H. Brinton, had received a telegram from a former student (let us call him Smith) who had graduated in March, 1861, and was assistant surgeon of the Fifth Massachusetts, saying that he was going to leave the regiment and asking that Dr. Brinton should immediately send some one in his place, if possible. Dr. Brinton very kindly offered the place to me. I said to him, with very becoming modesty, that I hardly felt I knew enough; to which he replied, with combined frankness and flattery, by saying: "It is perfectly true that you know very little, but, on the other hand, you know a good deal more than Smith." Accordingly I entered the army and immediately went into camp in Alexandria.

Military Antiques Article from Military History Magazine Longstreet and Lee: Generals At Odds At Gettysburg, Longstreet told Lee that a direct assault would end in disaster but Pickett's Charge went forward anyway. By Jeffry D. Wert History has come to many obscure places, has stayed awhile and, after its departure, has rendered those places famous. In America's saga, perhaps no out-of-the-way place has taken on greater historic importance than the southern Pennsylvania village of Gettysburg. There, during three summer days, July 1-3, 1863, the nation's fate may have been decided. When the battle was over, General Robert E. Lee's Confederate Army of Northern Virginia began the retreat to Virginia, defeated by Major General George G. Meade's Union Army of the Potomac. "Gettysburg" would forever hold a place in the minds of all Americans. Since those unforgettable three days of battle, controversy has stalked nearly every facet of Gettysburg. In the postwar years, Southerners came to regard the battle as the great "if" of Confederate history. Southern independence had beckoned on the farmers' fields and wooded knolls for three days, then, like an alluring siren, had disappeared. To Southerners, the fault lay not with the great chieftain, Lee, but with his most trusted and senior lieutenant, James Longstreet. Of all Gettysburg's controversies, none has so shaped history's interpretation of the battle as has the Lee-Longstreet dispute.

Woodson Other Displays Army Army Air Force Assault on Fort Wagner Civil War Soldiers ... For Further Reading I NTRODUCTION This exhibit is not about war. It is about the zealous account of African Americans standing up and being counted as defenders of LIBERTY. This LIBERTY encompasses a vision of basic human rights connected with justice as accorded to all other peoples seeking freedom both inside and outside the territorial bounds of America. American history, at its best, is filled with records of the early colonial settlers searching for a place where the principles of freedom could be expressed and practiced. We are all familiar with the many written proposals, oral discourses, and constitutional provisions which evolved from their democratic ideas. The vibrancy of their words were later put into resolutions which were incorporated into our U. S. Constitution. The early settlers of America spent arduous hours creating a national document which would hopefully spell out the basic ingredients necessary to sustain a unified democracy within this land. From the beginning, these pioneers wanted to establish a worthy place free of restrictions which would not subvert or obstruct the basic foundations of a viable democratic society. Educational, political, social, and religious freedoms were some of the known necessities for the real American way of life in this new country.
