PROJECT DESCRIPTION

**UPDATE 5/16 !!**
Maybe I did not emphasize the brief script part enough, so I thought I would remind you that, while you have that info collected, you will have to have some way to string it all together and get the impact with the audience we are looking for. One thought might be something as brief as : Revolutionary War, fought 1775-1783 ,22,500 killed in action, 63,00 killed from disease,6,00 civilians killed. Our victory resulted in the formation of the thirteen colonies and their Declaration of Independence. Then connect to monument, and do the monument stuff.

[|War Letters] from PBS [|Letters from Gettysburg] [|Battle Lines] - Letters from America's troops [|War Letters]- from a commercial site put together for archivists and geneologist. Interesting database [|Digital Past] - a local source from North Suburban Libraries. Just enter search terms,i.e." letters from soldiers" [|American Battle Monuments Commission] - An organization that manages and maintains battle monuments of the 20th century wars, many fought overseas [|National Archives]- Very cool site. Letters and photos might be here. I dare you to take the challenge!
