The blog-site entitled "Draw the Sword" is a site devoted to the monuments of the Gettysburg battlefield. It has a page devoted to answering FAQ's on monuments, a page to provide an introductions to monuments in general, and, of course, many pages of pictures of almost each individual monument at gettysburg. You can search the monuments by brigades/armies, corps, commanding officers, and Monument type. I'm not going to lie, the name of the Blog was far more interesting to me than the actual site was, however the project that is being undergone by this site is good for digital history, like what we were talking about on tuesday. - AJ | The blog-site entitled "Draw the Sword" is a site devoted to the monuments of the Gettysburg battlefield.

| + | The first blog that I read was the Army of Tennessee by Lee White http://bullyforbragg.blogspot.com. This blog had a few post about Civil War battlefield land preservation, a book review and information on Civil War anniversaries that will be going this year. My question is way it the war in the West forgotten in Civil War memory? It seems odd that the area were the North won almost every single battle is not talked about and does not even get credit for winning the war. I don’t think that it is talked about much in class.

| + | The second blog I read was Civil War Navy by Andrew Duppstadt. Most of his posts are about events that are going on in North Carolina which is where he works and lives. Most of the places that he talks about are the coastal forts that there. He also talks about African American reenacting units and history about them. I fell that the coastal war and the war at sea other parts of the war that are forgotten in the memory of the war. I find this interesting because like the war in the West this is area where the North won most of the battles and played a huge role in winning the war. Why is the war at sea forgotten in Civil War memory? Logan T | ||
