Greensburg, Pennsylvania 1901

This primary source is an aerial map of Greensburg in 1901. The map is drawn by

hand. It shows all of the roads, buildings, open land, etc. in Greensburg in 1901. The map

has a key at the bottom that shows the major locations in Greensburg at the time.
I would use this source to show the change in Greensburg between 1901 and

today. I would provide my students with a copy of this map and a copy of a current map

from the same perspective. My students could so how much has changed and what has

stayed the same between for over one hundred years.

2. Washington at Valley Forge

This primary source is a famous drawing of George Washington riding his horse

through Valley Forge. The soldiers are standing at attention and waiting to hear

Washingtons next command. There is snow on the ground and the few soldiers that are

left are freezing.

I would use this drawing in my lesson to show the conditions that the soldiers

lived in at Valley Forge. They were freezing and did not have adequate clothes to wear
 for the weather. Many soldiers left George Washington and that can be seen in the picture

also. This is a good source to show some of the troubles that the soldiers went through in

their fight for freedom.

3. The Liberty Bell

This is a picture from 1935 of the Liberty Bell. The picture is in black and white

and has a good angle of most of the Liberty Bell. There is a lot of history behind the

Liberty Bell that students should learn about in school.

I would use this picture to teach about the history of the Liberty Bell. This could

tie into other historic events that happened in Philadelphia, but the focus of the lesson

would be the Liberty Bell and everything it stands for. Unfortunately, my students live

too far away from Philadelphia to take a field trip to see the Liberty Bell. This picture,

along with others, could help to substitute an actual visit to Philadelphia.
