Ohio in the Civil War Through Primary Sources compact disk

Virtually all Ohioans were touched by the American Civil War in 1861 - 1864. With more than 3000,000 soldiers enlisted, Ohio was surpassed on by the state of New York in the number of soldiers participating, and by the number of homes disrupted by the difficulties of war. Here, some of their stories are told about the challenges young soldiers faced, and the hardship of changing roles at home face by the women left behind.

This compact disk brings the Civil Was to the user by presenting 78 authentic documents, images, letters, diary entries, music, and news articles drawn from the vast Civil War collection of the Ohio Historical Society Archives/Library. These have been digitally scanned and are printable so one can view the images in either an electronic or printed format. Many of the written documents are available with printable transcripts.

Additionally, each document is accompanied with optional lesson plans and activities to bring each document to life for the learner - whether a student or a Civil War enthusiast.
