[] I would use this site to research local historical archives and research local individuals that served in the war or at the camp.

[] I would have my students use this site to start to understand where the camp is and what purpose the camp served.

[] I would use this site to start my research project with my students. They can use the links to research how the camp was used and what impact the camp had on the Union effort during the Civil War.

[] This picture shows the camp in a different view than the other pictures. This could be compared with other pictures to look for similarities or difference. My students could also compare/contrast the region now versus back then.
