The Project

Here's just a little overview of what's going on.

Course Project Proposal:

For my course project, I propose to look at how Western towns in the Sierra Nevada (towns that were around during the Civil War) remember the war. I want to look at one or two towns and examine through multiple resources, the following questions:
• How did the war affect the history of the town up to the present?
• Is there a lasting impression from the war that reached the west or is it forgotten?
• Did the war affect any cultural aspects of the town?
• If it is remembered, who remembers it and how do they remember it? How do they preserve the memory?
