Welcome to the VMI Archives. An Online Historical Research Center - 1 views

  •  
    I linked up the Virginia Military Institutes archive home page because it provides easy access to primary resources. Not only that, but they have a page dedicated to the real life subject of a Young Adult Historical Fiction Novel called The Ghost Cadet (which I have read and enjoyed.) You can find this page by clicking on the side bar "Civil War & New Market" and it's about the second or third option down. I think that in teaching a young audience about the Civil War, it could be useful to connect it back to a book about a boy nearly their age who fought in it. This web site could help wiht that.

      Clearly, as it says here, the book is a work of fiction, which is why a web site like this, if one ever used the book to teach the Civil War, woould be incredibly uselful to supplementing the novel with factual information.

    This is just the actual page that I was referring to in my previous post in case anyone is interested.
