Hi Glenn:
Saw the post and must thank you so very much for your kind words!

I am very happy to be a resource for anyone regarding details on Sam and his times. I have worked with a number of secondary-level educators who have utilized Soldier’s Mail as a dynamic primary resource when studying the early 20th Century and the First World War in American History.

I respond to all comments posted on the site, and I can also be reached by email at soldiersmail@comcast.net.

Stay tuned for the book!

Best Regards,
Rich Landers

Yes they are. I’m fortunate to be the custodian for the collection. As a former 9-12 History teacher I felt the obligation to bring them to light but never expected the response the site has received.

Ron,

Very cool! I have not seen this. Thanks! I’m doing some Google Earth / Maps work with teachers next Monday. This is perfect timing! I’ve bookmarked it and will post a review soon.

Thanks again!

Glen,

Have you seen this site? The theme is any history project teachers or students want to post. Topics include historical events, explorers, histories of the communities the students are from, famous heroes and courageous people, and more. The site requirements are to use a Google tool and theme must be “history.” There are schools from Australia, Singapore, United States, Canada. Age of students submitting projects span Grade 2 through high school. The page on the history of the students’ communities is interesting. There’s a project by a high school student who is the youngest historian in NYS. No fee to join; no ads; just posting teacher and student projects. And, lately links to non-profit, educational sites the students can use. One site has primary sources for the US Constitution.
