Digital Poetry Archive.

After exploring The First World War Poetry Digital Archive for about twenty minutes, scanning over letters and poems, I decided that I found the audio interviews the most interesting. On that what I found the most interesting was an interview with R. Thorpe-Tracey. In the interview he talks about how the civilians at home really had no clue what was going on during the war in France. Knowing that so many people were unaware of the extremes at which the war was being fought is quite frightening. The Digital Poetry Archive is a very interesting website full of some useful primary sources!

The Great White Fleet Research Post #2!

I chose which pictures I would use to create my six postcards.  I also did some research on each of the places I chose to find some interesting facts to "share with my folks back home"! Below are the links to the websites I used!

The Great White Fleet Research!

    So far I have come across some great sources in my search for information about The Great White Fleet. I really like the second link because it has and interesting map, and a lot of unique information and pictures. 
     Something interesting that I have seen a lot in my research so far is that they substituted two of the boats after their time with the fleet. 
    I hope to come across more interesting facts in the rest of my studies!
