Weekend trips

When you're thinking about where to go this summer- you can tie history in with day trips touring parts of the south pictured in Barnard's Photographic Views of the Sherman Campaign, ca. 1866 : Photographic Views of Sherman's Campaign, Embracing Scenes of the Occupation of Nashville, the Great Battles around Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain, the Campaign of Atlanta, March to the Sea, and the Great Raid through the Carolinas.

The first pictures are of Kennesaw! "Compare and contrast" is a skill used in life (and emphasized in academic circles). Can you find the same location where George N. Barnard stood to take his pictures? What does the scene look like now? Take your own pictures and compare the changes.
