Maps and Pictures for History Teachers

 

I retired from teaching in 2008, but I have hundreds of old pictures and maps, scanned from old history and geography books. If you can use any of these, feel free. These materials on World War I come from various sources:

I don't think we should ever allow students to imagine that war is glamorous.

Badly disfigured doughboy.

Guy Empey, an American who served with the British army said there was
one good result of gas attacks. The rats in the trenches were all killed.

Would students grasp the danger to the crew from the location of the gas tank?

Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker.

American troops greeted in France as heroes.

Sgt. York said he never told his mother about his heroics.
He was not proud of having killed other men.

An unrealistic view of trench warfare from an American school book published in 1920.

I took all of these maps and comparisons from a geography book published in 1913, World Geography, Part II, by Tarr and McMurray. 

I scanned all of these pictures from old Harper’s Monthly magazines, if you can use any of them. They’re from 1886 and before, if you can use any.
