Riding the Rails
PBS Online.
Supplementing a 1998 PBS American Experience documentary, this site provides 11 reminiscences of between 150 and 1,700 words each from people who as teenagers during the Great Depression had illegally hopped freight trains and, along with an estimated quarter million other Americans teens, led lives on the road. The film itself—a transcription of which is provided enhanced with explanatory annotations—relates the stories of 10 such “hoboes” and provides historical context for their experiences. The site offers essays of approximately 800 words each on the African-American experience of “riding the rails” and on railroad songs. Also includes audio files for four songs, two maps, 25 photographs, a 16-title bibliography, and a teacher’s guide for using the film in the classroom. Although the site offers only a modest amount of material, through its focus on personal stories of teenagers, it can serve as a useful way to introduce students to Depression-era social history.

Without Sanctuary: Photographs and Postcards of Lynching in America
James Allen, Collector.
See JAH web review by David Phillips.
Reviewed 2001-06-01.
James Allen has assembled a collection of chilling photographs and postcards taken at lynchings throughout America, primarily from the late 19th and early 20th century. His collection has also been published in a book entitled Without Sanctuary, and this website is a companion to the book and to a former exhibition at the New York Historical Society. The online exhibit can be experienced through a flash movie, with narrative comments by James Allen, or as a gallery of approximately 100 photographs with 5–10-word captions. Most images also have links to more extensive, 150-word descriptions of the circumstances behind that particular situation. While the vast majority of lynching victims were members of minorities—African Americans, Hispanics, Italians, Chinese, and Native Americans—non-ethnic whites are depicted in a few of these images. Important note: These images are very disturbing and may not be appropriate for younger students. This would, however, be an excellent resource for college-level survey course research and teaching about racism in the late-19th and 20th century.

Monroe in History
Monroe County Community College.
Founded in 1785 on the shores of Lake Erie 35 miles south of Detroit, Monroe, Michigan, is Michigan’s third oldest community and home to more than 20,000 residents today. This website, devoted to preserving the history of this city, presents a collection of 105 Civil War-era letters, more than 200 photographs dating from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and 12 newspaper articles from three Monroe local papers. The letters were written by 12 soldiers from Monroe, who described their service in the Union Army during the Civil War, and expressed nostalgia for Monroe. The photographs cover a range of subjects, including agricultural activities in and around Monroe, bridges, commercial buildings, houses, schools, streets, transportation-related activities, civic clubs and prominent community members, and several images of the city’s statue of General George Custer, erected in 1910. All images are scanned in high-quality, though none are transcribed. This website is useful for historians, as well as teachers interested in giving a personal view of the Civil War, or those interested in local history more generally.
