| With the help of some items in the trunk loaned to us by the American Independence Museum in New Hampshire, today we will analyze some artifacts from the 18th century. Students will observe British and Continental coins and bills, along with pieces of eight, a powder horn, a wooden canteen, a gorget, some old-style spectacles, and even Thomas Jefferson's rough draft of the Declaration of Independence. |
Also from the trunk is a collection of period clothing for us to consider, must most important is our observation and interpretation of the objects before us.
