ArchiveGrid

ArchiveGrid provided a concise overview of Sitting Bull's life and even included a general idea of what he valued (opposing white encroachment, refusing to abandon the traditions of the ritual Ghost Dance). The way they worded the description made him seem tenacious. For such a short introduction, they gave a thorough insight into the life of Sitting Bull.

For my second search, I typed in "Willa Cather". I received 208 results, among them were personal letters, notes in manuscripts, poems, novels, and manuscripts about Willa Cather. The collections were mostly owned by the University of Virginia, Nebraska State Historical society, and Columbia Univerity Libraries. The all had a description of the collection and contact number for the owning institution.

  1. Hi, Learning, if you have history buffs (I almost typed "bugs," which may also fit!)among your patrons, they may find this resource useful. They may even plan trips around where they can view these resources! Thanks for your good comments.
