This guide from the Amon Carter Museum offers over 700 images from the Cowboy Photographer: Erwin E. Smith.  The guide also offers discussion about the photographer,  a look at gear, work , clothing and a timeline of the history of the west according to his photos.   There are several other resources as well that you will want to check out at here.

10031 Who hasn’t played a memory game one time or another. Here is one with a bit of a different twist. You get to look at the books and their location, then they’re hidden and you have to find them as patrons request each subject.

Two Cycle Engine Laura Weldon recently sent me a link to Animated Engines. The site was first created in 2000 and offers a variety of engine animations. That is interesting enough, but then the creator also shares HOW the animations were created in the about section of the site.

If you happen to know of similar sites, please leave a comment or drop me a line.

about_allanstandsalesroom I love to scour second hand shops when I need a new piece of furniture. This week-end I found a lovely end table and when I was cleaning it at home, I was happy to learn it was crafted by a company in North Carolina. What does this have to do with a blog post here at the HEM Homeschooling Resources blog? This afternoon I happened upon a really interesting site, Craft Revival: Shaping Western North Carolina Past and Present that explains in part why I was so delighted to find a North Carolina made product.
