A World War One-style footlocker, like the one Captain Harry S.
Truman took to France with Artillery Battery D in 1918. It is filled with
learning tools -- a scrapbook, pictures, newspapers, artifacts, clothing,
photographs, political cartoons, memorabilia, and replicas. Each item
represents a story about an aspect of Harry Truman's remarkable life.
A Teaching Guide that turns the footlocker into an entire curriculum,
bringing to life the Truman legacy. The Teaching Guide takes history out
of the textbooks and creates an innovative and interactive classroom experience
for teachers and students.
The
Truman Footlocker is available for purchase from the Truman Library Institute.
