I have one more final exam before I am officially a senior! This also means that I now have less than a year before I have to turn in a 90-page history thesis.

Yay. First step is to pick a topic and find sources. I’m interested in studying llinois Civil War history but will have to see what sources I can track down first. :-)

I’ve ordered some books from the library, so they should be waiting for me when I get home from school in a few days. I also have a few leads on some newspaper and letter collections that could be useful.

Here goes.
