1. Could You Have Won the Battle of Gettysburg? This simulation of the battle is a test to pit your decisions as Robert E. Lee against what actually happened.

2. Ancestry.com has made available online more than 90 million U.S. war records from the first English settlement at Jamestown in 1607 through the Vietnam War's end in 1975. The records, which can be accessed free until the anniversary of D-Day on June 6, came from the National Archives and Records Administration and include 37 million images, draft registration cards from both world wars, military yearbooks, prisoner-of-war records from four wars, unit rosters from the Marine Corps from 1893 through 1958, and Civil War pension records, among others.
