Please excuse the cross-posting. We are developing an exhibit on children and the Civil War. I need sources for reproduction Civil War era toys and games. I am also looking for suggestions of secondary sources on Civil War era toys and games. I have found a few things, but not as much as I had hoped. Thanks.

The tradition of all the dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brain of the living." Karl Marx, The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte "History does not refer merely, or even principally, to the past. On the contrary, the great force of history comes from the fact that we carry it within us, are unconsciously controlled by it in many ways, and history is literally present in all that we do."
