The LOC.GOV Wise Guide : Become a Supreme Scavenger!

If you play the Scavenger Hunt game in the ?Amazing Americans? section of the America?s Library Web site, you can get a certificate with your name on it certifying you as a Supreme Scavenger.

America?s Library is a Web site for kids and families that tells more than 3,000 stories of American history in a fun and educational way. Kids of all ages will enjoy learning about the nation?s past as they read about ?Amazing Americans,? ?Jump Back in Time,? ?Explore the States,? ?Join America at Play? and ?See, Hear and Sing.?

The U.S. presidents are well represented in the Library?s American Memory Web site. For example, the personal papers of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln are online. Portraits of the presidents and first ladies are in ?By Popular Demand.?

?Theodore Roosevelt: His Life and Times on Film? features the first U.S. president to have his career and life chronicled on a large scale by motion picture companies (even though his predecessors, Grover Cleveland and William McKinley, were the first to be filmed). And the time preceding the assassination of the 25th commander in chief is recorded in The Last Days of a President: Films of McKinley and the Pan-American Exposition, 1901.
