  mentoring_philosophy: 'The ideal research assistant is able to take broad direction and work independently. During the semester, research assistants will meet with Piehler in-person weekly and virtually with Barnes bi-weekly. Both will offer guidance of how to conduct primary source research and oversee their research.  These meeting will also offer assistants insights of how historians make sense of a range of primary sources to write history. As a mentor, Piehler envisions a research assistantship as laying the groundwork for future internship and  graduate school and/or employment.  Piehler’s past research assistants have gone on to secure internships at the Smithsonian Institution, the Grove Museum, and the Florida state government. As an active-duty air force officer, Barnes brings to his scholarship the insights gained from serving in a war zone and engaging in ground combat. He can offer guidance to career paths in the U.S. Air Force, especially related to intelligence.'

Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia during his invasion of Maryland that culminated in the Battle of Antietam. Barnes seeks to draw on photographic evidence supplemented by documentary sources (letters, diaries, memoirs, newspaper accounts) to assess whether Confederate soldiers went into the battle in 1762  ill fed, poorly clothed, and lacking boots.
