Lesson 6 - OAIster

I tried out the OAIster database and selected "Barker the Black Hills Hermit at His Cave." The picture shows a lonely man standing in front of the cave that he lived in. The information stated that after his true love died, he decided to live entirely alone. I also checked out a picture from 1923 of "Cattle on a Western Farm." The description was "Cows Posing for the Camera." My husband (a rancher) saw the picture on the computer screen and asked me whose cattle I was looking at! I think senior citizens would really enjoy browsing through this database--I know my dad would have loved looking through something like this.
