My five favorite interactive battlefield panoramas
The countdown begins: Later this month, I will travel south for my annual Civil War Power Tour. Stops at Manassas, Antietam, Gettysburg and elsewhere -- I sort of make it up as I go -- will refuel the Civil War tanks for several weeks and provide plenty of storytelling fodder for this blog. I am eager to add to my collection of interactive battlefield photos. In the meantime, here are my top five:

I enjoy your blog. My ancestors arrived in the 1880's and 1920's, so I never had any interesting tales to tell. Until I ordered my husbands great grandfather's Civil War information. He was carrying a shell box from Virginia to Pennsylvania on 1 July 1863, and developed a hernia, and was sent to Harewood Hospital in DC, and missed the battle.
ReplyDeleteI told my husband he owed his existence to a hernia.
Do you have plans for the Virginia Peninsula?
