truly. i've spent a lot of time immersed in Antietam and the
Maryland<br>
Campaign of 1862 and would love to figure out a way to convey some<br>
of that.<br>

There are scads of sites scattered throughout the Mid-Atlantic
area and, as you can see, a number of us with both interest and
experience with mapping historical sites. If we can bring our
resources to bear (I'm thinking MappingDC...) I think it could be
a really awesome project.<br>

i've done some mapping of the Antietam
Battlefield Park,<br>
and would love to do more.<br>
<br>
how do you (SteveC) envision this? there are
numerous things that can be<br>
mapped, but some would seem pretty unreasonable
to attempt in OSM<br>
as it is now (e.g., showing all the unit
locations during the day at Antietam<br>
as they appear on the 1908 Cope maps).

<div>I would definitely be interested. We had
a mapping party at Manassas Battlefield last
June, but there are so many other
battlefields within an easy drive of WashDC
that need greater visibility on the map. And
now that the weather is moderating, it would
be a great time to do some historical
mapping.<br>

Anyone interested in mapping civil war
sites, maybe with a mapping party? I
mention because the anniversaries are
all coming up.<br>
