1st Division, 14th Corps

So, this week I finished the regimental pages for Baird's 1st Division, 14th Corps. Looks like it will take about a week per division. I also wrote and put up the Methodology page so people can see the work behind the numbers.

I'm kinda sick of spreadsheets and html. I think I'll work on maps this week. I think I'll finish and put up the maps for the beginning of the battle near Jay's Mill, up until Cheatham's Division enters the fight around 12:30.

Pickett's Mill

I'm working hard on the Chickamauga Order of Battle. I almost have the Union Army in a format where I can start importing Excel sheets and start making web pages. Last weekend I took a break from the computer and went out to the Pickett's Mill park for a day of ranger tours and picture taking. It was a great trip! Hours of walking through the park, and a ranger led tour that led us off the trails and walking through the woods. Usually a big no-no! Many thanks to the interpretive ranger, James Wooten, for the tour and letting me ask questions and talk his ear off later!

I've put up two pictures on the main Pickett's Mill page of the view Hazen's men had looking up at Granbury's position at the top of the ravine, and a reverse one from Granbury's position.

Back to crunching numbers!

Order of battle

I've decided to work on Chickamauga next. It will be the big centerpiece of the site. I'm putting up the Order of Battle pages first, since many people can use the information in their research, and also for wargaming.

Last weekend I put up the casualty pages for the Union and Confederate armies. This week I finished organizational charts and explanations for the confusing structure of the Confederate Army of Tennessee.

Next week I'll work on the Union campaign pages.

Allatoona finished!

I'm finished with the Allatoona Pass section!

Now I have to decide to work on Pickett's Mill, to get more content, or Chickamauga, to get the big battle on the site and more visitors.

Union Order of Battle

Finished the Union order of battle this week. Took a little longer as I worked on a regimental template page. Now that I have everything the way I want it the Confederate pages will be easier.

After that I'm going to make a quick map of all the modern changes to the battlefield, including the forest cover, and add some satellite photos. I should be done after that. Then I'll move on to Pickett's Mill.

Photos are finished

I finished resizing and organizing the photos. I created all the photo pages, and have uploaded them. The photo and video sections are done.

I also worked on and finished the bibliography page for Allatoona Pass.

Now all I have to do is finish up the Order of Battle page. I'll get to the Wargaming Allatoona Pass section at a later date.

Almost done!

Photos

Today I created the main pages for the modern photos. I made the maps showing the camera positions, and broke them down into sections. The sections are now up live. Next week I will begin resizing the photos, and making the pages for them.

Once that is over the Allatoona Pass site is almost done. I'll just have to upload the Order of Battle and create the Bibliography. The Order of Battle may take a bit of work, since each regiment will have its own page, but once I get the template down its should be easy. I just have to get permission from various websites to use pictures of battle flags and commanding officers if they are not in the public domain.
