1st Day Finished

A big milestone today! I have finished and uploaded all of the map and picture files for the first day of the battle! September 19th is done!

19th Maps Done

I just finished the last of the maps for the 19th! Now I have to do the html and get them up.

Finishing the 19th

I've decided to go ahead and finish the maps and pictures for the 19th. Get the whole day done. I'm almost finished with the maps themselves. Then I'll put them up on the site. After that I'll work on the pictures for the Then and Now section. That may be easier to just do that whole section, since there is no point in dividing the pictures between the two days of battle.

After all that is done I'll probably finish and put up the Confederate order of battle for the 19th.

Brigade Overviews

I decided to add some larger images of the whole battlefield showing the positions of the brigades. I think it really shows how the battle flowed. This will be especially useful on the maps of September 19th. Just creating them I have a better feel of how the battle actually unfolded.

Maps up

I've finished uploading the maps of the early fight near Jay's Mill. I've also completed the main Chickamauga page, as well as the Campaign, Sept. 18th, and Sept 19th pages. You can now navigate to the maps normally.

Next, I will get the Then and Now sections started, and get pictures and video of the Jay's Mill area on the site. Afterwards I may work on the Order of Battle pages again.

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!
