At the end of Week 5, I set myself to the grand task of compiling what battles the cadets fought at and where they were together. I did this using the information I compiled from Cullum’s Register (I honestly cannot say how much I love George Cullum, he is a godsend).
So I made a board.
And then I made a map.
The Army Markers are for Graduation and Training/Defense of DC
The Green Markers are the battles of the Manassas Campaign
The Pink Markers are for battles in the Southern Theater that were not a part of the Atlanta Campaign.
The Blue Markers are for battles in the Western Theater
The Yellow Markers are for the battles of the Peninsula Campaign
The Light Blue Markers are for the battles of the Maryland Campign
The White Markers are for the battles of the Rappahanock Campaign
The Red Markers are for the battles of the Pennsylvania Campaign
The Green Tree Markers are for the battles in Virginia 1864 and onward
The Red Flame Markers are for the battles of Sherman’s Atlanta and Carolinas Campaigns
And the White Flag Marker is for the battles around Appomattox.
There are 74 battle locations that I included in the map, not counting skirmishes or the arsenals that they were also posted at. I got the places and dates that I wanted compiled but I’m not sure if Tour Builder is for me because the presentation style is a bit of a mess, especially with this many markers.
