Following Lee to Gettysburg : a driving tour of General Robert E. Lee's path to Gettysburg

Abstract

This project is a website guided driving tour of the Confederates' route to Gettysburg. It is one example of many possibilities that can be used to interpret history in a new way. The website has a page for each town the Confederates marched through. Each page consists of a timeline, maps, and events that occurred during the Confederate occupation. There are examples of how different groups of visitors can use the website. The groups are a family with children, empty nesters, and senior citizens. The website is valuable in that it provides history to people with the technology they already use. It also contains information about the Campaign that is often overlooked in the story of Gettysburg.
