we have lots of Civil War sites here in Georgia that would be fun to

Hi
Anyone interested in mapping civil war sites, maybe with a mapping

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

historical sites. If we can bring our resources to bear (I'm
