The stone observatory on the Bloody lane is now finished and ready for visitors. The view from this point alone is worth a visit to the famous Bloody lane as you can take in the entire right to the left nearly four miles. There will be, when all planted, nearly four hundred markers, giving one a good idea of the entire battle field with the advantage of the good roads. Every body ought to visit it and make a study of this great battle.
Virtual Antietam Panoramas

Well, the upgrade is going well. It will still be a few weeks before I get the URL switched over, so between now and then I will just be working away. The technical difficulty I am hitting now is getting the panoramas into a format that will play well on current browsers and within Drupal. I am probably going to be using Flash for Drupal and HTML5 for mobile apps. It is amazing how far HTML has come. It was an old, sorry language there for a while, but now it seems to be where the action is.
About
Hello. I'm Stephen Recker and welcome to my blog. In it I will be discussing the different projects I am working on related to the American Civil War with a focus on photography related to the battle of Antietam. I am particularly interested in how the battlefield has been interpreted throughout the years. I will be discussing how it was done then and how new technologies can be brought to bear to bring life to those old materials as well as new ones. See the 99 Places Every Antietam Battlefield Guide Should Know.
