The funnest part are <a href="http://www.shermansmarch.org/march.html">the interactive maps</a>. Clicking on the yellow-highlighted pins opens up a video exploring the significance of that spot on the map. Each map represents a different genre of memories of the march (civilian, soldiers, fiction, etc). My favorite is the narrative of the events in Milledgeville, Georgia on the Soldiers Map, featuring plastic toy soldiers and burning cardboard buildings. tag:metafilter.com,2010:site.98791 Tue, 21 Dec 2010 10:34:01 -0800 americancivilwar civilwar shermansmarch toysoldiers williamtecumsehsherman marxchivist
