An interactive map that plots significant places and actions during the American Revolution.
The map is an ongoing project to encapsulate interrelated sites, commanders, military units, troop movements, weather conditions, and source documentation into one coherent user interface.
Sites include forts, batteries, courthouses, hospitals, churches, schools, plantations, grist mills, iron furnaces, forges, fords, ferries, bridges, inns, ordinaries, taverns, landmarks, camps, battles, skirmishes, sieges, cemeteries, and graves.
Each site is plotted only if it existed during the specified time period.
Troop movements can be plotted on a daily basis.
The map is particularly effective in showing simultaneous historical events that were widely separated.
