Thanks Tom, it will be a good start to this project. Certainly realizing  
that exact times cannot be realized, I think a timeline overlay for this 3 hours  
of fighting on July 2nd can still be beneficial. Ian Duncanson

Sure,  I'll try to do that .. right now they are handwritten in a notebook, 
probably  100 pages or so .. I just make note of item along with date and/or 
approx time  during my reading, have pages in my little looseleaf notebook 
according to the  pattern I mentioned before .. I also, of course note the 
reference(s) of my  information .. tom g

Tom, any chance of sharing your Gettysburg  Campaign Timelines with the 
group? Ian Duncanson

Timelines (while I  recognize they must be taken with a grain of salt) help 
give me a better  handle on things, especially on the afternoons of July 1 
and 
2 .. I have  set up for my own reference a sort of timeline for the campaign 
which, on  June 3, starts with "days" and as July draws near, evolves into 
"hours"  and sometimes even smaller units, then after July 3 gradually 
expands to  
longer intervals again .. I have added to my "timeline" some related items  
long before and after the campaign and sometimes they are years apart ..  to 
me 
maps and timelines, while tentative, are essential to understanding  (also 
tentative of course!) .. tom gilbert
