Little article on TV, something about National Archivers & Records Admin. to removal ALL Civil War related maps from the internet!
 
This Library of Congress web site just came on line. It is a great collection of civil war maps that should make it convienent to CW buffs!

Found it in the St. Louis Post Democrat totay.
 
After I read your post I heard a CNN story saying they were going to POST all of the maps on the internet and that some of them were already up. Wonder which it is? I know what I'm hoping for.
 
unless the Web news I read today was dead wrong - 2240 maps will become available... and some are online right now.
 
i guess things change. when i was stationed in the south all battlefields were defintely off limits to metal detectors and even the immediate surrrounding areas were protected. i think i remember a few years back that somewhere in virgina developers wanted to take a portion of a battlefield and make a shopping center on the ground. the community was divided and i think they were trying to settle it with a referendum or a court case. that was the last that i had heard about it. i wonder who won?
 
News did full story today. I shall forever be shamed for opening and inserting foot. <img src="/metal/html/cry.gif" border=0 width=40 height=15 alt=":cry">
 
large corp.'s have lots of $$$$. When you see such deals going on - see if you can hunt the grounds before the bulldozing and during the bulldozing, but after the sale to the building corp.
all battlefields are still definitely off limits to metal detectors. The magic word is 'National Historic' - you can't even enter these places with a operational MD'er in your trunk (batteries loaded).
Research well and make sure you have permission before hunting any civil war site. That includes surrounding areas.
