Here is a link to a preview page of an animated map of the 3rd day of the Battle of Gettysburg. The preview now runs up to 3pm, IOW right up to the beginning of Pickett's charge but not including it.

Click 'Start' to begin, then scroll around in the map to find the action you're looking for. By default it starts at 430am, but you can also choose to start at 9am or noon. It's a big map so it's easy to miss the action unless you know what you're looking for at different times of day. Or, resize your browser.

See my previous post here for some background. There are also video demos available at my main page, here.

The main effort here is to approximate, at a brigade level, where everybody was at different times and what paths they followed. Note the word 'approximate'. My best guess! I'll send my current brigades timeline in a separate post.

Of course, please let me know if you have comments or criticisms.
