Gettysburg Concordance 5.02

The Gettysburg Concordance serves as a detailed and interactive digital reference for one of the most significant battles in American history. It provides a comprehensive overview of the campaign from June 3 to July 14, 1863, including the pivotal moments of the Battle of Gettysburg and the ensuing retreat.

This resource meticulously documents over 1,000 events sourced from more than 150 primary and secondary materials. It includes an extensive order of battle that features profiles of over 1,300 individuals who held command roles during the conflict. Enhancing its educational value, the app boasts a visual database with more than 700 images, comprising photographs and sketches from both the historical period and present-day interpretations of the battlefield. Each event is geo-referenced, allowing users to navigate the campaign area or analyze the events from home.

Users can follow notable figures such as Joshua L. Chamberlain, Robert E. Lee, and John F. Reynolds, examining their orders and correspondence while viewing accompanying images related to their engagements.

The data presentation is user-friendly, utilizing scalable maps that enable seamless zooming and easy-to-navigate tables. Searching for specific events is efficient, allowing users to filter by date ranges, military units (over 800), individuals, or any combination thereof.

Despite the extensive data integrated within the Gettysburg Concordance, it remains fast and accessible, appealing to amateur historians, re-enactors, educators, researchers, and tourists alike. It also offers GPS functionality for those wishing to explore the battlefield while seeing their real-time position relative to significant historical events.
