\nUsing free tools from Google Maps, we have launched a dynamic new map of Pennsylvania\u2019s hallowed grounds that attempts to chart the burial locations of black soldiers from Pennsylvania who fought in the Civil War.\u00a0 In particular, this map-in-progress highlights\u00a0 cemeteries that hold the remains of the 100 Voices, or representative figures being memorialized by the 2010 PA Grand Review initiative.\u00a0 For example, three members of the\u00a0 100 Voices are buried at Midland Cemetery<\/a> in Steelton, Pennsylvania —Lemuel Butler<\/a>, Andrew Hill<\/a> and Charles Henderson<\/a>.\u00a0 Visitors to the dynamic online map will find photographs and exact GPS coordinates of their headstones (courtesy of Calobe Jackson, Jr.) as well as background information on these men. Each online cemetery marker also includes information such as photographs or videos (where available) of the cemetery and whatever additional background information might be contained within Dickinson College\u2019s House Divided research engine<\/a> or at the Pennsylvania Grand Review website<\/a>. \u00a0 This particular Hallowed Grounds map is\u00a0 ongoing project that needs your help.\u00a0 Please feel free to contribute photos, videos, GPS coordinates (obtainable through smart phones or GPU handsets) by sending them to us at hdivided@dickinson.edu. \u00a0 Other Civil War Era-related dynamic maps, such as one concerning the Underground Railroad in Pennsylvania or Frederick Douglass’s childhood in Baltimore, have been posted here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
