Field notes
The reconstruction starts with unit histories in Dyer’s 1908 compendium, where entries may record a battle, a march, or a stretch of garrison duty rather than a continuous route. The project says it identified 26,303 distinct event phrases; repeated place names such as “Franklin” were split into date-specific episodes. It also reports reviewing 534 locations after flagging jumps that appeared unusually large.
