in Battlefield Interpretation, Public History

Just out of curiosity, but can anyone identify the person[s] responsible for the Save the Electric Map of Gettysburg site?  They recently moved to a WordPress site.  The latter site includes some commentary on the controversy surrounding both the movie and the decision to charge an entrance fee.

"In this stunning and well-researched book, Kevin Levin catches the new waves of the study of memory, black soldiers, and the darker underside of the Civil War as well as anyone has... Levin is both superb scholar and public historian, showing us a piece of the real war that does now get into the books, as well as into site interpretation."

David Blight, Author of Race and Reunion

The original site that you listed, savetheelectricmap.com was registered in February 2008 by a John Deckeles of Post Falls, ID. Hard to tell if that’s the person behind the blog, but it’s a fair guess.

Thanks Heather, — Thanks for looking it up. I did a Google search, but nothing came up which is not surprising.
