The itinerary tablets, or markers, which show actions taken by the Army of the Potomac each day from June 26, 1863 to July 5, 1863 are still a work in progress on East Cemetery Hill. This view was taken from the northeast facing southwest around 11:18 AM on Wednesday, August, 20th, 2008.

The itinerary tablets being placed on East Cemetery Hill by National Park Service maintenance workers now have metal backings (which will hold the tablet portion of the marker) bolted into the concrete bases. See our previous post on the markers' progress on July 31st.

The tablets were originally atop East Cemetery Hill across the street from the Evergreen Cemetery Gatehouse, shown in the background of this photograph. This view was taken from the southwest facing northeast around 11:19 AM on Wednesday, August, 20th, 2008.

As we showed in our original post about the markers on July 23rd, the majority of the bases are underground. This view was taken from the south facing north at 11:22 AM on Wednesday, August, 20th, 2008.

The 9th marker is visible in the left half of the frame. This view was taken from the southwest facing northeast around 11:25 AM on Wednesday, August, 20th, 2008.

In the background are the Army of Northern Virginia itinerary tablets on Seminary Ridge across West Confederate Avenue from the National Guard Armory. This view was taken from the southeast facing northwest at approximately 7:50 PM on Wednesday, July 23, 2008.

Again, please notice that there are ten Confederate itinerary tablets. The earliest date is the far right (northern) marker (June 26th), and the latest date is the far left (southern) marker (July 5th). This view was taken from the northeast facing southwest at approximately 7:50 PM on Wednesday, July 23, 2008.

The itinerary tablets give the movements for the army on that day. Here is the Army of Northern Virginia itinerary tablet for June 26, 1863. This view was taken from the east facing west at approximately 7:50 PM on Wednesday, July 23, 2008.
