I’m not usually one to say: “Hey, let’s go check out a Civil War battlefield!” But when the battlefield is Gettysburg, well, that’s something you don’t want to miss.
We spent an afternoon there, and I must say, I want to go back. You could spend a full day or more, easily, understanding how the battles played out, what strategies worked and which failed, and well, just being out in the countryside. There’s nothing like visiting a place to help you understand it better, whether that’s a foreign land, a vineyard or, yes, a Civil War battlefield.
I could go in to each photo and explain what happened where and why it’s important. But honestly that would be a lot of work for me, and you can get that information from a million different (and better) sources.
So how about if I just share the photos?
