Gettysburg Battlefield
After visiting in Baltimore and Washington DC we visited the battle field at Gettysburg Pennsylvania. First stop was the Visitors Center for a history lesson about the most famous Civil War Battle. After the history lesson and amazing Cyclorama program we drove through the roads of the battle fields. For three days in July of 1863 more than 15,000 Confederate and Union soldiers battled here. It is sobering to see the more than 1400 monuments and memorials to the fallen soldiers both Union and Confederate. At the end of the third day of battle 10,000 soldiers were killed or mortally wounded, 30,000 injured and 10,000 captured or missing. The dead were buried in shallow graves on the battlefield and crudely identified by a pencil writing on wooden boards.
Some of the battlefield photos were taken from the back seat as we drove through the famous battlefield. I will add them to my From the Passenger Seat Gallery.
