GG's 2007 Road Trip
This is a beautiful photo, isnt it. And the countryside around Gettysburg is beautiful with the green and gold fields, the old rail fences, the rock walls. It is hard to visualize the battle that raged here in July, 1863 between the Army of the Potomac and the Confederate forces...and the terrible loss of lives in that four day battle. In an account written by a Captain in General Picketts Division, "The destruction of life in the ranks of that advancing host was fearful beyond precendent, officers going down by dozens and the men by scores and fifties." Across this field the Confederate soldiers must charge through the open to attack the Union soldiers dug in at Little Round Top just beyond the grove of trees.
