Gettysburg

Ed & I left the DC area on Monday, July 9th and traveled to Gettysburg to visit the battlefield. WOW! We got a CD to play in the car on Tuesday and we traveled the 18-mile auto tour that traced the three-day battle in chronoligical order. We listened as the narrator described the battles as we viewed the battlefields. The fighting at Gettysburg is history...but the battlefields are still here, they say that much of it looks the same today as it did in 1863. It was very tragic that over 51,000 US citizens were killed, wounded or went missing. Most of the dead are burried at Gettysburg National Cemetery. I am glad that we ended our 43 day history tour here at Gettysburg! If you are interested in the Civil War, you must visit Gettysburg.
