I was impressed as we explored the Gettysburg battle site of the Civil War. Growing up in VT I learned about the infamous Green Mountain Boys but a road trip from TX to visit my folks in VT as a young mother took us through PA. In the 70s this area was full of bushes and I could see there were quite a few places a soldier could hide. This was the final fate of Lee’s Pickett who marched across an open field to his group’s death. Years ago the monument was in the middle of grasses and bushes but the scene shown here is quite serene and different. All in all back then, I was intrigued by how small the entire famous battle area was. Quite sad even today as I see the photos and that in two days time (July 1-3, 1863)
more than 35,000 people were killed.
