RE: Gettysburg Address 150 years later
Welcome aboard ,Gary!
I'm so very glad you enjoyed Gettysburg. "Remembrance Day" is a wonderful celebration. I've been to Gettysburg and Remembrance Day lots of times. Another thing you may enjoy are the reenactments of the battle which are usually held around July 4th. They have a huge Civil War relic and book sale there at the same time and I used to go up for that every year - if you want ANYTHING Civil War, that is the place to go! It's the largest Civil War show in the US. To me, the "feel" of the battle and the repercussions of it are still vivid to this day - particularly out on the battlefield. You will find many wonderful and friendly folk here, as well as respected scholars and professional historians who will intrigue you with their knowledge. It's a facinating study! Looking forward to your posts! "The Past is a foreign country...they do things differently there" - L. P. Hartley |
