Battlefields & Cannons on the hillsides
Miles of fences & Regimental Monuments
I thought I would upload some of my pictures from the battlefields of Gettysburg. There is an 18 mile driving tour through the battlefields and monuments, dedicated to the different regiment's from all the states involved in the battles of Gettysburg and the Civil War.
The day we were there, was a beautiful spring day with lots of greens and yellows. The sky was clear and blue. The battles that were fought here 146 years ago can still be imagined by looking at the placements of the cannons, looking down into the Devils Den at Little Round Top where 100's of young men were slaughtered. So many died on this field that the creek ran red with their blood.
I would encourage everyone to spend an afternoon touring this area....and remembering.
