Just think...the soldiers of Law’s brigade have already been up marching for hours and their day is still only just beginning.

The odd thing about this battle is that South attacked from the North attacked from the south in its initial stage.

When looking at Gettysburg day one and two, the lack of major cavalry support on both sides is always startling.

"Many people later blamed Longstreet for the Confederates' eventual defeat." That must be why they didn't put up a monument to him until just a few years ago and the monument itself is an embarassment. It looks like he's riding a dog.
No, it wasn't Longstreet's "fault".

Colonel Patrick Henry O'Rorke (140th New York Infantry) was killed at Little Round Top on July 2nd.
His grave is a few miles from my home and I will pay my respects today.

I’m in Gettysburg right now! Seems like a sad place to me.
So many many men died here.
