Of the Civil War battlefields I’ve seen, Gettysburg is by far my least favorite. A monument every 6 feet, etc....Can’t imagine the battle.

That’s just The Angle at Pickett’s Charge field by the old visitor center and museum. The battlefield includes thousands of acres, woods, etc., in several locations around and including the town.

Those aren’t my words. I found Gettysburg to be magnificent, clearly the A1 of CW battlefields.

Its my hope to find the time to tour the western theater battlefields, particularly Shiloh, in the near future.
