Marion's visit to Gettysburg
#3

Just installed the CD-ROM onto my laptop. It's great to be able to see animated battlefield action. You can get a generalized overview of the three-day battle, and you can also click on individual battles, such as Little Round Top. Have a lot to look though yet, but like it so far. You can also place the auto-drive map over the battlefield. Lee was just saying how wonderful it was, because now we can truly picture the whole thing before our eyes.

 

Even if you've seen it on TV, etc., you cannot get the true scope of let's say, Pickett's Charge, until you are standing in the Union positions, on the top of the hill near the Copse of Trees and the Angle. Incredible, breathtaking! You actually get goose-bumps standing there, staring down and imagining divisions of men running across the VAST open expanses of land and making their way towards the high-ground. Trying to hear the hundreds of canon (smooth and rifled) going off for hours at a time, and the smoke and carnage. Hold! Hold!
