Wow, I am sooooo envious because you got to visit Gettysburg.
If Bianca agrees, I'd go to Gettysburg as our wedding trip. ![]()
Joshua Chamberlain sure is my favorite too.
What he and his 20th Maine accomplished is far beyond the call of duty.

I read several reports on that battle.
Must admit I feel sorry for the Confederate boys who simply vanished under the murderous Federal artillery and musket fire there.
Gettysburg is - to me - one of the examples of the brutal fightings during the Civil War.
