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.
