Gettysburg

My roommate Janette is getting married and moving to Texas. We decided to go to Gettysburg before she left and on August 25th she had a friend visit...the perfect excuse to go touristing! Janette decided to buy the dramatized audio tour. It consisted of 65 minutes of historical facts mixed with cheesy narration. It was fun...and educational.



This lone headstone, dedicated to one of many companies who fought in the Battle of Gettysburg, seem to me to be the essence of a battle field. Battles won and lost at much to high a cost...so many lives lost.





It's too beautiful a place to have been the scene of so much bloodshed and destruction.
