July 3, 1863
July 3, 1863. Day 3 of Gettysburg. I had ancestors on both sides of the Civil War. Scores of them. I walked Pickett’s charge — 7000 casualties to CSA alone in less than an hour of fighting — through the old cornfield one cold autumn day alone 20 years ago. No one was around. No people. No vehicles. It’s still a long flat march with no natural cover. I had tears in my eyes when I reached the Angle.
