OT: Gettysburg visit

[Dove]

Somewhere I have to find a picture of me on Little Round Top as I reenacted one of my ancestors. The crowd there was awed by my performance.

He served in the 20th Maine Regiment under Joshua Chamberlain. He was the only paid soldier in the group as he thought volunteering was insane. His claim to anonymity was him yelling at his commander, who saw that the guys were out of bullets, to form a wheel pattern and charge downhill hill "with those pointy things on our guns!!!".

Anyway, don't be afraid to research any family members who were there and reenact at will.

Legend has it, the entire company responded by shouting: "Shut up, Dove's great-great grandfather!"

Its legend, yeah. But not written anywhere.


:good one:

Legend has it, the entire company responded by shouting: "Shut up, Dove's great-great grandfather!"

"And no satin uniforms, either!"

 

[Dove]

"And no satin uniforms, either!"

Oh, he wore satin. A sashay or something. He was known as the Flame of Presque Isle.

Be sure to tell us how many ghosts you see.

1) The car tour is a must. You don't want to ride a bus like some sort of savage. Car guide was perfect.

2) Battlefield is amazing. The cyclorama is amazing.

3) Took a ghost tour tonight. Didn't see any ghosts.

4) The town of Gettysburg is basically Lake George if Lake George just completely gave up.

5) As I defended Little Big Top in the rear, Bob Diaco forced a southern surrender in the Civil ConFLiCT.

has no one mentioned how bad it smells? The whole area smells absolutely terrible

 

[Fishy]

I don't know if it's terrible, but it's definitely odd.

I noticed it all day.

 

[JMick]

I honestly got stick from the smell. I went there on an unofficial visit to play baseball and it kept me from even applying to the school.

Are you still there? If you lay on the battlefield, realllll quietlike for a couple of minutes, you start hearing the screams of the wounded and dying. It would be a great experience for the little one, too, once he/she gets past the nightmares...
