The Battle of Gettysburg: To many historians the Battle of Gettysburg represents the Confederacy's "High Water Mark" or the turning point in the war. General Robert E. Lee was hoping an invasion of the North would not only relieve some pressure on Vicksburg, but also help Virginia's farms recover and give more fuel to the North's peace movement. The Battle of Gettysburg is the result of Lee's second invasion. The goal of this site is to collect essays, printed material, and web links for easy access for research of this great piece of American history. Along with serving as an index for all of my journal entries, pictures and writings. |

| Gettysburg Trip September 2007 Last Updated: 09/24/07 Greg and I returned to the Gettysburg Battlefield on the 13th & 14th of September 2007 and were able to get a little more in depth with some of the action then on our previous trip in 2005. After getting reacquainted with the field we followed the 15th and 47th AL regiments from where they were deployed on Warfield Ridge over Big Round Top to their meeting with the 83rd PA and 20th ME on Little Round Top... |
| Little Round Top - Chamberlain VS Spear Last Updated: 3/7/2006 I have always taken for granted the popular belief of the 20th Maine's story of the Battle of Little Round Top, until I came across an article in the August 2005 issue of the Civil War Times. The author (Jeffrey Denman) of the article (What Really Happened on Little Round Top?) points out there are two very different stories on what transpired during the battle most specifically how the charge was executed. The two who seem to be at odds with each other are Joshua Chamberlain and Ellis Spear. |
| Gettysburg Trip 2005 Last Updated: 12/30/2005 Greg and I took a long weekend to go and explore the Gettysburg Battlefield. I truly have to say it is an amazing experience to say the least and puts any reading on the subject into perspective. This is one of the biggest Civil War Battlefields and would truly take years to see everything, so we bought the TravelBrains Gettysburg Audio Tour Guide and spent two days with the battle highlights. |
| Gettysburg 2005 Journal Entry Last Updated: 12/30/2005 The feeling I had when stepping onto the battle was one of both amazement and what I can only describe as solemnness. The vastness of the field is amazing and the stone monuments reminded me of a graveyard but they also tell the story of the men who fought there. At the time I was just finishing "Gettysburg" by Stephen Sears so the battlefield really came alive for me. |
