Battle of Gettysburg

Tomorrow is July 1 - the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg.

My calender, from The Gettysburg Foundation, has had something marked for every day of June, sort of giving little snippets of troop movements towards Gettysburg.

And so, today it says that the Confederates converged on the G'burg area. But! I Googled "June 30, 1863" and came up with this.

Although, don't forget the Siege of Vicksburg, which was going on at the same time.

Ah, those first few days of July! Time to watch this again!!

(If you've got the time, why not check out the annual reenactment! It's HUGE! It's FUN!)
