I’ve never been to Gettysburg but I remember seeing a Cyclorama in St. Augustine Florida at about the same age. Mom & pop had to tear me away from it!

I went to Gettysburg with my dad and my two older brothers. My mom took my two younger sisters to the Jersey Shore. Mom and Dad would often do that. One year dad took the three of us to Washington DC in June of 1967, the very week of the Six Day War. Anyway I remember it was in the summer and I must have been around 10. It was very hot, walking all over that battlefield. We saw Little Round Top, Devils Den, the site of Picketts Charge. I don't really remember too much. I do remember jumping on every cannon I saw, upsetting the park rangers and my Dad! I also remember thinking that because there were (replica) cannons all over that I'd see real, live Yankees and Confederates. I think I was helped along in this delusion by my older brother who loved to bust my chops. Ah, when you were a kid, right?
