I visited recently Gettysburg and standing on Little Round Top you can almost feel the carnage that happened there. It is hard to imagine what Civil War soldiers endured in those battles. Thought often of my great grandfather who fought with 181st Ohio.

Those muskets in the photograph - were they all dropped by dying soldiers?

As a kid growing up in NJ, my Dad took us to Gettysburg on a day-trip. I had never before nor ever since had such a vivid eerie experience of spooks flying all around that place. Still gives me the chills just thinking about it, over 50 years later.
