General Hancock of the 2nd Corp! As I
was walking through the reenactor campground behind the PA monument I
looked up and the beard was unmistakable!
Quartermasters attached to Gen.
Hancock whose tent was right next door! Tough job always under the
watchful eye of the boss!
This will give you some idea of the
size of the boulders that sit atop the rocky face of Little Round Top.
They are fun to climb on but get slippery after a rain.
The magnificent monument to the Irish
Brigade. This is one you really need to see up close as no photo could
possibly do it justice.
An example of the beautiful post and
rail fence you'll find throughout the Battlefield.
This is the new Visitor Center
located a half mile down Baltimore Pike past Evergreen Cemetery. The
displays are found in the red circular part of the structure and are
organized by the time of day during the Battle. This is where you can
make arrangements for a Licensed Battlefield Guide. Hiring a guide is
highly recommended for your first trip to Gettysburg.
Many visitors only have a weekend to
see it all. There's no better way to make the best use of your time than
to have a Licensed Battlefield Guide escort you.
