Gettysburg Photos


Allison displays a fine understanding of the Union fishhook shaped troop deployment while we have a snack in the visitor center.


John Buford's memorial statue. Buford, (played by Sam Elliott in the movie "Gettysburg") went up into the tower of the Seminary to get a look at the lay of the land. He set the pickets that saw the Confederates coming and one of them fired the first shot in the battle. One of our favorite phrases, "This is good ground." gets repeated a lot when we are at Gettysburg. (Along with a lot of moaning about wanting to see Hancock one more time.)


David Wills House--a Lincoln stayed here moment.


Allison at the monument to the High Water Mark and at the marker for the Angle.
