Day 74 - Harrisburg

Gettysburg

I went to visit the battlefield and military cemetery at Gettysburg. It was a huge battle at the end of the civil war and thousands of men died. What is left there today is acres and acres of fields scattered with memorial plaques and monuments. It's very sad.

















A memorial to Lincoln and his address

I never knew what it was actually about but now that I do I realise what a great speech it was



These plaques everywhere tell you a bit about different regiments and it tells you what time they arrived on the battlefield. There are far too many plaques, it's so so sad.
