We made our way to Gettysburg where fierce battles had taken place during the Civil War. Many buildings in Gettysburg are pot marked with cannon fire. At left also is the train station in Gettysburg used by Abraham Lincoln when he went there to deliver the Gettsburn Address.
Battlefields of Gettsburg where more men fell than in any other battle fought in North America before or since. When the armies marched away from Gettsburn they left behind a community in shambles and over 51,000 soldiers dead, wounded, and missing. Wounded and dying were crowded into nearly every building.
There are more than 3,000 mounuments on the battlefields that honor the men and yes, women who fought in the Civil Way. Above is one commorating NH's contribution.
