The books I chose were set in the Civil War era and written from the perspective of the South. What a tragic time, a difficult era in our history. You've recounted it so well.Victoriahttp://liv2write2day.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884360193624478106.post-23124274717678206422012-02-26T09:50:58.833-05:002012-02-26T09:50:58.833-05:00Thank you, Heaven!Thank you, Heaven!Ginny Brannanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15298060016652737538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884360193624478106.post-4197830885140856992012-02-26T09:50:38.900-05:002012-02-26T09:50:38.900-05:00Well worth the visit.

The antique stores contain a plethora of amazing historic memorabilia. South of town are the battlefields, and many places ways to learn about the battle, the history there.Ginny Brannanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15298060016652737538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884360193624478106.post-90514984407543394942012-02-26T09:45:48.130-05:002012-02-26T09:45:48.130-05:00Claudia, it is all the foot soldiers, the unknowns...Claudia, it is all the foot soldiers, the unknowns, that fight bravely to turn the course of history. During this 3 day battle approximately 48,000 men fell: 23,000 from the North (1/4 of the Union troops)fell at Gettysburg, and 25,000 from the South killed, wounded or captured (1/3 of Lee's army)Ginny Brannanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15298060016652737538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884360193624478106.post-52536256251368756162012-02-26T09:39:37.549-05:002012-02-26T09:39:37.549-05:00Brian, My in-laws live 1/2 hour north, we visit of...Brian, My in-laws live 1/2 hour north, we visit often, such an amazing place. My skin literally tingles when we are there. So much history, so many ghosts--the history just oozes from the ground, the rocks and trees, the very air you breath. We read the names in whispered voices, knowing our imaginations barely visualize, cannot come close, to what happened during the 3 day battle.Ginny Brannanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15298060016652737538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884360193624478106.post-39069308798295459452012-02-26T09:07:41.607-05:002012-02-26T09:07:41.607-05:00Beautiful...specially the last line of the new daw...Beautiful...specially the last line of the new dawn ~ <br /><br />Thank you for sharing this bit of history.Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03330793338813508704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884360193624478106.post-79300919518378951532012-02-26T08:51:48.455-05:002012-02-26T08:51:48.455-05:00Excellent poem, shares a bit of history.
