 I took a little trip over to Gettysburg, the Civil War Battlefield.  

There is so much to see here that I could spend a week just reading and seeing all the monuments.  

The view across the battlefield from the above monument.  Union was to the left, Confederate was to the right.

This monument was built by the same man who built Mt. Rushmore, Gutzon Borglum.

This is the view from the Confederate side looking across the battlefield toward the Union side.

Here is the other side of the battlefield.  This is the Union side view looking toward the Confederate side.

These photos are from Cemetary Hill, the site where President Abraham Lincoln delivered The Gettysburg Address.

Soldiers' National Monument - the actual site of The Gettysburg Address.

There, that is a brief glimpse of Gettysburg.  If you ever get here it is an amazing place.  So much American history.  I took the two-hour bus tour.  Well worth the price.  You won't be disappointed.
