Book had pictures of the hill shortly after the battle. Movie attention didn’t hurt, though.

I do have some information on it, (as well as the required images) and I will put it on the list to do. Jenny

On one of our first Gettysburg visits together in the late 1970s, we took a brown bag lunch (against the rules) and sat near there while he told me the history. I’d been to G’burg often, living nearby, but I learned more from him that day than I’d known in all the years before. Thanks once again for helping me relive that day!

My favorite “monument” is the giant book at the High Water Mark. I saw it for the first time when I was about 9 and a voracious reader even then. Got a story for that? Or have you done it and I missed it?
