Project
Gettysburg, it is said, has the largest collection of outdoor sculpture in the world. The purpose of this project is to write a brief synopsis of each of the major monuments at Gettysburg. The synopsis will include a little bit about each regiment (or person) and a little bit about each monument.

Hi Jenny,
My name is Rene Tyree and I recently found a link to your site from Harry’s Bull Runnings. I’m so impressed with the breadth of documentation you’ve put together on the Gettysburg monuments. Great stuff.
