While on the battlefield last night in #Gettysburg, I noticed something I've never witnessed before...All of the sunset gazers were silent when watching the sun sink below South Mountain. It was so quiet & peaceful on LRT. Those are the nights I live for around here. #history

The gruesome task of burying bodies in #gettysburg continues Torrential rains have made keeping some of the remains under the earth, quite a task faces, hands, feet begin to resurface from the shallow graves

Officially, even if every day is Halloween. #halloween #halloween365🎃 @kinky_horror @therealjoebob @TheMutantFam @gettysburgmaam

Now Ozzy, too? ........ Mama, he's comin home.

Grew up watching the Cosby Show ....in shock. #malcomjamalwarner

Elizabeth Thorn, nearly 6 months pregnant returns to #Gettysburg today & The Evergreen Cemetery to bury 91 soldiers Her daughter, born 3 months later would die at the age of 14 due to complications as a result of Elizabeth's strenuous work while pregnant after the battle

7.7.1863 Adams County Sentinel: "...We have learned only of the following: - Killed, Miss Mary Virginia Wade by our own sharpshooters... The suffering & afflicted need not be assured that they have the hearty sympathy of the community" #Gettysburg

The scent of rotting flesh The scent of burning horses The scent of manure The black flies The buzzards The contaminated water The lack of food #Gettysburg 162 yrs ago was hell on earth.

The smell at #Gettysburg is thick in the air Citizens are forced to keep windows closed in this July heat Those who must venture out do so with pieces of cloth or handkerchiefs across their faces dipped in peppermint oil to mask the stench #Gettysburg162

Lee to Ewell 7.6.1863 I do not like the continuance of the enemy on the north side of James River & the maintenance of the pontoon bridge at Deep Bottom I believe his force is not very large, & desire you to see if it cannot be driven away, & the bridge destroyed #Gettysburg
