My Civil War Travels: Lincoln Memorial

http://civilwartravels.blogspot.com/2010/04/lincoln-memorial.html

My Civil War Travels. Thursday, April 1, 2010. Address. The room on the left has the Gettysburg Address engraved into the wall. I'm not sure.

I find this sad. Our students in our schools do not know who most of our early leaders were nor do they seem to care. Occasionally.

State in the Union and the base is shaped like Tennessee. All.very cool. In the 1st ( PACS. Duty was VE...

My Civil War Travels. Sunday, November 29, 2009. Andrew Humphreys advance to Gettysburg. Advance into Gettysburg has always interested me. He started up the Emmitsburg. Road and then was pulled onto Bull Frog. Road by one of General Sickles staff. From there, they took a long way around the town of Gettysburg only to run head first into the Confederates. Fortunately, they weren't seen. So they snuck away. It was a long and difficult walk which only resulted in Humphreys. Colonel Hayden was positive that.
