Gettysburg Four: More

I really had a blessed trip to Gettysburg this time. I left just after six in the morning, it was pretty foggy with a sprinkling of rain. I was in town by eight, and the rain had stopped. After the Eisenhower farm I was driving the auto tour of the battlefields when a sudden downpour forced me to pull over to the visitor's center where the cyclorama is. It was a strange storm for Pennsylvania, more suited to Florida. I was only sitting in my car a couple of minutes when the rain had slowed, so I grabbed my umbrella and proceeded to the visitor's center book store when I came across this fellow, a snapper, quite big. He must've come up from Spangler's spring. There were also baby chipmunks, Mummy called those, grinnies. The other pictures are from General Meade's headquarters. The rain had completely stopped once I'd reached the bookstore. My favorite Civil War book is still A Diary from Dixie by Mary Chesnut. I like Shelby Foote's Stars in their Courses too.
