What a great story, I would like to know if anyone replied to his newspaper article

[@jerroldbates355]

Amazing how the family roamed around the battlefield and was not hit by stray gunfire.

A map showing the location of the house would have been nice.

[@TheCleric42]

The Klingle farm is at the corner of Sickles Ave and the Emmitsburg Rd in Gettysburg

[@EricRush]

@@TheCleric42 Found it. Thank you.

[@jamesorth6460]

is that an antenna on top of the house near the big tree in the back?

[@65bam65]

I saw that myself and was curious if it it or not.

[@laserbeam002]

Yes. The picture was obviously taken, i'm guessing, in the early 1950's to mid 1960's.

Hadn't heard any of this before. Mmmm....almost sounds too good to be true.

[@oldgeezerproductions]

Such are "the horrors of war" as they are visited on ordinary citizens in their towns and farms that find themselves in "the cockpit of war." Of course, I am not a scholar of this war or any war, but the following is my firm opinion: It was to avoid this very thing, certain to occur all throughout the South that the responsible military and civilian authorities of the Confederacy almost exclusively avoided guerilla war and surrendered when they did rather than prolong a hopeless cause (hopeless once slavery was dead).

Little round top was the worse place to go
