Very interesting to see how forests have grown and how monuments have been placed. When you visit Gettysburg and other battlefields it is hard to imagine the carnage, the horror, the death, the panic, the sweat, the fierceness of battle. There is always a hint of melancholy too, especially on misty mornings or in autumn or winter and you wonder whether all those dead souls lie easy under that sacred soil. It is good to take children to see these battlefields. I grew up during the 1960s when the Centennials of all these battles took place. One summer my parents took us three kids to all the VA battlefields and we went from one to the other by car. I especially liked any displays of uniforms and equipment, which really humanized battle for us. This instilled in me a great love of history. We loved getting little souvenirs of these battles to remind us of this trip.

I found the pictures of the guys dead on the ground most moving. The fact that you have found the exact locations where those unfortunate men gasped their last breath. Those poor souls laying in a field and bleeding out scared, in pain and ultimately alone in the middle of a battle. Will we ever learn, will we ever gain empathy.

I think I remember reading that some of those photos that show deceased soldiers were posed. There are some famous photos taken where deceased soldiers were moved into the place and not where the actual soldier perished. There's also at least 1 photo that I know of where uniformed men posed as dead soldiers for purpose of the photo . That would be the slaughter pen photo. The national park service has a great website that shows before and after photos of Gettysburg. You can slide between now and then.

I was using my metal detector in a field in New Hampshire and found a brass civil war infantry coat button. Some veteran came home from the war and still used his coat because those coats were quality and people didn't have as much clothing as they do now. It was an amazing feeling to hold something that was last touched so long ago.

We went to Gettysburg and visited on an early evening in mid July. It was hot and sticky, and we had the battlefield to ourselves. It was beautiful as the sun was setting, thousands of fire flies appeared across the fields. It was amazing. I stopped to wonder if the soldiers saw the same in the evenings after the battles. One of the most spiritual things I have seen.

Hon. Horace Greely: Executive Mansion, Dear Sir Washington, August 22, 1862. I have just read yours of the 19th. addressed to myself through the New-York Tribune. If there be in it any statements, or assumptions of fact, which I may know to be erroneous, I do not, now and here, controvert them. If there be in it any inferences which I may believe to be falsely drawn, I do not now and here, argue against them. If there be perceptable in it an impatient and dictatorial tone, I waive it in deference to an old friend, whose heart I have always supposed to be right. As to the policy I “seem to be pursuing” as you say, I have not meant to leave any one in doubt. I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored; the nearer the Union will be “the Union as it was.” If there be those who would not save the Union, unless they could at the same time save slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views. I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men every where could be free. Yours, A. LINCOLN

The first time I ever set foot on a battlefield at Gettysburg I cried. I had no idea what came over and it was though I was engulfed by the sadness and tragedy. I have never felt anything like it before nor since. My late husband and I loved Gettysburg and when he died it was some time before I could visit again. It was an overnight stay and just once. Next weekend I am am returning and I am sure it will be very emotional for me. It will also be on the exact day when so many soldiers lost their lives 157 years ago😢

If you do come to America, most of the Civil War battlefields are in Virginia; Gettysburg is a bit over the state line from VA in Pennsylvania. The battlefields are all relatively close so you can visit several in one day. Appomattox Court House, where the peace was signed between Generals Lee and Grant, is restored and very interesting to visit -- it's where it all finally ended. I am glad someone from the UK is interested in American history. We visited London and Scotland a few years ago. Walking up Glen Coe where a famous battle took place was as sacred a land as is Gettysburg. Shelby Foote was interviewed extensively for Ken Burns's documentary Civil War. Watch that before visiting. It will prepare you as an overall introduction to the Civil War. As a child during the Centennial of the Civil War back in the 1960s my parents took us three kids on a summer vacation to visit the VA battlefields. It was a trip we could take by car, living an hour northeast of Gettysburg.....we went on school field trips to Gettysburg. One of my history teachers became a Gettysburg battlefield guide. Ghosts are said to be visible at Gettysburg too, if you are interested in the paranormal. ha, ha.....One would expect that with all the carnage of that terrible battle. A sense of melancholy seems to pervade these places where so many men died. I have been to Gettysburg about four times. Aged 71 I wish I could visit again but I live in FL so that may not happen. It is an amazing place to visit.

I have been to Gettysburg one time, and it was about 1990 or so. Toured it from my vehicle as I only had one day there, and wish I could have spent more time. Next time I'd like to do it on a bicycle over the course of a few days just to have the time to stop and read the memorials and markers. I had studied the battle for years as a kid growing up, so when my daughter and I drove into Gettysburg from the west to east, I recognized so much of it just from the pictures I had seen in books....the Round Tops, Cemetery Ridge, Seminary Ridge, the Railroad Cut, etc. Thanks for the pictures!

Longstreet didn't like the battle field either and felt Lee shouldn't engage the enemy there, too well defended, therefore he agreed with you. Longstreet hesitated when ordered to attack because of this and he had to take a lot of the blame for the defeat.

I was just there this spring with my class and used this video prior to the trip to show the students the reality of the battlefield. Many of them recognized where the dead had lain and walked around those spots out of respect.

@@jamig.7254 Just part of the history of an ongoing extremely violent nation . First they exterminated the indigenous nations . Then after slaughtering each other . then killed many millions more during the expansion of the American Imperial Empire . Brilliant social scientist Carl Marx once said . The gross extremes and contradictions within American will eventually destroy it . A case of whom the gods make mad ,will also destroy ?

My great great great grandfather fought at Gettysburg during Pickett charge, his name is on the Pennsylvania monument. I as a child spent 2 years living there and spent many a days at that battlefield.

Brian Raymen ... "were the officers very polite to each other like they have been portrayed in the film ?" I would say that everyone were much more polite back then. Another sign of just how far our society has morally deteriorated.

Desde la distancia en mi Argentina, los saludo y les ofrezco mis más sinceros respetos por los combatientes de ambos bandos que pelearon cada uno con una intención, pero con la idea de formar un estado de hermanos. Tristes imágenes en algunos momentos pero de gran valor histórico que sirve de ejemplo a toda la humanidad. ¡¡Excelente material!!. ¡¡Gracias x compartirlo con el internet!!.
