Default Hi, Everyone!
I just ran across this site, and I am really enjoying reading what everyone has to say. I'm a college student majoring in history education, and I'm especially interested in the Civil War. I'm not quite sure where my interest in the Civil War started, but I know I gain more and more of an interest in it every day. I was born and raised in Pennsylvania. My ancestors were in the 143rd Pennsylvania Volunteers, and my g-g-g-g-grandfather was captured on the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg. I enjoy researching the 143rd and other Union regiments and officers, though I have great respect for the Confederates as well. Gettysburg is one of my favorite places to visit, and I regret that I haven't been there much. I know the discussions on this site will help me in my personal research (actually, they already have), and I look forward to sharing information and questions with all of you about the war.

Well welcome aboard Nelly. My brother absolutely loves your state. He's even looking to apply with the Gettysburg firedepartment (he's a fireman, so that would explain that now wouldn't it?) Enjoy your stay and chime in at any time. Everyone here is very friendly.
