Bloody ground Gettysburg

[mike1w]

So, is the red color of the clay at Gettysburg due to all the blood, or was it already red due to minerals?

The red clay was there long before the battle. I have the the book where I secured the information to answer your question.

If dirt were red due to blood we'd have a terrible history to reckon with in most of the South.
