Using this 1863 image from Gettysburg, of Pennsylvania College to symbolize us smack in the middle of the war, where so many were lost and so many left behind. Hit me, one building there my daughter entered as a Freshman and in a ceremony as old as the college, graduated, and exited through it. We left a lot in those years as we did at Gettysburg. So leave some here.
Maybe we have this thread? Can't find it. I don't mean a quote by a later author- they're too easy because authors glue together words staggeringly well.
Anyone, soldier or, one supposes, politician ( if you have to.... ), letter from home, battle quotes- anything at all. We have so many intriguing signatures here, on member profiles it always makes me smile. What a well read, amazingly researched, dedicated bunch.
I'll have to come back, personally. There are so many. Just when you think someone either summed it up, or got to you, Mother Bickerdyke will show up.
