An interesting piece written by, the "Pride of the Magnolia State", Gettysburg Ranger Matt Atkinson.

So the marker is across the street from where the first shot was fired. Is that correct? The article did not dispute the shooter, as I understand, only the target. Interesting and thanks for the pictures and thread.

This will be part of my Friday plan for the September rendezvous.
