Bachelder rock final.jpg

Gettysburg Battlefield's first historian was John Bachelder, seen with his wife below posing in Devil's Den ca. 1890. The rock his wife is sitting on has become known as Bachelder's Rock by many over the years. It is my understanding that the Bachelder's used this photograph as their Christmas card that year. I shot the now pic early one morning and could not avoid my shadow. :D

Fill flash would have reduced the shadow, GG. I should talk. My shadow's in a whole lot of my photos.
