Recently I found myself in Edgefield, SC doing some research for a project a good friend is doing on the Battle of Aiken, SC. While at the Edgefield historical Society I became a little sidetracked. Knowing Edgefield as the Birthplace of General James Longstreet, I decided to do a little research of my own. What I found was a treasure trove of information. I intended to find new material on his formative years (which I did) I found so much information on the general it will take me some time to sift through it all. The following is the information I was lucky enough to find pertaining to the Longstreet Gettysburg Memorial. The first one that was approved and delayed by the outbreak of WWII and the one we enjoy today. I hope you enjoy this information. I am very grateful that my friend who gave me the kick in the butt that I needed to explore South Carolina's rich CW history.
Much more to come later. I'm just wetting your appetite
