From the Blog of the Gettysburg National Military Park
The story of the 9th Massachusetts Bigelow's Battery gunner, John K Norwood , and his rock.....
“The enemy were on the gun and limber…” Gunner John Norwood’s narrow escape at Gettysburg.
".....The tree that shaded the injured soldiers has long since been gone from this site and though time and weather have played hard on this particular boulder, which fits perfectly in the field among other rocks and rounded blocks of granite that jut through the soil, it is different because it has a personal story. And now a specific identity....."
It's a GREAT story - please read the entire article here https://npsgnmp.wordpress.com/2017/...er-john-norwoods-narrow-escape-at-gettysburg/
