Hey Gang,
Pickett's Charge - Memorial March
I had the opportunity to take part in something really special on July 3rd. A small group of reenactors applied for a permit to do a Memorial March over the ground of Pickett's Charge. We were representing the 57th Virginia Infantry. There were about 40 of us and we stopped at various locations on the field to read first person accounts from the survivors. We started at the Virginia Monument and ended at Armistead's Monument. It was pretty awesome to literally 'walk a mile in their shoes'. I've been to Gettysburg a few times now, but never had the chance to actually walk the full length of Pickett's Charge. It gave me a whole new perspective on what happened that day and how horrible it must have been. If anyone is interested, I produced a video about the event. (It's 42 minutes long - so grab some popcorn...) Overall, it was an amazing event and I'm so glad I had the chance to participate.
