Hallowed Ground
Thursday, December 7, 2006
More on Gettysburg later, but I thought I would post a few images from dusk on a wintry afternoon. The first image is from the center (aka "the copse") of the Union line, where the North repelled Pickett's Charge. The second is a view of Little Round Top, one of the decisive battles of the war, first as it was this week, then as it was in July 1863.
This last image is of Father William Corby, a priest of the Congregation of Holy Cross who is best known for giving a general absolution to around 300 Northern troops on the second day of the battle and who later went on to serve twice as President of Notre Dame.
[Click on thumbnails to enlarge. The images on the left were taken by me; the images on the right are public domain images from the era.]
