Gettysburg

Here is a link to my photobucket page with pictures from the Gettysburg reenactment this year, the photographer was set up near our battery.

I gleaned most of them from: http://spotted.savannahnow.com/photos/index.php?id=3612233

It was impressive seeing the Confederate gun line the last day.  I think there were about 65 full scale guns on it.  I wish I could have gotten some good shots of the artillery park. 

The grave markers are in Camdent Point MO.  We stumbled on it by accident on the way home.  I pulled off to fuel and to measure the width of the trailer - there was a lane width reduction and I wanted to make sure I was able to make it through.  Some gentlemen saw the cannon (hard to miss) and came and talked to us, told us about the local action and the 6 graves.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Camden_Point

and a period newspaper report on it.

I know, this doesn't have a lot to do with cannons.
