Gettysburg, PA

Monday, November 1, we left New Jersey and went to Gettysburg, PA.  On Tuesday, we took the 24 mile auto tour around the 6000 acres of the national park which included the fields where the battle was waged July1 thru July 3, 1863, where a total of  51,000 Union & Conferderate soliders were either wounded, killed, or missing in action.  It was hard to believe a place of such beauty was a scene of such carnage.  You can't help but be moved by the monuments throughout the park, and especially in the cemetery, where Lincoln gave his Gettysburg Address.
