Some of my favorite places on earth are civil war battlefields, especially Gettysburg, Antietam, and Monacacy.  The amount of sheer carnage in these areas is unbelievable!  This makes for alot of "GHOST SOLDIERS" and increases the chances of contact.  We treat these areas with great respect as we do the soldiers we encounter.  Check out these battlefields if you can!

On July 2, 1863, the Army of the Potomac met the Army of Northern Virginia at a small crossroads town called Gettysburg.  In just 3 days of fighting there would be over 50,000 casualties and the town would go from 3,000 people to over 200,000.  In the days after the battle, nearly every structure with walls became a hospital, including some of the barns that are still here today!  On Little Round Top, COL Joshua Chamberlain and the men of the 20th maine would hold the armies extreme left flank.
