Penn. Memorial - Gettysburg (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Wystan said:
    The Pennsylvania State Memorial at Gettysburg (AKA the Pennsylvania State Monument) is the largest and most complex monument in the battlefield park. It was designed by W. Liance Cottrell (1868-1964), and erected in 1910. The final result closely resembles the design of this tabletop model, but some details (notably the swag decorations on the dome) were omitted or altered. A half-dozen individual sculptors contributed the various statues and bas reliefs that adorn the monument.

    Love how they handle their weapons! Hands over the muzzle, rifle perched nonchalantly over the shoulder. Awesome.

Dinner Time - Gettysburg (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • MDRails said:
    I remember reading about how surprised the event organizers were by the youthful appetites of the veterans at one of the reunions (I can't remember if it was the 1913 or 1938 reunion or both), they were good eaters. At one of the events, they drank all the whiskey provided twice over. In a live radio interview from '38, one veteran being questioned went off on the following tangent: (from memory) "I want to talk about women's skirts. They are too short. Why, when I was at the sporting house last week ... " (cut off by interviewer).
