This is a photo of the 142nd Pennsylvania V. I. monument with the Lutheran Seminary in the background. On the first day's field at Gettysburg, it has special meaning to me because I had two ancestors who fought here. One was KIA. © Glenn T. Spickler

This is the original burial site of Captain David Acheson, 140th P.V.I., KIA July 2, 1863. He was buried at this stone and his name was etched into the rock. His father eventually came to Gettysburg and took his son home for burial. © Glenn T. Spickler

The Cashtown Inn. Famous meeting place of CSA command on the approach to Gettysburg. The movie Gettysburg and a few modern day paintings would lead us to believe that the whole CSA Army marched by here on their journey. If one does the research and talks to some of the locals, this just isn't true! © Glenn T. Spickler

Some of the men on the artillery named their guns for sweethearts back home. This one was named "Cora". It used to sit at General Sickles' Headquarters but, has been recently taken away by the Park Service. © Glenn T. Spickler

Taken at the summit of Little Round Top on the same night that 3 rolls of film were taken of similar views including the sunset and, what I call "Unknown Energy". I sent this to show the camera was working OK! © Glenn T. Spickler

View from William Frassanito's book, Page 172, V-13 with me as the dead guy! I have lots of these as myself and a friend scoured the field and located all of Frassanito's views. © Glenn T. Spickler

This is the actual spot where the dead CSA soldier in the famous "snipers nest" photo was originally found before they moved him. That's me again taking his place. Frassanito, Page 188, V-23. © Glenn T. Spickler

Iverson's Pits. On the first day of fighting here, North Carolina troops from Iverson's Brigade received severe casualties here and were buried in this field. This solitary marker in the middle of the field indicates where long trenches were dug for the bodies of Iverson's Brigade. Erected by the 88th PA of the 1st Corps, it states they "Charged to this point, capturing 2 battle flags and a number of prisoners" © Glenn T. Spickler

Grave of Jennie Wade, Evergreen Cemetery. Ms. Wade was the only civilian killed during the Battle of Gettysburg. She was killed while baking bread for the troops fighting near her home when a single bullet went through the wall in her home, through the door to her kitchen, striking her in the spine and killing her instantly. Her grave is one of only two graves in the United States where the American Flag flies 24 hours a day over a female's grave. The other one is Betsy Ross. © Glenn T. Spickler

Photo taken on the "same night" from the Emmittsburg Road toward the Round Tops. An "orb" was captured in the lower right hand corner. I don't know what it is but, it fit the description! © Glenn T. Spickler
