charge. fascinating. you can actually see the cannonball as it was shot way up, landing on to a designated target. there was a guy at the landing zone measuring how close it was to the flag, a job i would not envy, akin to being a javelin catcher at a track meet. and there are women in period costume and gives me a whole new appreciation what it meant to get dressed in 1863. she put on her corset and corset cover and put maybe a hoop and one or two slips over that, then her dress because the hoop would make the dress flare out. you always put a couple layers because you didn t want to see those bones showing through because it was considered vulgar. so easy to get dressed on a hot summer day like this and how comfortable, too. people have come literally from all over the world to gettysburg
