Description

We post one image, that of the end of this terrible battle. In keeping with the times, the photo should be an older method and this duplicates it fairly well, done as a platinum/palladium print. I will not criticize the last even in actual history, this death laden charge and failure of the Confederates to gain the high ground. Many factors contributed to it. If anything is to be learned from events such as this reenactment, beyond and deeper than the camp life and fighting methods, it is a touch more truth of the history which is not always parallel with unfortunate revisionists history now in the text books of some schools. Weather for the several days was quite close to that recorded at the original fight in 1863, even to the end of it all when rain came down. That happened in 2013, the rain at the end of the hot and heart rending day. My wife shot the image and I did all editing. The participants provided the scene.

Nice job. Captures "period" atmosphere very nicely... mercifully without actual gore. I often wondered what the outcome would have been had Meade said: Hmmm. Let's let them have fun with Harrisburg and see if they can make it back to Virginia in one piece. Now THAT would have been a gamble with major payoff if it worked.
