interesting pics thanks Goldman
Excellant pics Goldmann..
I've been to the Anteitem Bridge.. sad place.. the water is about a foot deep. But the Union Army wouldn't give up charging over the bridge. I think they made three different charges and lost many men. The Rebels had the high ground and just kicked ass. I remember going there about 15 years ago with my German wife. We were walking away from the bridge and I looked over my shoulder, I saw a tall thin man, dressed in black with a tall black hat, he held his head down fasing the bridge. When I reached the top of the hill above the bridge from the rebel positions he was gone. I was soo sad walking around that place and picturing all of those dead Americans sadly lost in the corn fields of that battle..
Still our costliest war.
Thanks for the pictures, Goldman.
Awesome pictures, some of the best I've ever seen on this forum. It's always cool to see pictures as old as the ones posted.
