Day 71 - Gettysburg NBF, View across Picketts Charge
This is what the 12,000 Confederate troops were seeing as they prepared for their final assault on the union lines. The terrain is slightly uphill, but undulates (dips & rises). They were under fire the entire time.

Day 72 - Gettysburg Town, Lincoln & Friends
The statue on the left represents any visitor. The statue of Abe Lincoln is the exact height and stature and made from a life mask, so is quite realistic.

Day 72 - Gettysburg Town, Hotel
The signs say this was built in 1797, but that's a stretch. A hotel has been on this site since 1797, but has burned down three times - so this is NOT the original building...
