Day 72 - Gettysburg Town, Lutheran Church

This was one of the first town buildings that became a temporary hospital during the first day of the battle. A Union Chaplin was mistaken as a regular officer and shot dead on these steps by a confederate soldier. The memorial on the steps is for that Chaplin.
