​The Battle of Gettysburg: Stories of Fatal Encounters ​

Picture
"Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime. Ask the infantry, and ask the dead." Ernest Hemingway
PictureRobert "Bob" Gale. Bob travels the country in pursuit of photographing the graves of historic people. He was kind enough to contribute photos for this site.
With the help of my fellow Battlefield Guide, Robert "Bob" Gale, we hope to share some accounts of the dead from Gettysburg. Many will be killed on the field but others will linger for days and months succumbing to their wounds.  Bob has amassed a large collection of photographs of graves of Civil War soldiers. He has travelled throughout the United States in search of these. We will, on these pages, bring you the stories of some of those that were killed or ultimately died from their wounds.
