"Then and Now" Pictures and Stories of The Gettysburg Battlefield

​​As I visit Gettysburg almost daily it was William Frassanito's exceptional book Gettysburg A Journey In Time that changed how I look at the landscape of Gettysburg. Stone walls, boulders and rocks and the lay of the land take on a different meaning. These features are now landmarks to be used today to locate historic locations recorded in photographs as well as postcards. To me it is a thrill to rediscover a location that was photographed many years ago. When finding the location of these photographs one can see the changes or limited changes in the landscape. Walls have collapsed or have become lower, trees have grown or fallen and other changes in the landscape show us how the battlefield has evolved. Or find where historic people have stood and walked the battlefield. Take a few minutes and compare the "Then and Now" of Gettysburg. 

I wish to share with you some of these "Then" historic images and the "Now" photographs so you can see the changes for yourself. See the drop down for new places and also see the drop down for many "Then and Now's" I placed on my original site Gettysburg Sculptures.com.
