Happy 4th of July


Gettysburg Battlefield

That's me standing next to the memorial marker to the 19th Indiana Infantry Regiment, part of the Iron Brigade which fought from this point on the first day of the battle.  My Great-Great-Grandfather, William Murray was attached to this unit and was wounded here on this first day of battle.

Gettysburg was fought July 1-3, 1863. On the 4th the armies rested, treated their wounded and buried their dead.
