This blog grew out of my "Down Da Road I Go Blog," which was originally to be about stuff I was interested in, music and what I was doing. There was so much history and Civil War entries, I spun two more off. Starting Jan. 1, 2012, I will be spinning a Naval blog off this one called "Running the Blockade."

Gettysburg's General Gibbon's Witness Tree
From the May 27, 2008, Gettysburg Daily.
This might be the only remaining "witness tree" along the center of the Union line on Cemetery Ridge.
Legend has it that Union Brigadier General John Gibbon was wounded near it during Pickett's Charge on July 3, 1863.
Sadly, it doesn't appear to have many years left to live.
