Today was day 2 of the Civil War Institute conference on the future of Civil War history in Gettysburg. It was a great day of lectures and discussions. Some very interesting themes and questions are developing. Among these are how different NPS sites interpret the battles or history that occurred there, as well as how to incorporate monuments and emancipation into battlefield interpretation in ways that will engage the next generation of historians. I will share more on here when the conference wraps up.
For now, enjoy what today's sunrise and sunset looked like from Gettysburg...
Sunrise from the Virginia Monument on Confederate Avenue this morning...
Sunset from Cemetery Ridge, with the marker indicating where Major General Winfield Scott Hancock was wounded on July 3, 1863, in the foreground...
