Battles at Gettysburg

One of the biggest thrills of my journey to Gettysburg had to be witnessing the annual Gettysburg Civil War battle reenactment, held every year on the Fourth of July weekend. Featuring five separate battles, live mortar fire demonstrations, including 13,000 reenactors in full Civil War garb, 500 mounted canons and a slew of tents in Sutler Village featuring continuous programs, these reenactments are authentic and inspirational, giving everyone viewing them and participating a real idea of what it must have been like to actually be there 146 years ago.

Hi, my name is Kelly and I want to say first that I am in love with your art work; they are all amazingly beautiful, and inspirational to me. I am writing because I plan on writing an extended essay based on critical analysis of some of your works and I would love to briefly discuss your work in order to elaborate on your personal analysis of your work and to obtain your opinion about the overall topic and ideas for my paper. I understand this is not the most appropriate venue for gaining contact but I could not find anywhere else where I could establish contact without being a media outlet. I would really appreciate a short email correspondence about your work. My email is kidzwerk@aol.com Thanks!
