Autumn's Flat Stanley in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania!

I had lots of questions about General Farnsworth after having dinner at the Farnsworth house last night. So Ginny took me to see the site of the ill fated Calvary charge where he was killed. The confederate army was on the hill above the field Farnsworth 's Calvary attempted to cross. The field is strewn with boulders so it was difficult to charge across the field on horseback . Here is a photo of the field.

 General Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain was originally a professor of literature at Bowdoin college in Brunswick Maine. He volunteered to join the Union Army.
General Chamberlain is remembered for leading the bayonet charge in defense of Little Round Top at the battle of Gettysburg.
It was one of the turning points of the battle that helped the Union Army defeat the Confederate Army at Gettysburg.
Here are some photos from Little Round Top.
