This is another unusual monument IMO. Notice the "posts" holding the fencing in place around the monument -- dad-gummed biggest Minie balls I've ever seen. (and the real thing was big enough!) The gent in the picture is looking across towards The Corn Field. It is still farmed and yes, sometimes they find somebody from that day so long ago. A proper burial follows in the National Cemetery outside the town. Casualties for both sides were between 23K and 24K for both sides: KIA, MIA, and wounded. The single bloodiest day of the war and a day that changed European perceptions about the progress of the war: No clear winners; Lee retreated; the northern armies could hold their own. That was enough for Lincoln and his plans to announce the Emancipation Proclamation on the heels of a Union victory thus widening the goals of the war. Enjoy; thanks for viewing. We are almost done here for now. We plan to revisit when the weather is a tad nicer.
