Thanks to the folks at The Cultural Approach to the Study of History based at Columbus State University http://culturalapproach.org/, I'll be able to visit Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and tour the Battlefield Park as well as the National Cemetery and make a quick stop in Harpers Ferry,
Virginia.
As the group tours, we will focus on the political, religious, aesthetic, intellectual, social, and economic aspects of the Battle of Gettysburg and Lincoln's speech.
I'm thrilled to be able to see the places I've learned and taught about the battle that is considered the turning point in the Civil War: Cemetery Ridge, The Wheat Field, Devil's Den, and Little Round Top. I plan to recite Lincoln's address while I'm at the National Cemetery. If all goes well, I'll upload it to http://www.learntheaddress.org/
I hope I can upload pics and info each night. Stay tuned!
