South along
Seminary Ridge is the Louisiana Memorial. This is a spectacular scene.
An angel's musical love for a dead Confederate soldier. Maddie was
also touched by the soft mystic chord. There is something about
walking around the ground. You get that airy feeling that something
happened here that was guided by Divine Providence. I don't know but I
feel it every time I go there. Maybe that is why President
Eisenhower bought his farm just to the west of this spot.

I strongly
recommend taking your family here instead of Disney World. Adults and
Children can experience a real world event. Although the action was
130+ yrs. ago we all need that connection. A movie can not do it.
Books help somewhat. Come to Gettysburg, go on a tour, walk the
fields, and feel the new birth of Freedom. (you need
about three days)
