An Author

Steve Fratt of the 1st Illinois Battalion has authored an article titled, "The Guns of Gettysburg". It compares the artillery at G-burg with the French artillery at Waterloo. It is an interesting piece and well worth a look. It appears in the Volume 7, Number 5 issue of North & South magazine.

Below is a site to the Library of Congress Photos collection from the
Civil War. Kurt Loewe thought it would be of interest to members of the guard.  He got it from the Authentic Campaigner's website, which in itself is a good site.
