  1. In July of 2008, a good friend and I went to Gettysburg to participate in the 145th anniversary reenactment. Afterward we toured the battlefield, in particular those parts were our ancestors in the 52nd North Carolina fought. Upon leaving, we went to Cashtown and not only got to see the inn, we ate dinner there. The perfect way to say goodbye to Gettysburg.

  2. My ancestors served in Hill's Corps in the 52nd North Carolina Infantry. I think Gen. Hill should be reinterred in Culpepper as was his wish.

  3. At least 3 of my ancestors were in the attack that day with the 52nd North Carolina of Pettigrew's Brigade. One was captured, one wounded and captured and one made it back to Seminary Ridge only to be captured at Falling Waters several days later.

  4. I had at least 3 ancestors that were in the charge with the 52nd North Carolina in Pettigrew's Brigade. One was captured and died of disease shortly after being exchanged. One was wounded in the right arm and captured. After losing his arm he was exchanged and discharged. One made it back to Seminary Ridge only to be captured On July 14 at Falling Waters as the army was crossing the Patomac.

  5.  @ronaldlollis8895  Yes sir they did. You really don't know how much until you look at the individual records in Jordan's Roster. My ancestors were in Company D and when you read over the individual records, July 3 keeps popping up over and over.

  6. On special occasions, park volunteer Scott Culclasure does an outstanding guided tour of the battlefield.

  7. Seems like when I was at Gettysburg in 2008, the Thompson house was being used to sell souvenirs.

  9. Generals Pettigrew and Trimble were wounded and Trimble was captured in the July 3 attack. Pettigrew was mortally wounded at Falling Waters and Trible spent the rest of the was as a prisoner.

  10. I wonder if those Richmond newspapers mentioned anything about Brockenbrough's Virginia Brigade breaking? In 2008, I was a private in the 26th North Carolina reenactment unit taking part in the 145th reenactment and remember seeing the flag of the Garibaldi Guards across the field before the charge.
