Well, I am back in York, PA looking to expand my presence in the historic district. Tomorrow is when the fun begins. I am traveling back to Gettysburg via the Lincoln Highway. I hope to visit Devil's Den and Little Round Top, both of which I missed when I visited on September 10, 2010. I think I have created about 400 waymarks for this Civil War town so far and have my eye on another 400. I am trying to create a definitive on line resource for travelers and history buffs/novices like myself. With the 150th anniversary of the Civil War upon us, I think this is perfect timing.
I was able to post in so many of my favorite categories which include:
02. American Civil War Monuments and Memorials
03. NRHP Historic Districts - Contributing Bldgs
04. Specific Veteran Memorials
05. Smithsonian Art Inventory Sculptures
06. Relief Art Sculptures
07. Static Artillery Displays
08. American Guide Series
09. Statues of Historic Figures
10. Photos Then and Now
11. Signs of History
12. U.S. Civil War Sites
13. Wikipedia Entries
14. Abraham Lincoln
I can certainly cross this off my bucket list. Can you cross it off yours?
Stay Tuned.....
There is a 'Devil's Den' in Pattaya, but I am not sure if they are related. 150 years anniversary, that could be interesting. Your photograph reminds me just how difficult it is to photograph a statue. Invariably black, against a brighter background.
ReplyDeleteJust curious -- will you be attending the Gettysburg Sesquicentennial this July?
ReplyDeleteAlthough I am not as prolific as you (*smiling*), I have waymarked the Civil War around VA and followed the sesquicentennial through the Battle of Fredericksburg and this year, Chancellorsville and Brandy Station (en route to Gettysburg). Will I continue to follow to Gettysburg? I don't know yet, but would love to.
