I am a dog tent civil war gettysburg

Dear :viewer



Here I stand a Dog tent Gettysburg July 1863. Under me stands Soldiers and doctors. Here is were I witness the most sick and painful events. Sounds of loud screaming as if the pain is unbearable. These men have “the luck of Cain”. There it is the smell of rotted human body or animal. Watching over during this war I witness Amputation being performed or done. Arms legs, toes any limb or body part being separated form the human body. It is the most bloody and dangerous thing I have ever witnessed. My thoughts was this war is destroying the confederates. The tools they had used for amputation look like knives and swords, very sharp objects. These men were frightened by theses weapons and the pain they felt.

Mcpherson woods civil war gettysburg

Dear: viewer


I am the McPherson woods. Day one of the battle between Union soldiers and a bunch of jonny’s both of the rivals had accouterments ready for war. Were I stand July 1, 1863 in the background standing strong witnessing the two armies began to collide in my town of Gettysburg. It was the most or largest amount of human soldiers left dead in my eyes. By the second day of this war most of both armies had assembled. Across the battlefield despite significant losses. The Union defenders held their lines dressed in homespun looking uniforms. On the third day of this battle as I watch from all angles they resume fighting Culp’s hill. Between 46,000 and 51,000 Americans lay dead in front of me. The smell of a dead cat or bad food. The blood scatters all over my fresh green leaves and blood pour into my soil.
