 Anyway, the Battle of Gettysburg happened 161 years ago today. And four months after that, on November 19th, Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address. If you ever get a chance to go to Gettysburg, it's a national site now, do it. They have really good history. Everything's there for you. Easy. Nice area. Check it out in the fall. Maybe third week in October, Gettysburg.
