Gettysburg 2008 Part 2

As I was laying in bed last night, I realized I forgot to mention 2 points from my first night. First, I was wearing my Third Maine tee shirt when I registered on Thursday night. While in line a tall gentleman turned to me and offered his hand.."I'm Chamberlain, Joshua Chamberlain, also from Maine". What a surprise that was...turns out that I was standing next to a famous man!




The second point was Sutlers row. Now I know you might find it hard to believe, but I was drown...no compelled to go shopping. I was startled to find so many sutlers and shocked to see some of the non period items and inflated prices. Of course I still managed to purchase some items on my daily visits!
