• Gettysburg (PA)
  • Na polach bitewnych ustawiono wiele pomników upamiętniających dowódców i jednostki wojskowe obu walczących stron.



    "A cloud possessed the hollow field,

    The gathering battle's smoky shield:

    Athwart the gloom the lightning flashed,

    And through the cloud some horsemen dashed,

    And from the heights the thunder pealed.

    Then, at the brief command of Lee,

    Moved out that matchless infantry,

    With Pickett leading grandly down,

    To rush against the roaring crown

    Of those dread heights of destiny

    .Far heard above the angry guns

    A cry across the tumult runs,--

    The voice that rang from Shilo's woods

    And Chickamauga's solitudes,

    The fierce South cheering on her sons!"



    (Will Henry Thompson)
