Of course you don't but let me tell you . . .
There were 72,000 horses and mules that 'fought' in the battle of Gettysburg. By fought I mean they were there. Either as a cavalry unit, pulling cannons, pulling ambulances, etc. At the end of the Gettysburg battle, 5000 of them lay dead on the field. WOW.
Our busy life with an amazing veterinarian and cattleman, a gardening, quilting and history loving wife and mother, a creative perfectionist violinist, a spunky and kind epileptic princess, a sweet yet wild little man, and the most mellow and happy babe, on a joyful 1/2 acre living and loving in a beautiful mountain valley.

Must have been a BIG field...
I did not know that. That seems so impossible.
Hey I've got some great shows for you to watch on your kick if you haven't seen them(I must say though that I haven't seen them for a really long time but I'm sure they're great).

The Blue and the Gray
Glory

I don't have the movies-- but I remember waiting impatiently to watch the next bit every night. I loved them all.
Been there several times to gettysburg it was about an hour away where we lived. So were so many battefields in Va. Gettysburg,PA. has a big viewing tower and hundreds of acres of rolling green fields and many graves and a few museums.Pretty cool place to visit.
