Gettysburg Day 2 – The Advantage of Moving Down The Hill

Gettysburg Day 2 – Worst Ground I Ever Seen

There was an interesting interlude in which CV was quizzing Mr. Mullally about the Irish immigrant experience in America. That was kind of odd since that is my heritage, not his.
The Irish Brigade had a really bad day in the Wheatfield which changed hands several times. Mr. Mullally and I hunted out some regimental markers, which General Buford had told me to be on the look-out for.
CV and I ate the rations we had carried as we were in line for the shuttle bus for our trip to Little Round Top. CV thought we had done enough walking by then. Little Round Top is my next post.

Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging one’s affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
