Why was the Gettysburg battle fought the way it was? Why did it flow the way
it did? The program will explore key decisions made by the various commanders
before the battle, during each of the three days, and after the battle. What
did they see? What did they know? What unexpected events transpired via the
“fog of war” that impacted their decisions? What other decisions might they
have made? During our field time we will visit key locations of each of the three days of battle to see the field the way the commanders saw it and attempt to understand why they made those decisions. The attendees will also be given the opportunity to ask those questions “they always wanted to know” about the strategic decisions made at the battle. www.gettysburgfoundation.org |

before the battle, during each of the three days, and after the battle. What
did they see? What did they know? What unexpected events transpired via the
“fog of war” that impacted their decisions? What other decisions might they
have made? During our field time we will visit key locations of each of the three days of battle to see the field the way the commanders saw it and attempt to understand why they made those decisions.
