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.

717-339-2161 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.

A Series of Evening Walks

The Association of Licensed Battlefield Guides announces a series of evening ‘Walks Through History’ on the Gettysburg battlefield to be offered throughout the summer. Held on Tuesday evenings from June 5 – September 4, each tour will focus on a specific topic such as a particular unit, part of the battle, or personality; a few of the tours require significant cross-country walking, while others are less physically challenging.
