from the 1910s....never been to Gettysburg...actually never been to any Civil War sites....have been to Galena Illinois quite a few times though which is where Grant lived and they have a balcony at the hotel draped where Lincoln gave a speech once.....i think, if i recall correctly, something like 8 or 9 Civil War Generals came from Galena.....Galena is a great place to visit---haven't been there in over 20 years and i bet about the only thing that has changed is now you see website addresses....most of the downtown and lots of houses in the city are historic....beautiful place....
