The two-hour documentary will focus on the stories of 8 'grunts' representing both the Union and Confederate armies. It airs at 9:00 p.m. ET, and kicks off an entire week of civil war themed programming on the History Channel. Any true patriot, and supporter of veterans, should be watching. BTW-If you visit the battlefield during the next couple of days, you may bump into a woman in a wig and uber-casual clothing to disguise her true identity. Sarah Palin showed up in Baltimore today, and says she is sometimes appearing at certain public landmarks 'incognito' to avoid the press/crowds. She is on her way to Philadelphia next, and legend has it she will tour a certain Civil War battlefield first. We would never vote for her for president, but make her the Secretary of Cool Interior Roadtrips-she seems like a cooler American lady rather than adequate international politician. That is actually a compliment in our book.WE PLAN TO TAKE THE NEXT EXAM TO BECOME A LICENSED GETTYSBURG BATTLEFIELD GUIDE NEXT YEAR-WE HAVE EMBRACED ALMOST EVERY PORTION OF THE SPRAWLING RIDGES OF HELL. AS WE WATCH "GETTYSBURG" ABOUT TO FOCUS ON PICKETT'S CHARGE, WE CAN'T HELP BUT NOTICE THE OMISSION OF THE WORK OF MAINE'S JOSHUA CHAMBERLAIN, WHO HELD THE FAR LEFT FLANK ON LITTLE ROUND TOP WITH A FINAL DOWNHILL BAYONET CHARGE {MONUMENT TO THE 20TH MAINE IS PICTURED THIRD FROM TOP}. HOWEVER, WE WERE PLEASED TO NOTE THE ATTENTION PAYED TO THE OTHER BLOODBATH THAT OCCURED ON THE FAR RIGHT FLANK AT CULP'S HILL, WHERE MARYLAND MEN KILLED AND THEN TENDED TO THEIR STATE BROTHERS. THE TOP TWO PICTURES SHOW PORTIONS OF CULP'S HILL, INCLUDING THE MONUMENT TO EASTERN SHORE OF MARYLAND MEN. IF YOU GET THE CHANCE TO VISIT CULP'S HILL, THE OVERGROWTH HAS RECLAIMED THE GROUND, AND IF YOU VEER ONTO ONE OF THE WALKING TRAILS DOWN THE SLOPE IT STILL OFFERS A VERY SPIRITUAL, HAUNTED PRESENCE. TO SIT ALONG THE BREASTWORKS THERE AND ON THE BACK SLOPE OF LITTLE ROUDTOP WILL MAKE THE HAIR STAND UP ON YOUR ARMS WHEN/AFTER THE SUN SETS. OUR VISIT THERE A FEW WEEKS AGO ALLOWED US TO BE ALONE AT NIGHT IN THESE TWO LOCATIONS. WE BECAME SO FREAKED OUT NEAR THE MAINE MONUMENT THAT WE ACTUALLY RETREATED AFTER THINGS BECAME DARK AND STILL AND THE SPIRITS SEEMINGLY STEEPED THROUGH THE TREES AND ROCKS. HALLOWED GROUND, INDEED {SEE OUR PHOTOS AT THE FAR LEFT MARKER IN OUR 'STRAIGHT TRIPPIN' LINK BELOW}. BTW-IF YOU PUT YOUR CURSOR ON ANY OF OUR PICTURES AND CLICK, THE PHOTO ENLARGES IN ORDER THAT YOU MAY READ THE SCRIPT ON THE MONUMENTS BETTER.
