Each of us... April 24, 2012 10:30AM |
Each of us in his own way reads civil war history and, since we couldn't be there, see civil war battles in our minds eye. We read of the minies flying so thick that they sound like bees, trees so riddles with balls there is nothing left to support them, cannon fire lasting for 4 hours. But we just can't really imagine it.
I have been looking into making some small dioramas so I was sourcing materials and I ran across this. Apparently this was a diorama that at one time existed at Gettysburg but has since been moved since there was no room for it. It now resides at Mott’s Military Museum in Columbus, Ohio.
I thought I'd share these picture I found because they , to me, represent so many of the accounts I've read and have only visualized in my mind.
Pic #2 is of Pickett’s / Pettigrew’s / Trimble’s assault columns on the Union II Corps lines along Cemetery Ridge. The others are the struggle on Cemetery Ridge where Armistead's men penetrated the Union line.

Pretty neat Scott, I have been to this museum and it is Awesome, here are a few more pics from the museum April 24, 2012 11:19AM |
I have not seen the display you are talking about, but the museum is always adding new displays. I highly recommend The Mott's museum to anyone
who comes to Columbus Ohio. Mr. Mott told me one time he saw a fellow crying beside a Huey Helicopter and ask him if something was wrong. The fellow said the Warrant Officers name on the side of the Helicopter was his and that he lost several of his friends in Vietnam while serving in Vietnam. Boy talk about a first hand experience.
Great display you have shown us, just think of all the soldiers that were actually on that filed of battle 150 years ago.
