Welcome to Litsy!

Last Christmas at the national botanical gardens they had the coolest display of #train station replicas made of wood and plants. #letstravelaugust

#BlackDayInJuly times three, this is one of the myriad of books published about the battle that arguably turned the ties of the American Civil War. I‘ve yet to read Sears‘ book, but can say that I‘ve had to replace copies of it over the years in my library system (which is in Gettysburg, hence the extreme popularity). #TimbitTunes

I live (and work) in an area very rich in history. One of the big tourist draws is this American Civil War battle - it's thanks to countless family Sunday drives that I became enchanted with history and this era. Now, I work in this town; the closeness to history still thrills me. There are times I just have to pause, take a deep breath, and reflect. #takesplacenearme #spookyoctober

Comprehensive but accessible description of the battle before/during/after.
