The Battle of Gettysburg

Finally, a battle with a decent report.  It is nice to hear of the Confederacy's defeat, and the Union's bravery, even though it leaves me exhausted from helping the wounded.  Lincoln's speech still brings tears to my eyes.  It is a self satisfactory work, working with the wounded, because the evidence of relief is amazing among the wounded.  My own heart was broken, but is mending with the help of wondrous friends and the helping of others.  I will continue to follow, not only the soldiers in their efforts, but the loyal Union.
