If you have never been to Gettysburg and have a chance to go, go. I found distant relatives that died there. Although I am from Ohio the family came from Pa. 3 generations ago. My distant cousin was found on the Pennsylvania memorial.
Gettysburg is representative of a very interesting historical period.

I also share your gusto about visiting this site......they really bring the battle and the time to life.
