Ha, I was wondering Steve how long it would take you to find this thread

.

@ TS, you're a lucky guy, I really want to do the Gettsburg trip

, escpecially since I do the Civil War reenacting.

I always reflect on this battle this time of year. What a price for freedom! I find it very interesting to talk CW with Southerners, it makes for a lively discussion

. I love debating the most critical part of the battle.

Was it:
1. Day one, stalling the Southern advance.
2. 1st Minnesota charging in the Weatfield. (2nd Day)
3. 20th Maine holding the Little Round top (2nd Day)
4 High Water Mark (Pickett's Charge) 3rd Day)
5. JEB Stuart not showing up til late in the battle (no accurate intel for Lee)
6. All the resources sank in to Culp's Hill.

What do you think? One thing is for sure, Sailor Steve will have no opinion on this subject.:rotfl: . Well maybe just a small opinion.
