Editors Letter
The dog days of summer are once again upon us in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. We at The Gettysburg Experience magazine hope to help make your last month of summer a memorable one. There are many events going on in August -- be sure to check out our updated Calendar of Events.
Biography is the essence of history, and the story of the people who came before us is our regular theme. Read about James Gettys, the founder of Gettysburg, who was born not too far from Gettysburg in the month of August in 1759. Actor Stephen Lang, who portrayed General Pickett in the movie Gettysburg, recently came to town, sat down with me and 
talked about his visit. So many people who fought in the battle are nameless, mostly numbers listed as casualties of the battle. Read about one of them, and the family who mourned him, in His Only Heritage. Michael Dreese offers A Vast Hospital, about the aftermath and the people who endured it.
There would be no Gettysburg Experience without them. We hope you enjoy the latest edition of the Gettysburg Experience, a part of historic Gettysburg since 1997! Sincerely,
Diana Loski, Editor
