Editors Letter
As the anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg approaches, those of us at The Gettysburg Experience are eager to bring you the 157th issue of our publication in historic Adams County, Pennsylvania. We never run out of ideas for articles for the magazine, because there are so many compelling stories to share from the Colonial era through the 20th century that happened in and around the village of Gettysburg.
For July, we commemorate the final part of the epic battle that occurred here with "Our Bravest Men: Remembering Pickett's Charge." Author Susan Fair recently interviewed historian and preservationist Robert Lee Hodge. The result is "Robert Lee Hodge's Gettysburg". "How I Dread Tomorrow! Gettysburg Neighbors Recall the Battle" by Enrica D'Alessandro, and "Our Fervent Hope: Echoes of the Last Reunion", tells the touching story of benevolence by the once opposing soldiers right here in Gettysburg, for the 75th Reunion in 1938.
We also have chronicled for you an updated Calendar of Events. There is always something going on here, and especially in July. Many are free and all are family friendly.
As we embark on our 14th year in the publishing business, we want to thank our many readers, and also our many advertisers. We receive no other funding, so without them,we just wouldn't be here. Be sure to stop in their places of business -- as they, too, are an important part of Gettysburg.
Sincerely,
Diana Loski, Editor
