Gettysburg And Our Heroes

Did you know that the fate of the United States once depended on a box of cigars?

Even previous to the ultimate failure of the original attempted invasion of the U.S. by Confederate forces during the American Civil War, the Maryland Campaign, General Robert E. Lee planned for a subsequent try. In September of 1862, General Lee drew up Special Order 191, detailing the campaign for an invasion of Pennsylvania. Copies were circulated to Lee's subordinates and one copy was placed in an envelope along with three cigars. The Confederate courier trusted to transport the parcel misplaced it during his journey, and it was subsequently found by a corporal of the 27th Indiana Volunteers.

When General Lee's soldiers rode into Gettysburg in July of 1863, Union armed forces were ready for them. Although the Battle of Gettysburg was not thought of as decisive at the time, in retrospect it was a tipping point in American history. Afterwards, the Confederacy was forced to combat a defensive war, in which it was eventually defeated two blood soaked years later.

A place to honor the soldiers without glorifying the war itself, Gettysburg is one of the leading destinations for Civil War history buffs, featuring historic re-enactments, monuments and graveyards for those on both sides who died for the causes in which they believed, and celebrations of regional culture that have been part of this area of the Quaker State since it was first settled in the 1770s. One of the prevalent cabin rentals that has been in business since that time is the Dobbin House Tavern. You can have a meal in their restaurant while experiencing life during the mid-19th Century including authentic period dishes and recipes.

Gettysburg also has its share of romantic travel inns as well as historic hotels. The Gettysburg Hotel has operated consistantly since 1797 and is within walking distance of the site of the battle.

As you should expect, Gettysburg has its fair share of ghosts and a plethora of haunted places that include at least one B and B. Ghost tours are one of the most common activities among tourists. And although rail service to Gettysburg ended in 1942, the local railroad station continues to function as a rail museum. Train buffs won't want to miss it.

Civil War history is not all that Gettysburg has to submit, however, it is also residence to the Eisenhower National Historic Site, the cattle ranch where President Dwight D. Eisenhower went to elude the sizeable pressures of Cold War politics throughout his term of office.

The county in which Gettysburg is located is also right next door to Pennsylvania's famed Amish Country, home to a culture and society that has successfully resisted transformation for hundreds of years. These friendly individuals embrace visits from the "English", as they call the rest of us, so be sure to drop over and say hello. By the way, if an Amish says "You look plain," take it as a compliment as it is high praise.
