It is good to see that the National Park Service and the people at Gettysburg are working to give a more complete picture of the war and how it affected ALL of the people in the area. More than just those fighting were impacted by not only this battle but by the entire war.
I had visited Gettysburg a number of times when I saw what was then a new sign pointing out the Bryan’s were black. It was an eye opener that African-Americans were an important part of the history of the Civil War!
Thanks for the update on a great addition to the signage near the North Carolina monument!
This is awesome! My wife and I will make it a point to go and look at this new Wayside marker next time we go to Gettysburg. Which will likely be in al couple of weeks… we live in Baltimore and go frequently.
This is excellent. I always remember hearing you once talk about the soldier in the NC state monument pointing off into the distance, and the irony that he is pointing almost directly at where the Bryan farm stood. Every time I visit, I remember that and share it with whomever is standing close.
This is great! It’s so good to see that work that is being done in this regard.

No thanks necessary, but you are most welcome.

You just made my day, Brian. Thank you.
This is an important step to bringing the emancipation legacy of the war to the fore of Civil War battlefields. Need much more of this.
