You sure got close to the action for your post. I have seen this on TV, but your view is much better! Loving the bare feet on the cameraman :)
Funny you mention the bare feet, it actually ties in with why that battle took place in Gettysburg.
One of the big reasons Gen. Lee went there was to acquire some thing his army desperately needed....
Shoes !!
I never heard that before and now you have driven me to look it up! Thanks for stopping in and leaving your words behind!
#MarketFriday loves you!

The battle being over shoes is a way over simplification but the quest for supplies specifically shoes played a major part to the start of the battle, forcing Lee to abandon his original battle plan and engage the Union army piecemeal that first day instead of gathering his whole army together before engaging the Union forces
This is one of the better explanations of the "Shoe" story I have found.
