The Battle of Gettysburg is undoubtedly the most famous of all Civil War Battles. The reasons for that are varied. It was the High Water Mark of the Confederates push into Northern territory. It was three-days of horror where some 50,000 soldiers died, nearly as many as died in the entire sixteen year Vietnam War. The sleepy town of Gettysburg was thrust into the center of that horrific battle and for that presence in history, it is now surrounded by The Gettysburg National Military Park and National Cemetery. So Please make arrangement to visit Gettysburg's New Attractions

"Battle for the Fairfield Road?"

As told by Josiah Kepner, My cousin David Stoops was inducted into Company G of the 209th Pa Volunteers in Adams County to the Civil War about a year after the battle of Gettysburg, Josiah's stories will focus around the local historical record. I hope you enjoy them. They may be a bit slow coming as I research them.

Please......Stay Tuned Here is some more of the story... next the retreat through the Fairfield area on July 4th

After we went back and finished hid'n ol' Bessie we was plum tuckered out but we was so excited by the hellish fight we had seen we couldn't wait to tell everyone we'd seen about it. As the day wore on we heard that the Rebs was camped just outside of Fairfield towards the gap. Of course our parents told us to not go away from the house cause we could get caught up in trouble, for awhile we jest kept talking with each other bout it and we convinced ourselves it would be okay to kinda sneak through the woods towards where we heard they was camped. We was being as quiet as we could jest like we was hunt'n we could smell the smoke of the campfires and hear the noise of the Rebs. We got close enuff that we could hear em play'n banjo music and sing'n a song called Ol' Brown Rosy. They seemed like they was happy and was being loud and bragg'n bout how many men they'd killed and how they was proud they sent them no good Yanks to hell and the rest hightailed it away from the battle with their tales tween their legs. We got tired of lay'n in the woods and snuck back home. It didn't seem like much to us we was just happy we didn't get our tails licked for not listenin'.
