When
I first started visiting Gettysburg (23 years ago!) the Copse / High Water Mark
was a lot more “impressive” than it is now. Actually, seeing how full and alive
it used to look (at least to me as a kid) is sad compared to the way it looks
now. Still, knowing its history makes up for the lack of aestheticism. At far
left is the 106TH Pennsylvania monument with its distinctive drums on top, and
to the right is the Nicholas Codori farm and the 69TH Pennsylvania. The object
at far left, standing out in the field, isn’t a ghost . . . it’s someone’s
tripod. :-)
**HONORED TODAY**
PVT. JOHN LOGAN WELLS,
SR.
Co. E/H, 18TH
North Carolina Infantry
Born 1831 --- Died July
03, 1863 at age 32
Pvt.
Wells’ enlistment in July 1862 left behind a wife, Kate, and two little
children, Martha A. (born 1859) and John Logan, Jr. (born 1861). Unfortunately,
besides family info, little seems to be known of him.
