I’m
particularly fond of photos with various points of interest, and this one is no
exception. From left to right we have Gen. Lee’s headquarters/Mary Thompson
house, Stewart’s Battery B, 4TH U.S. Artillery, the post-battle
Lutheran Theological Seminary chapel, and the famous Old Dorm cupola. It was a
perfect November day, as seen by the bright blue sky, though with the kind of
wind that cuts straight through to the bone and makes you wish you hadn’t
left your nice warm coat in the car!
