The McPherson barn sits in the fog as a timeless sentinel, its environs hidden in a thick veil of misty silence. The trees of Reynolds’ Woods can be vaguely seen, but all else --- monuments, fields, and visitors alike --- are hidden within the fog. You haven’t truly experienced Gettysburg until you’ve traipsed around the field on a foggy morning. Not only will you be enveloped in an ambiance that can’t be replicated, but you’re also likely to see wildlife, deer in particular, taking advantage of natural cover.
**HONORED TODAY**
PVT. JOHN O’BANION
Born November 01, 1830
--- Died July 02, 1863 at age 32
Co. D, 48TH
Georgia Infantry
Pvt.
O’Banion was married to Patsy and had a young son, Claudius or Clovis who was
only 7 years old when his father was killed in battle. A soldier’s burial
awaited John, and he’s believed to rest at Waynesboro Confederate Memorial
Cemetery in Waynesboro, Georgia, though this may be only a cenotaph.
