Of
all the barn windows I’ve seen in Gettysburg, these are some of my favorites.
They belong to the Daniel Lady barn on Hanover Road just outside of town,
constructed c. 1842. I especially like the top window with its “rising sun”
motif. What could we see through these windows if we had the opportunity to
climb that high? The farm is open to visitors at select times, but for much of
the time visitors have to use their imaginations.

wounds only a few days after the battle had ended, and little is known of his life in general.
