On my list of things to see. When I was a kid my grandmothers cousin lived just up the road and was in his 90s. Still sharp and I loved listening to his stories about the old days. Didn't find out until a few years after he died that his dad was in Picketts charge. Would have loved to have gotten a 2nd hand account That would have been cool. My paternal Grandmother’s Grandfather was there. Lost his leg there. She said he never spoke of it. I imagine most didn't talk about it. I knew grandpa was in the pacific in wwii but he never talked about battles, just guys he knew and the camaraderie. Year a two ago my son had to do a school report on a veteran so we researched his ship and found out it was sunk and they spent several days in life boats. Pawpaw never mentioned that The one I mentioned above lost two older brothers there. One of my Grandfather’s hit the Beach at Omaha. Never mentioned it once.
