Fall Sunday Afternoon Program – October 27, 2024

LBG Phil Musket’s 27 October 2024: “Wait a little, we will all be going in shortly.”  

General Longstreet spoke those words to Brig Gen Barksdale on the afternoon of July 2, 1863.  Barksdale’s men had been under severe artillery fire for over an hour. Barksdale was confident he could take those guns in five minutes. Once released by Lt Gen Longstreet, that Mississippi brigade would advance over a mile and fight over some of the most famous ground at Gettysburg. The Sherfy Farm, The Peach Orchard, The Trostle Farm and the Codori Thicket.
