Mustang Club of Maryland

One of these years, Linda and I would love to make this cruise. It looks like a whole lot of fun.

The Gettysburg Cruise was huge success for the club in many ways. We had a fantastic turnout, great weather and a terrific tour guide in Scott Robinson. Scott who is a Civil War Historian and a Civil War re-enactor, had a well planned tour for the club with an interesting behind the scenes look at the battles that took place in Gettysburg 150 years ago.

All of us came away with a new appreciation for the physical and emotional demands of the soldiers during these battles. The uniforms they wore were woolen and the temperatures were in the high 80's with humidity. They carried a lot of personal gear and the rifles they used required a lot of work to fire just one shot at a time. Many of the Union Officers were not really military leaders but rather teachers and other educated people who were given rank and responsibility due to their education. Some of these men learned to become leader while others were in way over their heads.

There was a lot of dying during the battles at Gettysburg as the Civil War was the bloodiest in US History. Scott really personalized the stories so that we could gain an appreciation of the hardships these soldiers had to endure at Gettysburg. Today, 150 years after the battles and after Lincoln's famous Gettysburg Address, people still come to this hallowed ground to pay their respects to the brave soldiers of both armies who died for their causes.

Here are the photos documenting this wonderful cruise and once again a hearty thanks to Scott Robinson who dressed for the occasion in his Confederate Uniform. Scott also showed us some of the historic rifles used during the Civil War out of his personal collection. For those who could not make the cruise I hope that these photos will help tell you the story.

The first set of photos takes place at the parking lot at the Westminster Mall in front of Belk's.

These are the last of my photos so I hope that you enjoy them as much as I and Clark enjoyed taking them!
