5.00Our National Park Service Guide was excellent. He held our attention throughout the two hour tour of Gettysburg Battlefield. He gave factual information on maneuvers, what the various commanders were responsible for, and how the enlisted men fared. His incisive anecdotes about the generals and others in command positions were very helpful in explaining why different parts of the three day battle happened as they did. It was one of the best narratives ever on this horrific battle that left so many dead, injured and captured on both sides. A positive nod to our bus driver— she handled the bus very calmly and well.
