I finished another digital page. This is from a new book I started. I know, I haven't finished the other one yet, but I was inspired by my recent trip. This book is all about the Michigan Monuments at Gettysburg. We found 9 of 10 of them. And the one we didn't find was more a flank marker than an actual monument. So its all good! The first page is the first monument we found: the 24th MI Infantry.

This layout is of the monument for the 24th Michigan Infantry at Gettysburg, PA. The 24th Michigan was part of the famed "Iron Brigade" who were known for wearing the black "Hardee" hat instead of the regular issue kepi. At Gettysburg on July 1, 1863 the 24th MI suffered the highest percentage of loss of any unit engaged at Gettysburg. Of the 493 men who started the battle, only 99 reported for duty the next day. That is an 80% casualty rate. They fought bravely and with honor. The words on this page are from the dedication ceremony in June 1889. It is a fitting tribute the state of Michigan has given to the men of the 24th who gave their lives for the cause of freedom. I did use some elements in this layout that I downloaded, but at this time don't have the names to give credit to the creators. I will try to look them up later and add them.

Yep, this was a "Preferred View" 1 bedroom unit. We usually get "Boardwalk View" but this was a really nice alternate view.
I suppose I really should get around to adding the journaling some day.

I did a couple more digital layouts.

The first is from my Michigan at Gettysburg book: the 16th Michigan Infantry

The 16th Michigan Infantry was part of Strong Vincent's brigade at Gettysburg whose task it was to defend Little Round Top. Little Round is quite steep and rocky. The 16th Michigan monument is located on the edge and difficult to get to. With the help of the brave men of the 16th MI the Union army was able to push the Confederates back and avoid defeat. The words on the page come from the dedication ceremony on June 12, 1889.

This one is from my Antietam book: New York State Monument

This is my favorite monument at Antietam. One of my favorite photos is included in this layout, see if you can guess which one. One-fourth of the Union army at Antietam was from New York. The state of New York suffered 3,765 casualties during the battle. This is the largest monument on the battlefield. You can see it from many different parts of the field. It is an amazing monument.
