so skipping ahead again to gettysburg. we see a current image of the regimental monument there in the meadow along spangler spring and then a second image kind of taken from the right of that monument looking towards mcalister's woods so on july 1st 1863 the 12th corps will finally arrive near gettysburg near the base of culpes hill, but they are arriving too late to take place in the fighting that began north of town that morning. at this point the 27th. indiana is not fully recovered from battles such as antietam and they're down to about 339 men with rankin now serving as a sergeant company a as we move into july 2nd. the 12th. corps is going to move towards culp's hill and begin assuming defensive positions there the 27th, indiana and their brigade are going to be set up in mcalister's woods as you see in that second photograph with the 27th, indiana kind of towards the back facing towards rock creek. and there they're going to kind of dig in and remain for most of the day, but for those of you familiar with the second

i talk about memory gettysburg. there's just so much that you can do gettysburg in a way that you can't do it in. i don't know where i mean, there are a lot of monuments that chickamauga a lot of shiloh a lot at vicksburg quite a few hours just at antietam a couple of weeks ago but antietam and no way compares to what you could do it gettysburg. i mean, it just isn't even close. well, i know when i worked at richmond national battlefield park, of course people would come all the time and be astonished by how few monuments we had was three or four in the entire park with so many people and people would say, you know, doesn't that, you know impede upon our ability to understand, you know, history and memory and other people would say, well, it's great that there aren't any any monuments because they can, you know, give a false history or portrayal of the history at least and of course both both sides have very true history, right that true history that everybody has in their own mind, but the true history is which of

obviously in gettysburg. but again, i don't know how wide his marketing was while he was in camp. so with the ninth massachusetts, it's probably people that he knew or people around him and it would have a smaller a smaller interest group because this is the ninth, massachusetts unless you just appreciated his his artwork which of course there may be people like that as well again, the gettysburg map may have had more distribution because there were more more units involved so i don't know you don't think that he was sending them home to his mother saying, you know help me get these into the papers or help me give this a more public audience. it was just kind of whoever did whatever with his his sketches that were being sent home in disseminated to the friends and family of comrades such. that's just where they lay. he wasn't trying to necessarily make his his artwork a more public thing at that time. well, i don't know if he's trying to make it as much of a public thing. now there may be that and to be hones

the memorial hall resides in gettysburg.there talked away in middle street white between two buildings who, or if they might have some ideas, they just think those kind of stuffing buildings with queens monument stashed in front of it. which obviously, it had to pertain to the battle in some way, shape or form but not really knowing what's inside or wet the different uses of that building were. so, i had to like for you guys to kind of comment on how this obsession with monuments as kind of the singular form of civil war veteran memory has obscured so much of what has been, what was a core part of veteran life. meeting in these memorial halls, whether it's for the speeches or for these plays, which i found that part fascinating about these performances that took place in those halls. as well as the display of -- but kind of a two part question for that, it's a question that we got entering our discussion from gettysburg national military park itself. wondering, how do we talk about the veteran experience, how do we interpret

why did the eisenhower's retire to gettysburg? >> that's a complicated question. the eisenhower family settled originally in pennsylvania when they came from germany. so the eisenhower family actually settled near where the gettysburg farm is currently. when eisenhower went to gettysburg early in his military career, he really felt a connection to it. i believe it was just sort of a comfort. it was close enough to washington that while he was president he could go back and forth with ease. he really loved it there. he felt at home. >> can you talk a little bit more about mamie's causes? can you give us more insight on mamie? >> let's see where my ramblings take us. mamie had some health issues for her whole life. both she and ike had heart problems. so during the presidency, she became very, very involved with the american heart association. during her war, when ike was in europe, she volunteered at different wartime volunteer opportunities. mamie was really interested in people. she loved people. she would get a lot of letters. frankly, she would try to answer al
