Twilight at Little Round Top ( Gettysburg Civil War)




Well, I finally got my face out of that World world war 2 book and now I'm reading a Civil War book(...). It's about the Battle for Little Round top and Roung Top at Gettysburg. I'm nearly finished but not quite there yet. First of all why did the Confederates keep attackimg the same place? They were attacking the Union troops but not flanking. They also lacked good artilery support. This caused most of the Regiments to lose 30 to 50 percent of their troops (Dead,Wounded, and missing). Why did they even attck in the first place? If Robert E. Lee would attack a highly defended ridge would it make a difference?

Next, I'm suprised that so many wounded were left on the battlefield. As a matter a fact most soldiers died of disease from gunshots because it tore the clothes and went into the skin thus causing infection. Anyway both sides could've retreived their wounded ( at least the Union could). Many Confederates were dead on the battlefield and were left there a while.

Well because this not the most pretty story I will continue with another story called The Sign of the Beaver. It's fiction ( wahhhhhhhhhhh??????) yes it's fiction ok? It's about this boy who stays at his log cabin alone for months and makes friends with Indians and then the Indians ask him to come with them but he said no and waited for his parents and blablablablablabla and then his parents came. I wonder why the Indians have such a wierd way to tell if you're a hu nter (which if anyone asks what I will tell in comments).

BEAVER SKIN FOR A GUN! Well that's what Indians traded. This was a weird blog so...yeah....... Which somehow reminded me. Does anybody know any good book sugestions? I'm running out of (mainly fiction) books. My next blog will probably be about war ( hows that for a suprise?).
