My uncle’s property in Gettysburg encompasses an old Civil
War battleground which is sacred to our nation’s history. While hunting on the
land, my uncle has found rifle cartridges that have been linked to the
Confederate army’s ammunition in the Battle of Gettysburg, the pivotal battle
in the Civil War. After first encountering the property, one would first see an
old, beat-up house. Past the Shrieking Shack is a vast amount of abandoned
farmland and past that are the woods that I’ve hunted and drove ATVs in since birth.
The property is filled with history, my history and the nation’s.

I think you described the battleground very well and related it to your personal experience of why it should be preserved. My only criticism would be to add a picture in the end so we can have a better understanding of what it looks like.
ReplyDeleteYou did a good job integrating specific experiences and details into your description of the place. However you should elaborate on its cultural significance.
ReplyDeleteAs a history enthusiast, I really enjoyed your post. You should include a picture, but you descibed the area fairly well.
ReplyDeleteGood job integrating both your personal experiences with the town and nations as well. I like how you were able to tie in Gettysburg as well. I agree with the post above however on how a picture would sum this blog up really well. Other than that, the descriptions were really good, and I cant see anything that you did wrong. Nice Blog!
ReplyDeleteI like the tittle of the blog and as well the description of the propriety, I couldn't think ofany negativity of this blog, other than lack of a picture.
ReplyDeleteI think your title was really interesting- good job! I also think you did a good job of explaining why this place is important to you.
