History Lesson II. Gettysburg

 The Army of Northern Virginia marches north and descends on the town of Gettysburg in search of  shoes. The union cavalry head for the town to replace their worn out socks. When they meet over footwear the decisive battle of the war will be fought.

Confederate infantryman 1863. Grey coat with stolen union zouave trousers, cut short for comfort. Bare feet from lack of shoes and an old sheriff’s hat to protect against the July sun. A concealed brace of pistols, a Henry rifle and a mean attitude, will prove vital in the first two days of fighting.
