I love Civil War history. I tend to focus on the Confederate and Union Cavalry. I'm lucky to be in and around a lot of good Civil War historical sites of significance. I’m only about an hour from Gettysburg in MD.

The best was, once I did a guided ride on horseback around the battlefields of Gettysburg. We rode Pickett’s Charge and all that good stuff. It was a four hour ride. I figured it would be smart to take my "quiet" horse on this ride.

I had fun but my horse could not get outta there fast enough due to the cannons going off, and the double-decker buses giving tours. The best was when we rode by the super-duper large tarp flapping in the wind over one of the larger monuments that was being refurbished at the time. That about did us both in.
