Horror Story of Gettysburg

This is the Wheatfield.

According to the tour this is where a bloody massacre occured. It was such a horrific fight, they said that when you stepped onto the Wheatfield, you could no longer step on wheat. Just bodies covered the whole area.

The tour also spoke of a lone soldier who survived the assault. He was forced to lay among his dead fellow soldiers, while help came but they were too busy fighting elsewhere. The horror came when it turned out some farmer's hog pen has broken down and the hogs were loose, feasting on the corpses. The soldier grabbed the cavalary sword of a fallen officer near him and used it to fend off the hogs, till he could be rescued.

Spooky that such a thing REALLY happened.
