GDG- Units history and what has caught my attention.

[Jim Lamason]

Robert, 

I would suggest going to the GDG website.  Or if you have any  books on
Gettysburg, go to them. They should have an OOB..

I know that there were 6 Union and 5 Confederate units from Maryland [my
home state] at Gettysburg that faced each other at Culp's Hill [where the MD
State monument is located]...but I've been unable to identify these
units....

I'm not sure where to look....

  I thought since its been quiet that I would see if I could start some
  conversation. 

  First of all, I realize that the units from my home state, played only a
  small part in the battle itself. 

  Its interesting that when you find out how much involved your home state
was
  involved in a moment like this history how much more it pulls you in.. 

  New Jersey compared to states like Pa, and NY from the north, and VA and
NC
  from the south, is small potatoes.  With only 12 Infantry regiments, two
  full brigades and two individual regiments, 2 batteries of Artillery and
one
  regiment of Cavalry truly are only a small part in and of them selves. 

  Yet, they were in the middle almost all the major fighting on the 2 and 3
  days of GB.. 

  Has any one else in this group ever studied their home states like this? 

  On the Union side, there are states like Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan,
  Wisconsin. 

  On the Confederate side there are states like Florida, Tenn, Alabama,
  Arkansas.. 

  And what have you discovered? 

  I am looking forward to your responses! 

  Your servant,
