GDG- Union Dead

[James Cameron]

<< Per the Union Dead: As you might expect, I have seen Jerry Coates' 
article in the Gettysburg Magazine and it is definitely, absolutely not the 
correct site. The angles are wrong, the historic treelines do not match and 
there are numerous other problems as well. His is just one of more than 
twenty eight possible sites submitted to William Frassanito for 
confirmation. The fatal flaw of most all of them is in not recording the 
images at the right angles. The thing about the images that might help us 
the most--that there were five plates recorded in two different angles--also 
makes confirmation of both angles a necessity.

Thanks,

A very good point, and one which Frassanito pointed out as far back as "A 
Journey in Time".  Every candidate location, including the Spangler farn 
site, ends up having inconsistancies with known features - historic 
treelines, for example - that end up ruling it out.  Close doesn't count. 
The location either matches known details, or it doesn't.

BTW, I have heard rumors of another proposed site, in a rather unexpected 
location on the field.  More than which I will not say.
