GDG- Re: 2008 Scavenger Hunt answers

Technicality here: the 26th PA emergency monument is not "on the battlefield". They did make a stand, however brief, west of town against Gordon's advancing troops, so they sorta fought here.
You are correct about the 26th NC. Musta been a typo.

What about the 26th PA Emergency monuments in the town square and west of the square on Chambersburg Pike?
