GDG- Gettysburg draws 2.9 million visitors each year

[Margaret D. Blough]

It sounds like it would have been more accurate to indicate the fact that women compose a high proportion of Boyd's Bear Country visitors would increase the number of female visitors and leave it at that. Of course, I know of more than a few women who combine both battlefield and Boyd's Bear Country visits in the same trip.  They are not inconsistent activities.

Regards,

Margaret
