GDG- Bliss Farm Site

[Jim Lamason]

Hi Guys, 

AS a guy who is studying all of the NJ regiments at Gettysburg, the 12ths
part in the fight for the Bliss farm is also well documented in its
regimental history by Longacre "From Gettysburg and beyond!"... Great book
IMHO.. 

And yes the 12th has a relief on it that shows that fight for at least the
barn.

in the 1st DE.

Hi Tom -

The 12th NJ monument @ Gettysburg has a relief depicting the barn & 
house - I believe it is supposed to be pretty accurate. I have an image 
of it if you'd like me to send it to you. [I've been trying to upload to 
Photobucket to share, but it isn't uploading right now?!?]

Regards,
Alan
