Rendition of “Green Eyed Gal” by Ben Tod and LDSB

The Battle of Gettysburg, fought from July 1 to July 3, 1863, stands as the most pivotal engagement of the American Civil War. Here are the key details:
* Context: After a resounding victory over Union forces at Chancellorsville, General Robert E. Lee led his Army of Northern Virginia into Pennsylvania in late June 1863
* Location: The battle unfolded in the crossroads town of Gettysburg
* Opposing Forces: The advancing Confederates clashed with the Union’s Army of the Potomac, commanded by General George G. Meade
* Intense Fighting: The battle spanned three days, with heavy fighting on both sides
* Pivotal Moment: On July 3, Lee ordered an attack known as “Pickett’s Charge”, where fewer than 15,000 Confederate troops attempted to pierce the Union lines at Cemetery Ridge. Despite briefly breaking through, the assault ultimately failed, resulting in thousands of rebel casualties
* Outcome: Lee was forced to withdraw his battered army toward Virginia on July 4, leaving the dead, dying and wounded to perish in the killing fields and forests. The Union emerged victorious, marking a major turning point by halting Lee’s invasion of the North
* Significance: President Abraham Lincoln’s “Gettysburg Address” immortalized this battle as one of the most famous speeches of all time
Casualties:
* Union: 23,049 (3,155 dead, 14,529 wounded, 5,365 missing).
* Confederacy: 28,063 (3,903 dead, 18,735 injured, 5,425 missing) 
The Battle of Gettysburg remains etched in history as a critical moment that shaped the course of the Civil War

JTSunrise, like a cryptic melody echoing through the mist, A silhouette against the dawn, veiled in an enigma’s twist. Their chords weave secrets, harmonies untold, In the dim-lit corners of the soul, they unfold

Is it the owl reflection of their eyes, the echo of forgotten lullabies? JT strums the strings of mystery, A troubadour in the shadows, lost in history

Their lyrics dance on the edge of dreams, Whispers of forgotten realms and moonlit streams. Enigmatic, they wander through star-kissed nights, A minstrel of the cosmos, chasing celestial light

Perhaps they’re a riddle wrapped in stardust, A cosmic wanderer, both mortal and just. JTSunrise, elusive as the morning mist, Their music lingers, leaving hearts gently kissed

**In the gentle strumming of strings and the raw authenticity of JTSunrise’s compositions, you’ll find echoes of love, nostalgia, and the human experience**
