Admission is $10 for a one-day pass and $14 for a multi-day pass, with group rates to groups of 20 or more. Exhibited for attendees will be the finalists in the annual contest featuring quilts from all over the nation and from foreign neighbors. Contest sponsors are Brother International, Calico Corner of Carlisle, Beba’s Enterprises, Memory Lane/Nolting Quilting Systems, P&B Textiles, Sew Unforgettable, Starr Designs, Superior Threads, Tin Lizzie and The Quilter magazine.

A special exhibit this year will be a retrospect of the work of Sharon Schamber, master quilter extraordinaire. Her quilts have continuously won every top award offered in this country including Best of Show at the International Quilt Festival and the $100,000 Quilt Contest offered by All American Crafts, Inc, producers of The Quilter magazine, and Quiltrends.

Our antique exhibit will feature quilts from the 1930’s in the display “Quilt Revival of the 1930’s” curated by Pat and Arlan Christ. They also will be offering a lecture about these quilts on Friday at noon (registration and tickets required) as well as giving gallery walks each day of the exhibit.

Other lectures slated for Quilt Odyssey this

year are: Cheryl Almgren Taylor’s “Home for the Holidays” Thursday at noon; Bonnie Hunter’s “String Fling” Friday at 4pm; Linda Hahn’s “Getting Down to Business” Saturday at noon and Debra Bender’s “Lace: A Web of Beauty and Intrigue” Saturday at the 4pm tea lecture. Additional instructors will share their knowledge in workshops – pre-registration is required to take classes or lectures. Registration will be open until July 5.

The Merchants Mall will be comprised of more than 80 merchants offering everything the seamstress or quilter could want or need from sewing furniture, gift cards, fabric and handbags to thread, books, embellishments, paint sticks, antiques and kits. Ongoing demos take place during the day from merchants (see list at www.quiltodyssey.com).

Hugs & Kisses Quilts for Kids returns for its 8th year. This was a non-profit venture started by Quilt Odyssey in 2006 as a way of giving back to the community. Everything is donated for making quilts for children who are facing more than usual medical problems at Penn State Hershey Medical Center. Since 2006, more than 1,250 quilts have been lovingly made by quilters attending the show. The bindings are attached by ladies from the Chambersburg Quilt Guild after the show.

For more info, go to Quilt Odyssey’s website, www.quiltodyssey.com, call 717-423-5148 or email quiltodyssey@embarqmail.com.

REFLECTING ON ONE HUNDRED

Sesquicentennial Commemoration

From the Fields of Gettysburg Reproduced from the blog of Scott Hartwig, Supervisory Historian at Gettysburg National Military Park

Gettysburg 150th – Living History – The Armies Return to Gettysburg In his June 27, 1863 letter to his wife, Lt. Colonel Rufus Dawes of the 6th Wisconsin Infantry posed a question – “Our marches have been long and tiresome. What do you think of trudging along all day in a soaking rain, getting just as “Washday” wet as a drowned

by Edwin Forbes rat, taking supper on hardtack and salt pork and then wrapping up in a wet woolen blanket in a wedge tent that only makes the rain more tantalizing, being waked up and three or four times to attend to orders, and turning out finally at three in the morning to get the command ready to move?”

Sketch

by Winslow Homer 30 JULY 2013

Though he was an officer, Dawes’ vivid question could also be that given by any soldier in the army during the Gettysburg Campaign – days of wet misery interspersed with days under a broiling hot sun, each man bearing

the burden of equipment he would need not only to fight but to also have a minimum of comfort. It has been 150 years since Union and Confederate soldiers trod over the farmland that became the battlefield of Gettysburg.

The brief stay of these two massive armies at Gettysburg made for one of the most memorable and most often discussed battles of the Civil War, with an effect reaching far beyond the battleground. The experience in the park is to not only understand the events that occurred here but to also discover the two forces arrayed in blue and gray that fought this monumental battle whose veterans returned years later to place monuments to their regiment on the field.

We know who won the battle and who lost, but who were the soldiers of these two great armies that faced each other on this and other battlefields again and again? What motivated these soldiers in blue and gray to serve their respective causes, to determine whether this nation might live? And how did they march and maneuver to gain the advantage on key ground?

Though neither the “Army of the Potomac” nor the “Army of Northern Virginia” would ever return to fight again in Pennsylvania, the spirit of these armies survives today with the volunteers who donate their time, money and expertise for our living history encampments and the National Park Service is proud to have two definitive organizations volunteer their time over the 150th Anniversary THE VALLEY REVUE

observance. The living history encampments will run from July 1 through 3, 2013, with daily demonstrations of camp and soldier life in the 1860’s. The encampment sites are Pitzer Woods, Auto Tour Stop No.6 for Confederate and the Pennsylvania Monument, Auto Tour Stop No. 12, for Union, both being the traditional sites for living history camps during the summer months.

The Union Camp near the Pennsylvania Monument will feature the “National Regiment”, an organization of Union Civil War units from Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Ohio and the New England area. Commanded by Tom Downes, the infantry camp will represent what one may have seen on the battlefield 150 years ago and operate as a military camp throughout the day. Likewise, the Union artillery camp nearby will have displays and programs featuring a full six-gun battery. Nearby will be the camp of the US Christian Commission and a contingent of the Society of Union Surgeons, who will discuss and demonstrate medical practices that took place in the field hospitals near town.

Artillery demonstration times: 10 AM and 2 PM Infantry demonstration times: 11 AM and 3 PM The camps will be open to the public from 9 AM to 5 PM daily. Please note

www.v alley revue.com

that there will be no demonstrations after 12 noon of July 3 as both living history groups will be involved in the Pickett’s Charge commemorative walks.

Battlefield communications were critical during the Civil War and Gettysburg was no exception! A chosen group of soldiers used flags to send messages and provide critical information to battlefield commanders throughout the battle, the most notable signal station established on a large boulder on the summit of Little Round Top where signalmen first advised army command of the Southern assault on the Union left on July 2, 1863, in what would be the bloodiest day of the battle. The Union Signals Group under the command of Lieutenant Samuel Foster will have daily demonstrations from two signal stations, the first near Meade’s Headquarters and the second at the historic signal corps station on Little Round Top. Demonstrations of signal communications will run from 9 to 5 daily. Visitors are encouraged to compose and send messages between the two stations.

It’s easy to see there will be a lot going on over the 150th Anniversary and visitors to the living history camps may find their own answers to the question Colonel Dawes posed to his wife on that damp, miserable June evening – “Well, that’s soldiering.”

Gettysburg 150th – Battlefield Overview Hikes Our programming on the battlefield from July 1-4, during the 150th anniversary, may seem somewhat bewildering and overwhelming at a glance, but I assure you there is a method to our madness. On our blog (http://npsgnmp.wordpress.com) we have covered Battlefield Experience programs and Key Moment programs for each day of the anniversary.

Another program in the mix is the Overview Hike – let me explain the difference between these different programs to diffuse potential confusion.

The Key Moment programs involve minimal walking and last only thirty minutes. They are intended to provide a general program on what happened in a specific location on that day during the battle. If you do all the Key Moment programs in a day you will have a good feeling for what happened on that day of the battle 150 years ago.

Battlefield Experience programs are special programs we may never do again. They generally occur early or late in the day and can last up to two hours and may involve significant walking. For example, The Last March of the Iron Brigade, which I will do on July 1 with Dan Welch, is a two-mile march.

In the middle of these types of programs are our Overview Hikes.

These are targeted at those people who want a bit more than a Key Moment program can offer, and want to do some hiking over the battlefield landscape, but do not want to hike for miles. All of these hikes are moderate in nature, and, as you will see, last no longer than 90 minutes. We will offer two to three hikes daily. The schedule for each day is as follows: July 1 The Battle of McPherson’s Ridge – 10:30-11:45 a.m. Meet at the McPherson’s Ridge Key Moment Station.

McPherson’s Ridge, Herbst Woods and Seminary Ridge were the scenes of some of the heaviest fighting on July 1.

The Battle North of Town – 3:30-4:30 p.m. Meet at the Barlow’s Knoll Key Moment Station. This will cover the battle between the 11th Corps and Early’s and Rodes’ divisions of General Ewell’s 2nd Corps.

32 JULY 2013

July 2 The Valley of Death – 1:30 – 3:00 p.m. Meet at Devil’s Den Key Moment Station. Explore the battle for Little Round Top, Devil’s Den and the Plum Run Valley.

Sickles’ Line Under Attack – 3:30 – 4:45 p.m. Meet at the Klingle farm lane entrance on Sickles Avenue. This is a short walk north of the Peach Orchard Key Moment Station. Walk the ground of heavy fighting from the Klingle farm to the Peach Orchard.

Cemetery Hill and Culp’s Hill – 6:30 – 7:45 p.m. Meet at the Baltimore Street entrance to the Soldiers’ National Cemetery. Hike from Cemetery Hill to the western slopes of Culp’s Hill, the scene of attacks by Ewell’s Second Corps on the evening of July 2.

July 3 The Battle for Culp’s Hill – 7:30 – 8:45 a.m. Meet at the Spangler’s Spring Key Moment Station. Hike up the slopes of Culp’s Hill where the opposing forces struggled for nearly seven hours on the morning of July 3.

Clash of Cavalry – 10:30 – 11:45 a.m.

Meet at the Michigan Brigade Monument on East Cavalry battlefield.

Hike part of the ground of the major cavalry action that occurred on the afternoon of July 3.

July 4 Three Farms in the Path of Battle – 1:30 – 2:45 p.m. Meet at the Klingle farm lane on Sickles Avenue. Hike to the Klingle, Sherfy and Trostle farms and learn how the battle impacted their farms and lives.

Commemoration and Memory of the Battle – 3:30 – 5 p.m. Meet at the Pennsylvania Memorial. Hike along Cemetery Ridge and explore how the battle has been remembered and commemorated in the last 150 years.

For specifics about parking for all of these hikes, see our Commemorative Events guide, which can be downloaded on our website at www.nps.gov/gett/ planyourvisit/150th-anniversaryindex.htm.

Find your hiking shoes, hat and sunscreen, and grab some water or sports drink and join us for a battlefield hike during the 150th.

D. Scott Hartwig THE VALLEY REVUE

Key moments The ninety minutes Ellis Spear spent on Little Round Top during the afternoon of July 2nd, 1863 were among the most confusing of his life. As an officer in the 20th Maine Volunteer Infantry he had commanded men in the battle for the hill, had seen friends shot down around him, and had participated in a chaotic charge down the rocky slope which drove back the Confederate attack. Afterwards, he had trouble putting events together. His sight was often blinded by thick clouds of acrid smoke, the roar and crash of battle drowned out almost all sound, and a physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion left him deeply fatigued. The more he talked to others that witnessed the fight, the more confused he became.

No one seemed to remember the battle in the same way. Forty seven years after he was still trying to make sense of it. “I fear you will never know all about it,” he wrote his granddaughter Mildred in 1910. “Nobody does, and nobody ever did or ever will. It was a very mixed up and extensive affair.”

For the 160,000 men that fought in it, the battle of Gettysburg was a confusing assemblage of fear, death, and chaos. Plans went awry, wrong roads were taken, men got lost, and orders were misinterpreted. Over the course of three days, battle lines and objectives were in a constant state of flux, leaders were killed or wounded, and vacuums in command were created that rippled down to the lowest ranks.

The man from whom you took orders one minute might not be the man you answered to a second later.

It was a confusing battle to fight and it remains a confusing battle to study.

One hundred and fifty years later, trying to make sense of it all is still a daunting task. Over the 150th Anniversary, Gettysburg National Military Park will be offering a series of programs designed to put the major events of the battle into perspective and offer some understanding of what happened at Gettysburg. For each Key Moment of the July 1st – July 3rd battle, as well as on July 4th, National Park Service Rangers will conduct thirty-minute

www.v alley revue.com

A post-war view of Captain Ellis Spear, 20th Maine Infantry

programs at multiple locations within the park, explaining each phase of the battle and its importance to the larger story.

Each program at every Key Moment station will be offered multiple times, a new program being presented on an hourly basis. This will allow visitors to explore the battlefield at their own pace. The progress of the fighting can be followed chronologically or those who wish can linger at a particular battlefield location. Visitors can also experience the battle in real time, visiting each site at roughly the same time the historical event occurred. In addition to ranger programs, each station will also offer information and interpretive kiosks to make your Gettysburg visit easier and more informative.

A listing of every Key Moment station can be found in our Commemorative Events Guide, along with shuttle routes, maps, and program times. It is recommended that you plain ahead by downloading a digital copy (www.nps.gov/gett/planyourvisit/upload/ GETT-150-CommemorativeGuide.pdf) While these programs require minimal walking, proper footwear, sun screen, tick repellent, and water are a must.

Like Ellis Spear, we will never fully understand the battle of Gettysburg in all of its confusion and complexity. Yet, by standing on the same ground these Key Moments occurred, and by hearing the stories of the men who at Gettysburg made history, the events of 150 years ago can be brought a little closer.

Day Spa

erkeley Springs, a fountainhead of warm mineral waters frequented by Native Americans long before Europeans arrived in the New World, are at the heart of a mountain spa community in West Virginia’s Eastern Panhandle. First noted as Medicine Springs in 1747 on a map drawn by Thomas Jefferson’s father, the waters for many centuries have drawn visitors seeking health and relief from the stress of everyday life.

In 1776, George Washington’s family and friends drew up a plat of 134 lots, named the streets, and incorporated The Town of Bath, invoking the muses of the renowned English spa. Yet the magic of the springs prevailed, and the town and surrounding area are known by their name – Berkeley Springs.

The waters flow at a constant 74°F from the base of Warm Springs Ridge. You may still drink freely and fill your jugs at Lord Fairfax’s public tap, and wade in the ancient stone pools in the nation’s smallest state park. The town has endured cycles of notoriety, fashion, war and modern progress, but remains the Country’s First Spa, a quiet, friendly haven surrounded by West Virginia’s splendid outdoors. ß T h e VA L L EY r e v Ue

Visit Springs, Pennsylvania Folk Festival – October 4 & 5, 2013 Hand-made Gifts • Food • Music • Demonstrations

Springs Museum Wed. – Fri. 1-5; Sat. 9-2 May 25 – Oct. 5, 2013 A celebration of the arts, skills & labors of our forefathers.

Nature Trail 3 miles North of Grantsville, MD – Exit 19 on I-68 1711 Springs Road, Springs, PA 15562

(814) 442-4594 • www.springspa.org

Visit Springs, PA – a Sleepy Village Where Things are Happening!

The small village of Springs, PA is located on the MD/PA state line at the foot of Negro Mountain, whose summit Mt. Davis is the highest point in Pennsylvania. The area is little but mighty in terms of providing an outlet for wholesome produce and preserving our heritage. Settled in the late 1700’s by primarily German and Swiss immigrants of Mennonite and Amish faith, the industrious farmers have made a name for Springs. Watch for the slower-paced clip clop of the horse-drawn Amish buggies along the highway.

Founded in 1958 to preserve the history of the Casselman River Valley that includes Garrett County, MD and Somerset County, PA, the Springs Historical Society initiated a Farmers’ Market in 1991 to provide support for the Springs Museum and the local economy. The largest market in the area with over 80 vendors, shoppers travel as much as an hour or two to purchase fresh produce. Many of the Amish farmers continue to wear the same style clothing and use the same recipes as their ancestors.

Housed in the large Springs Folk Festival craft building with the overflow extending over the grounds, the Market is a great place to meet and greet the neighbors while enjoying breakfast and lunch made to order at the Snack Bar. After purchasing your produce and baked items for the week, browse among the antique and flea market vendors while munching on your home baked donut or whoopee pie. Antique glass and furniture and iron ware as well as new crafts, handcrafted jewelry, honey and maple syrup

www. va l leyrev ue . co m

are sure to spark an interest. The Springs Farmers’ Market is registered with the Bureau of Foods Safety & Laboratory Services of the PA Department of Agriculture.

It is held every Saturday beginning May 25 through September 21, 8 A.M.–1 P.M. Be sure to take a stroll by the selfguided Alta Schrock Nature Trail, named for the Society’s founder, located adjacent to the Farmers’ Market. Total distance of the easy walking loop trail is 4/10 mile.

Visit the Springs Museum, a two-story building with industrial annex, displaying an early school, church, store, living quarters and antique farm and industrial equipment; some manufactured in Springs in the early 1900’s. Also available in the Museum are the Casselman Chronicles, over fifty years of historical and genealogical journals of the settlers and places in the area. Museum hours are Wed. – Fri. 1 P.M.–5 P.M. and Saturday 9 A.M.–2 P.M. Monthly programs in the Folk Meeting House are free and open to the public April through November. Come back October 4 & 5, 2013 for the Springs Folk Festival, celebrating its 56th year with over 140 juried craftsmen demonstrating their skills, continual music performances, hayrides, and PA Dutch foods. The pancake and sausage meal will be available all day. Antique farm equipment will be running, including the making of hay and threshing of grain as in days of old. Enjoy the historical pageant as you sample the homemade lollipops and kettle corn.

All are located on 1711 Springs Rd., Springs, PA. More information may be found on www.springspa.org or call 814-442-4594.

Visit Historic Hedgesville!

H

edgesville is located in Skinner’s Gap on North Mountain, where the original Warm Springs Road (now WV9) passed through from Alexandria, Virginia to Bath (Berkeley Springs). An abundant spring drew the first settler and today serves as Town Spring marked by a protective structure. The spring is reportedly never affected by drought and the water is a persistent 57 degrees.

In 1738, the Hedges family began to acquire land just east of the gap.

During the French and Indian War in the 1750s, George Washington supervised the construction of a stockade fort in the gap called Fort Hedges. It was one of a string of forts constructed for protection against the French and their Indian allies.

The town was laid out in 1832 and established as Hedgesville by the Virginia General Assembly in 1836. At that time, a law was passed making it unlawful to “sit or loiter about Town Spring drinking spirits.” The town was finally incorporated in 1854 and in 1870 the Town Council was given control of the springs.

A number of antebellum historic structures still line the village streets, including many original log homes.

The village is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
