Summer Is Here

and we’ve got a list of 1,200 (or so) things for you and your family to do. My calendar is already filling up! I was so happy to be able to attend Dennis Wolfe’s book signing for his beautiful title, Small Town Pennsylvania. You will definitely want it on your coffee table or added to your library. It will inspire you to make a bucket list of places to visit. I met Dennis years ago when he taught with my husband. As friendships grow, so does knowledge. We learned that Dennis liked to travel in his spare time and take lots of photos. After he shared some of his work we knew this was more than a hobby. He Dennis Wolfe and Ethan Lambert, fan and had a passion AND an eye for capturing the photo subject in Small Town Pennsylvania. moment. Dennis wondered if he was good enough to get published and we were sure he was. A few years later, we teamed up with Dennis to do a calendar for Where & When. We were very pleased with the results! Again, we encouraged him to pursue his dream book. Today, we are happy to say, he is realizing his dream! Stay tuned, book two is in the works!

BU Players: Gabriella Russo, Donovan Krebs, Kellyanne Klause, Casey Gerhart, Elizabeth Potter and Jaryn Wilcox

We traveled to Bloomsburg to enjoy the production of The Underpants, an adaptation by Steve Martin of Carl Sternheim’s classic 1910 farce. We knew we were going to be entertained by Martin’s genius and comic style, but the added fresh talent of the students who are enthusiastic about their craft pushed it over the top. The BU Players certainly delivered!

Summer has just started and it’s lots of fun!

Only 1,198 (or so) more things to do! I’m going to be using our mobile app on the run so I don’t miss a thing! (www.m.whereandwhen.com) How about You?

It is our charge that the stories of the men who willingly sacrificed their lives on the fields of Gettysburg shall never be forgotten. This year, the 150th anniversary of the battle that turned the tide of the Civil War will be observed throughout Pennsylvania. Each location will share a unique story, yet all will have a common thread. When the cannon fire ceased, none were left unscathed - soldier or civilian. Because of the magnitude of the Battle of Gettysburg, statistics consume much of the recounting of the history of the first three days of July 1863. Other than the tragic death of Jennie Wade, civilian stories are often left untold.

�

Gettysburg was the thriving county

seat of Adams County, where approximately 2,500 people lived. There were tanneries, shoemakers, carriage manufacturers and banks, as well as two prestigious schools of higher education, Pennsylvania (now Gettysburg) College

and the Lutheran Theological Seminary. By all standards, Gettysburg had all the elements of a prosperous community. But a storm was brewing that would test the mettle of ordinary people. For two years, war raged in the South. Reports of Confederate General Robert E. Lee’s victories gave pause to those who were certain of a quick resolution to the nation’s division over the expansion of slavery. For families living just north of the Mason-Dixon line, rumors were rampant. “The rebels will be upon us any day, “ was the frequent cry heard by the fearful citizens of Gettysburg. Certain that the war would not touch them, many families had already sent their men off to join the war, leaving them without protection unless and until Union troops arrived. THE SHRIVERS In 1860, George Shriver sold a portion of his inheritance to buy a property in Gettysburg. A fine home for his wife Hettie and two young girls, Sadie and

Mollie, was just part of Shriver’s plans for a bright future. Their new home on Baltimore Street also provided the necessary space for George to embark on his new business venture, Shriver’s Saloon & Ten-Pin Alley. Life seemed to be going as planned for the Shrivers until the Confederates attacked Fort Sumter and the Civil War became a reality. Like many Americans, George Shriver would have to put his plans aside for what he thought would be a quick resolution to the rebel uprising. On August 27, 1861, just a couple weeks after completing the construction of his business, Shriver left his wife and children to join the Union cause. Reports of the brutal nature of the fighting in the South gave great concern to those who had loved ones in uniform. The distance between the fighting in the South and her family gave Hettie a sense of security. But as the battle moved further north, that false sense of security quickly dissolved. With her husband gone, each time

a rumor arose of Rebels nearby, Hettie worried for the safety of her girls. On the morning of July 1, 1863, the sound of cannon fire close to town convinced Hettie that their home was no longer safe for her children. So she decided to take the girls to her parents' (Jacob and Sarah Weikert) farm just south of Gettysburg on Taneytown Road. Concerned for the teenage girl who lived next George W. Shriver door, she offered 1837-1864 to take James and Margaret Pierce’s youngest daughter, Tillie, along to safety. Unfortunately, neither the Pierce’s nor Hettie predicted that their destination, situated near the base of Little Round Top, would be the scene of some

Elizabeth Thorn’s account of the Battle of Gettysburg is one of the bestknown civilian records of the first three days in July of 1863. Peter and Elizabeth Thorn both died in 1907 and are buried together at Evergreen Cemetery. Today, a 7-foot bronze statue depicting a weary Elizabeth Thorn with a shovel in one hand and the other on her protruding stomach stands next to the gatehouse. The memorial was dedicated in 2002 and honors the women who sacrificed so much during and after the War. Of the 13,000 burial plots at Evergreen, 300 are soldiers.

On November 19, 1863, at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery, President Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address. Lincoln's procession (left) making its way down Baltimore Hill (Baltimore Street)

of Gettysburg arrived in town to honor the dead at the dedication of the National Cemetery. The evening before the ceremony, David Wills invited 38 guests to dine with his family. Dignitaries filled every room of their home. Mrs. Wills prepared several of the bedrooms for guests. This included her own bedroom, which was given to President Lincoln. It was in her bedroom that Abraham Lincoln finished writing his famous Gettysburg Address. Although the President was in attendance at the Dedication Ceremony, he was not the main speaker. That honor was given to the great American orator, Edward Everett. Before a crowd of more than 15,000 people, Everett gave a twohour-long speech on the Battle of Gettysburg, from memory. His oration was followed by an orchestral performance before President Lincoln took the stage. One cannot be sure what the crowd was expecting, but what they got was a twominute-long heartfelt speech. In the days following the dedication, not everyone appreciated Lincolnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s short oratory. Many felt that it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t grand enough for the occasion, while others, including the keynote speaker, felt that he said in two minutes what Everett failed to say in two hours.

After Lincoln's assassination in April 1865, Senator Charles Sumner wrote of the address, "That speech, uttered at the field of Gettysburg...and now sanctified by the martyrdom of its author, is a monumental act. In the modesty of his nature he said, 'The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here; but it can never forget what they did here.' He was mistaken. The world at once noted what he said, and will never cease to remember it."

It is impossible to accurately convey the suffering and sacrifice of the residents of Gettysburg with a glimpse into a few of their experiences. But, the picture it does paint is startling at best. Imagine the toll as 170,000 men in two huge armies converge on the small town. Remember, there was no plumbing in 1863. All the livestock and food supplies were virtually wiped out in days. Horses were confiscated, and 5,000 were killed in battle and lay rotting where they fell. The bodies of 7,000 men could not be buried fast enough to prevent the odor that the hot July sun only made worse. Amputated arms and legs were piled high outside makeshift field hospitals. It is reported that the stench could be smelled as far away as Harrisburg. Since the water supply that was not depleted was contaminated, disease followed.

“Gettysburg 150 - Reections of History,” will be held June 28 through July 7 at locations in and around Gettysburg. Both weekends during the event will feature Battle of Gettysburg re-enactments.

Of the 51,000 casualties of Gettysburg, more than 20,000 wounded soldiers were left behind under the care ordinary citizens before they were able to move on to army hospitals. The lives of Gettysburg residents were forever changed as the battle gave witness to the worst and the best of human nature. It didn’t take years to recover, it took a generation. Throughout 2013, Gettysburg and other towns affected by the war will have special anniversary observances like Chambersburg, where Confederate soldiers burned more than 500 buildings in 1864, because they could not pay a ransom of $100,000 in gold. Today, you can visit the homes of these ordinary citizens, who did very extraordinary deeds. Log on to whereandwhen.com for tour information and special anniversary events at the Shriver House Museum, the David Wills House, the Jennie Wade House, the Tillie Pierce Inn, and the Evergreen Cemetery and Elizabeth Thorn Monument. In time for the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, the new Seminary Ridge Museum is slated to open on

July 1. The 20,000-square-foot exhibit space on the grounds of the Lutheran Theological Seminary will relive the events, as Schmucker Hall stood at the center of the Union defense against the Confederates. It was from the building’s cupola that the commander of the Union Cavalry General John Buford, observed the advancement of Confederate forces from the west. The new Seminary Ridge Museum will offer tours of the cupola, where visitors will have a 360-degree view overlooking Gettysburg and the battlefield. The seminary is most famously known as the site of perhaps the largest field hospital during the battle. The largest organized effort to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg is “Gettysburg 150 - Reflections of History,” which will be held June 28 through July 7 at locations in and around Gettysburg. Both weekends during the event will feature Gettysburg re-enactments. For a complete lineup of events that will comprise the 10-day observance, log on to whereandwhen.com/articles/Gettysburg150/.

Few places in the world can tout the presence of two world-renowned reworks companies within their borders. One such place is Lawrence County, located in western Pennsylvania, about 50 miles north of Pittsburgh. Fazzoni Brothers Fireworks Company was the rst of many great pyrotechnic businesses to start in New Castle, the county seat. Following Fazzoni were Zambelli Fireworks Internationale and Pyrotecnico (formerly Vitale Fireworks Manufacturing Company). Both companies are still based in New Castle a century later. On Saturday, July 13th from 2 to 10 p.m. the crowds will begin ling into New Castle to join in the festivities during the 22nd annual Fireworks Festival and celebrating the county as the “Fireworks Capital of America.” Always held on the second Saturday in July, this year’s festival will include many events such as a children’s tent with free activities, a Lego building contest, a rock wall and EuroBungee, petting zoo, pony rides, trackless train rides, bouncies, a giant slide, inatable obstacles, live music and even a Rocket to the Stars singing competition. At 10 p.m., visitors will crowd together to enjoy the reworks display, which will be presented by Zambelli

Internationale. Antonio Zambelli, Zambelli Internationale’s founder, immigrated to the United States from Italy in 1893 and began the Zambelli Fireworks Manufacturing Company. Known as the “rst family of reworks,” the company is now operated by the fourth generation of Zambellis and is renowned in the industry for their quality, creativity and safety. Pyrotecnico (Vitale), New Castle’s other famed reworks company and last year’s reworks presenter, was founded in 1889 by Constantino Vitale. In 1922, Vitale established his business in New Castle, securing another reworks legend in the area. Families are encouraged to visit the area and enjoy all of the activities that this exploding town has to oﬀer. Visitors will be delighted by the brilliant reworks display at the end of the night. All events take place along the Columbus Innerbelt, which parallels one of two rivers that ow through the town of New Castle. Visitors may nd it best to take advantage of the free shuttle service from Union Plaza, exit 13 (State Street/Poland, Ohio) oﬀ Interstate 376. Celebrate New Castle's heritage and future on July 13th, and bring the fam-
