Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain wrote of a return visit of Gettysburg that it seemed as if it were "a radiant fellowship of the fallen."
I've been to Gettysburg many times, and I can say for certain that there are these quiet moments on the battlefield, away from the noise of tourists and crowds, where you can feel that radiant fellowship, where the battlefield comes alive and you can feel the history hanging thickly in the air. This photograph captures that feeling, I think.
This is a re-edit of a photograph taken in May 2009 about thirty minutes prior to sunset on Oak Hill, the first day battlefield north of Gettysburg.
Splendiferous Sunset behind a Living Landmark.
image
Located on the western side of Hancock Avenue near the monument to General John Gibbon and the bronze cannons of Weir's Battery stands the "Gibbon Tree." This may well be the only remaining witness tree along the center of the Union line on Cemetery Ridge at Gettysburg. According to legend, Brigadier-General John Gibbon was wounded near this tree during Pickett’s Charge on July 3, 1863.
This walnut tree has suffered several lightning strikes and several of the limbs are dying, and so every time I come to the field, I wonder if it will still be standing. But it endures as it has for over 145 years -- a silent witness to one of the most momentous scenes in American history. It was a privilege to enjoy one of the best sunsets I've seen at Gettysburg and to photograph the display of beautiful colors behind this living, fragile landmark.
