Gettysburg1993

Major General Winfield Scott Hancock:
Tell me, Professor. In your studies have you come across a story from antiquity of two men who are like brothers facing each other on the field of battle?

Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain:
Well, General, if the Greeks or Romans did not tell of it, I think that story must surely be in the Bible.

Major General Winfield Scott Hancock:
When I look across the field and see the flags of the 9th and 14th Virginia; I can almost see his old crumpled hat and hear his voice. Lewis Armistead was my closest friend before the war. I'd like to see him again; but not here, not like this. What do you say, Colonel; what do the books tell you.
