1864 August 28 - Gettysburg, USA
Military action
28/8
As I depart from this hallowed ground, the images and experiences of Gettysburg weigh heavily on my mind. The time spent with Mathew Brady has been a journey through the heart of America's most defining conflict.
On my last day, Brady showed me a collection of his photographs. Each image, a frozen moment in time, told a story of courage, loss, and the grim realities of war. These photographs, he hoped, would serve as a reminder for future generations of the price of conflict and the value of peace.
The journey through Gettysburg, its battlefields, and its people has been a profound experience. The stark reality of war, captured through Brady's lens, has provided a unique perspective on the nature of conflict and its enduring impact on the human spirit.
As the train pulled away from Gettysburg, I reflected on the resilience of those who had endured the battle and the importance of remembering history. The lessons learned here, amidst the echoes of battle, will remain with me as a poignant reminder of the costs of war and the enduring hope for peace.
