The Folwell letters, June 19, 1863:
The Folwell letters, June 19, 1863:

Marching Through Loudoun: June 19, 1863 to #gettysburg #gbrg150
I like comparing situations across time to help with frame of reference. For instance at this time in 1863, the Army of the Potomac was oriented to the west. The last time the army had faced west to give battle was at Antietam. Days before that bloody battle, the Army of the Potomac marched out from Frederick towards gaps in the Catoctin Mountain.

Brunswick 2013
My first visit to Brunswick this year was amazing. I spent pretty much my entire day/evening with Rachel. We went to Edward's Ferry and then Brunswick. Seeing the shore and eating King's pizza made my month. I'm so happy to have such an amazing person like Rachel give me the time of day to spend at my favorite places. It was incredibly fun and could not have had it any other way. I can't wait to go back during the day, during spring, summer, fall. I absolutely love Edward's Ferry and Brunswick with an intense passion.
