The Blog of Gettysburg National Military Park 
What a great interesting read on the Mystery Solved!!! For over 30 years I have often wondered who the brave soldiers were in Civil War photos of Gettysburg. I think you are on to something big. Keep up the work…
You should maybe put some information on your About page?
Done! Thanks very much for pointing out our missing element on the About page!
I have been visiting Gettysburg for years, having grown up just south in Carroll County. I had the privilege of finally finding the location of several of the burial trenches on Culp’s Hill. I have volunteered for numerous living histories at Pitzer’s woods and at the Pennsylvania memorial. In finding many of these unmarked burial sites, I was interested to know if their are any plans to include interpretation (through signs and/or markers). Additionally, I (and many of my fellow living historians that regularly volunteer at the park) were interested in helping with maintenance of this sites in any way possible.
The National Park Services asks for the public to join us in treating the entire battlefield as “Sacred Ground” that deserves both protection and respect. Records show that the vast majority of Union and Confederate graves have been removed from battlefield burial sites. Identification of graves at Culp’s Hill or elsewhere at Gettysburg is speculation. Marking these speculative burial sites would subject them to the threat of damage, looting and other violations of the Archaeological Resources Protection Act. Please help us protect these sites. – Gettysburg National Military Park staff
