Lee’s Gettysburg Headquarters were restored by the Civil War Trust and it was originally the home of Mary Thompson. The Civil War Trust has since gone woke and even changed their name but we do thank them for their sadly woke work. Even the doghouse is the same as what was pictured in period photos. Also see R. E. Lee’s HQ FLAG!

Today is the 160th anniversary of the Battle of Brandy Station. This remains the largest Cavalry engagement in North America. Real History!
“On Friday, June 5th, and later on June 8th, Stuart conducted massive cavalry reviews near Culpeper. Hood's Division attended both events; General Lee attended the latter.
A Southern soldier-reporter in Hood's Division said of the June 5th equestrian spectacle, "It was an imposing sight. One hundred and forty-four companies passed in review in the most splendid order. I counted twenty-six stands of colors, exclusive of those belonging to Stuart's horse-artillery. After the review there was a sham fight, in which the artillery fired over one hundred and sixty rounds, and the cavalry made several brilliant charges. The horses were generally good, and everything indicated a good degree of discipline. Many ladies, blooming in health and beauty, were present. Gen. Hood marched his whole division out to witness the review." Robert Lee Hodge
