It was not just a battle, it was a hinge upon which history turned. The tiny town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, hub of 10 roads, became, for three brief and bloody days in early July, 1863, the place at which the future of the nation would be decided. 

Would the undefeated Army of Northern Virginia, under legendary General Robert E. Lee, defeat the Union on its own soil, or would the newly-appointed Union General George Gordon Meade be able to do what no other Union general had done? The die of victory would be cast here. The generals knew it, as did the lowest-ranking private, each fighting with grim determination. 

By the time cannon smoke and dust cleared, and the field lay still, the future of America had been decided, and those who fought there would be forever immortalized in Pickett’s Charge, the Battle of Little Round Top, and the Devil’s Den.

Tractors

Charlie Morgan Although there has always been much interest in “classic” or vintage cars, vans, lorries, motorbikes, and bicycles, the awareness of old tractors took longer to evolve. However, when it did in the latter part of the 20th century, the interest was phenomenal and worldwide.  How many have come to love these old tractors varies from those who flock to events including meets, reunions, and rallies, to those who remember a balmy summer as children camping in a farmer’s field and being allowed to sit on aging relics pretending to drive across the farmland wrapped up in a world of fantasy. What these people all have in common, is that they appreciate the character of these special old tractors and recognize the importance and nostalgia of the hulking ironmonge

Wolves

The howl of a wolf can be an eerie sound on a dark night and can travel as far as 10 miles. Howling is just one of the forms of vocalization for a wolf to communicate with its pack if separation has  occurred. ––––––––––––––––––––––– Available now as an ebook! Rachael Martin When a wolf howls it is an eerie, spine-tingling sound to those who hear it. To the wolf, it’s a form of communicating with his pack. These animals are the largest members of the dog family and the gray wolf is the most common. This adaptable animal was once found all over the Northern Hemisphere, but today is found mainly in Alaska, Canada, and Asia. Few gray wolves survive in Europe, but where populations are high many wolves are not averse to attacking domestic animals. As a result many have been shot, poisoned, or trapped. Wolves have a long history with humans and are often feared, although attacks on people are extremely rare. Red wolves are confined to the southeastern United States where they are endangered

The T. rex has become a much-feared but much-admired theropod and has been the main feature of many movies. It was the ultimate predator and warrior that dealt with its prey using serrated teeth precision.   ––––––––––––––––––––––– Available now as an ebook! Charlotte Penhaligan Dinosaurs and their remains have fascinated mankind for thousands of years. These incredible creatures first roamed the earth around 220 million years ago for 155 million years before they mysteriously disappeared. The fossils and other remains that became their legacy have led to some understanding of these often ferocious beasts. It is possible to tell the species, size, behavior, appearance, and family structures of dinosaurs. Detailed examination of fossils gives valuable insight into how they lived for millions of years before humans found their place on the planet around 100,000 years ago.  It is estimated that more than 1,500 different species of dinosaur existed, but currently, there is no concrete evid
