LPosse1 Larry’s Reviews > Meade at Gettysburg: A Study in Command > Status Update

I think staying rooted on the spot worked because Lee, as I understand it, refused to flank Meade’s position or make a feint towards Washington DC which would have forced Meade out into the open

Moche- Meade got the shaft. I think he did a thoughtful and amazing job

You go Larry! I like the Meade stuff too.

I started following Amish Murray. My wife and i like Amish suff. Been to Lancaster PA even, and Gettysburgh. Lots in IN and KY too. Lots of PA Amish cashed out and went to Kentucky, towns like Crofton and Elkton/Fairview/ Guthrie.

Hi Davy. Nice 👍🏼

Davy- that’s amazing. When I was a boy we used to go to Amish country in Illinois

We are 25 minutes from the Illinois line here in the TriState..Ohio River Country. Evansville.

Davy- we used to get cheese and my mother even brought an Amish curio cabinet that I still have today

When i was a kid in the 1960s and 1970s the popular (common?) belief was that Amish were largely in PA and OH and IN and I was sort of proud of that. I know Amish are spreading out quite a bit these days. What time period in Illinois? Closest IL town to here is Carmi. I know there are tons of Amish now in Marion KY which is just across from Garden of the Gods area in IL, which I haven't been to yet. I am not disputing you at all, just curious.

Add Michigan to the list! Sitting in my yard, an Amish horse and buggy just rode by

There is a great Amish business right in front of the Jeff Davis Monument at his birthplace in Fairview/Elkton KY. Taking the elevator to the top makes the view worth a trip. Lots of Abe Lincoln [Hodgenville Forkland] and bourbon [Bardstown etc.]. Perryville Battlefield, Shaker Villages etc. New Harmony IN is also great and the nearbyLog Inn where Lincoln ate in Haubstadt/Warrenton IN. I am not a tour guide...just on a roll
