The Second Gettysburg Battle and Gettysburg Tower Controversy
In a 1971 Frederick Maryland reflection, the article recounts Lee’s invasion and Meade’s defensive stand at Gettysburg with 170 000 Americans in three days of battle and 23 003 vs 28 451 casualties. It criticizes a proposed 307 foot commercial observation tower in Gettysburg, applauds Governor Shaff’s bid to stop it, and notes environmental legal action and proposed state aid to beautify the area. It also discusses magnetohydrodynamics MHD as a future electricity source and critiques the U.S. auto insurance system with no fault proposals.
