    A Past So Fraught with Sorrow Bert H

    A Past So Fraught With Sorrow Bert H. Barnett, Gettysburg NMP On May 23 and 24, 1865, the victorious Union armies gathered for one massive, final “Grand Review” in Washington, D.C. Among the multitude of patriotic streamers and buntings bedecking the parade route was one, much noticed, hanging from the Capitol. It proclaimed, perhaps with an unintended irony, “The only national debt we can never pay is the debt we owe the victorious Union soldiers.” One sharp-eyed veteran, a participant in almost all the war’s eastern campaigns, observed, “I could not help wondering, whether, having made up their minds that they can never pay the debt, they will not think it useless to try” [emphasis in original].1 The sacrifices demanded of the nation to arrive at that point had been terrific—more than 622,000 men dead from various causes. To acknowledge these numbers simply as a block figure, however, is to miss an important portion of the story. Each single loss represented an individual tragedy of the highest order for thousands of families across the country, North and South. To have been one of the “merely wounded” was often to suffer a fate perhaps only debatably better than that of a deceased comrade. Many of these battle casualties were condemned to years of physical agony and mental duress. The side effects that plagued these men often also tore through their post-war lives and families as destructively as any physical projectile, altering relationships with loved ones and reducing the chances for a fuller integration into a post-war world.

    Perry County Greenways, Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan

    Perry County Greenways, Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan Action Plan 3-1 Action Plan Introduction The Perry County Greenways, Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan (Plan) is a visionary document that provides a clear path on how Perry County can continue to provide and expand recreation resources and opportunities in the County. To ensure the Plan meets the needs and expectations of the residents of the County, the planning process and strategy development was very open to the public. A total of six public participation meetings were conducted, three at frontend of the project to listen to the public, and three at the backend to present the recommendations and achieve a level of public support that would allow the plan to be easily adopted and implemented by the Board of Commissioners. In addition to those public participation meetings, a total of fifty (50) key stakeholders were identified and interviewed on various topics, including Water Resources, Land Resources, Conservation, Regulatory, Funding, People, Parks, Recreation, and Tourism. A summary of the key stakeholder interviews and input from the public participation meetings is provided in the Plan. In addition to those interviews and meetings, a committee of fifty individuals (Committee) was created to provide additional input and guidance on the Plan, and a core committee of seven individuals was created from the full committee to oversee the month to month activities. Plan concepts, strategies, and recommendations were all ran through the core committee before receiving final approval by the full committee. The day to day interactions were handled by county staff from the County Planning Commission and Conservation District.

    “TO ENSURE PERMANENCY”: EXPANDING AND PROTECTING HIKING OPPORTUNITIES IN TWENTIETH-CENTURY PENNSYLVANIA Silas Chamberlin Lehigh University n November 1938, a headline buried deep inside the “ Resorts-Travel” section of the New York Times read, “Horseshoe ITrail Open: Bridle-and-Foot Path in Pennsylvania Passes Historic Places.” The article described the character of the new foot and equestrian trail blazed by the Horse Shoe Trail Club of Philadelphia. “Instead of succumbing to the temptation to make the trail easy,” the 116-mile trail followed the “highest ridges” through five southeastern Pennsylvania counties, connecting Valley Forge with the Appalachian Trail at Manada Gap, just outside of Harrisburg. Although reportedly “one of the ‘clean- est’ paths of its type in the country,” the Horse Shoe Trail was “shorter than many another American trail”—a reference to the recently completed Appalachian Trail—and, therefore, “must base its claim to recognition . on the variety of terrain through which it [ran]” and the great number of historic sites it passed. Finally—if natural beauty and historical relevance were not enough—the trail offered good terrain for “enjoying the Southern pennsylvania history: a journal of mid-atlantic studies, vol. 77, no. 2, 2010.
