This story of a battle fought 77 years ago was published in a Gettysburg, Pa. weekly, the Adams Sentinel, four days after the Battle of Gettysburg (July 1-3, 1863). The press on which this historic story was printed was an old Ramage hand press built before...

Goodrich, who does Whistler's Mother, and ebony-skinned Janitor Felix Nelson (Vedder's The African Sentinel), rehearse their tableaux as religiously as any Oberammergau Passion Player.
