PA, a quaint little Civil War era village near Gettysburg, has recently been declared a National Historic Site and as such
is listed as endangered. There is a serious effort underway to preserve the area and the many treasures that still exist there.
These watercolors, commissioned by Laurie and Roger Harding, are of the houses in Hunterstown which were standing during the
fierce cavalry engagement of July 2, 1863. It is the Harding's and my own fervent hope that they will call attention to a
story which is often overshadowed by the immensity of the struggle which took place five miles away at Gettysburg. The paintings
will have served their purpose if they encourage others to work toward preserving what is so easily lost forever. Recently
a local farmer demolished the barn which hid Union troops in the ambush George Custer so cleverly contrived for General Hampton's
cavalry. Today it is the developers who threaten to ride roughshod over this town and her surrounding fields. Every effort
must be made to prevent that misfortune." |
