"A Ghastly Array of Human Misery"

These words were spoken in relation to the unimaginable horrors witnessed on the 300 acre Jacob Schwartz farm which served as the Union 2nd Army Corps hospital. The Schwartz farm is located south of Gettysburg along the Baltimore Pike and White Run.

We're lucky that George had occasion to photograph this property in June of 2005 as the longtime historically aware owner passed away earlier this year and the future disposition of this significant piece of land is up in the air to our knowledge.

For more information on this farm see Greg Coco's magnificent "A Vast Sea of Misery", ppg. 91-97
