Battle Of Gettysburg at Little Round Top Comes To Life On Mint Stamp Sheet

Discover real Civil War history on this mint stamp sheet.  These commemorative stamps prove that "a picture is worth a thousand words."  Sheet features four face-different stamps with scenes from the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg at Little Round Top as well as the two major commanders of the battle.  You'll see Confederate colonel William C. Oates and Union colonel Joshua L. Chamberlain on each stamp.  The stamps picture the 15th Alabama Infantry fighting the 20th Maine Infantry, the view from the summit of Little Round Top, an attack on Little Round Top, and the view of Little Round Top from the Devil’s Den.  I was impressed by how much history is pictured in these miniature masterpieces – they bring the past to life!
