What Will Tomorrow Bring? – July 2, 1863 General Meade’s Army of the Potomac and General Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia have been battling each other for two straight days at Gettysburg. As the regiments along the Union center grab a few hours rest, they know General Lee has only one option left to him. A mile distant the enemy campfires burn, as numerous as the stars in the sky. Every Union soldier is absorbed with his own thoughts of what’s coming. Each man deals with those thoughts in their own way, wondering just what will tomorrow bring?
