GETTYSBURG, PA -- Civil War history will come alive this summer at the Gettysburg National Military Park. "We are at tempting to per- - sonali /e history." explains Park Ranger Bob Prosperi . "Visi tors tend to view the Batt le of Gettysburg in abstract terms: they tour the 40 miles of avenues in the park and see over 9(H) beauti­ ful monuments here. This can create an unrealist ic ro­ mantic image. In reali ty, the Civil War was a brutal expe­ rience for real people and we try to recapture that with the Living History Program." The National Park Service began "l iving history" in 1968; s ince then it has be­ come a major interpretive tool at Gettysburg. Visi tors who attend these person-to- person programs learn about Easter's Early! Sunday, March 26. @ 1977 Hallmark Card*. Inc the hardships endured by the Civil War soldiers as well as their equipment and uni­ forms. Many park interpret­ ers have developed a dra­ matic first person account in their presentations. "It helps capture the expe­ rience fqr the visitor," ex­ plains Prosperi who express­ es genuine enthusiasm for the program. "I like it more than anything! It gives me a chance to get out of my daily character. I cease being a Park Ranger and actually be­ come the character. I use slang, chew tobacco, spit on the ground and even scratch myself." The Park's "Living His­ tory" program has become so popular that it is being ex­ panded in 1978. In addition to Union and Confederate "Civil War Soldier" pro­ grams, "The Women in the War" will be featured. This unique program portrays the hopes, fears, and heartaches of a woman caught up in the holocaust of war. The Park also operates Granite Farm, a 72-acre es­ tate with live demonstrations o f f a r m l i f e i n I 8 6 3 . Blacksmithing, home crafts, tool-making and live animals are seen at the farm. Living History Programs are concluded each day with an evening campfire program t h a t i n c l u d e s t h e M G M movie "The Battle of Get­ tysburg." All of the pro­ grams are free of charge. A color booklet with more Get­ tysburg information is avail­ able by writing to: The Get­ t y s b u r g T r a v e l C o u n c i l , Dept. 7, Gettysburg, Penna. 17325. We concluded our visit with Prosperi in his Union Army uniform by asking if he had any relatives in the Civil War. "Yes," he smiled and replied, "My great-great­ grandfather and his three brothers were all Confeder­ ate infantrymen in the North Carolina Volunteers."
