At the south end of the battlefield is an eerie formation of enormous boulders, balanced in precarious ways, riven with crevices, and surrounded by dark forests and towering hills. This place is named the Devil's Den. If you seek to find a spirit at Gettysburg, here you will find one. But it is one you will not wish to find. The spirit is pure evil, and came into existence a millennium ago, sprouting from a seed nourished by human blood. It lay dormant, until reawakened by the blood spilled so profusely at Gettysburg. That Spirit was hostile to those who passed within its realm, and punished them in mysterious and inexplicable ways.
Many soldiers at Gettysburg displayed incredible courage. Often, a display of courage increased the chance of death. Ten thousand soldiers died at Gettysburg. Thousands of women became widows. Thousands of children became fatherless. Many children never knew their fathers, never learned of their fathers' courage, and never knew how badly the widowed mothers were wounded. Because the display of courage was so perilous, many soldiers could not bring themselves to do what, in the eyes of some, those particular soldiers should have done. Is it fair to hate a soldier who could not muster that level of courage? The Spirit of the Devil's Den loved hatred, encouraged hatred, and inflicted its hellish pain on anyone, soldier or not.
