July 1, 1863 First Day of the Battle of Gettysburg. Gen John Buford's delaying action, following a somewhat chance encounter with Harry Heth's Confederate Division of Hill's Corps the day before, affords the Union time to bring up the the 1st Corps of the Army of the Potomac, led by Gen John Reynolds who was offered Meade's job after Hooker's resignation, but turned it down to stay in the field. Buford understood Lee would be there in force first thing in the morning and set his troops to make the fight until support could get there. My favorite Reynolds line (from both the Shaara novel and Gettysburg movie) is when he looks at Buford upon his arrival on the field, slaps him on the shoulder and says "Now, let's go surprise Harry Heth." Unfortunately, not long after his arrival, Reynold's is killed, while in command of the field, leading, by then, the "left wing of the Army of the Potomac" which included the I, III, XI Corps, his final words uttered to the 2nd Wisconsin regiment whom he was placing on the field, "Forward men! For God's sake men forward!" Buford's action, and Reynold's ratifying of said action by engaging his 1st Corp, chooses the location for the Battle of Gettysburg for Meade. So ends Day 1. Tune in tomorrow, for my favorite story of the Gettysburg campaign, Chamberlain and the 20th Maine. First photo: Sam Elliot as Gen Buford from the 1993 movie Gettysburg.

About last night... Attended SCOPE50 presents Preserving Civil Rights and the Story of Voting - Sounds of Motown on Seabrook Island ... The Summer Community Organization for Political Education (SCOPE), a project of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), which promotes and encourages voter registration nationally, and assists with “get out the vote” activities throughout the country. A true grassroots effort. Don't let anyone talk down on your roots. Every experience comes back for a reason. I was surprised, inspired and humbled by the amazing Mary Whyte, and Mr. John Reynolds last night sharing their stories. Grabbed a quick picture with them both. Learned about the talented Mary Whyte and her special artistry gift years ago in high school. Watercolor is truly her niche where her work has touched the sea islands... talented and a great person inside. Shout out to my alma mater St. John's High, Ms. Dowling and the art program. The same goes for Mr. Reynolds. I learned about him from another Islander connect and the work connected to our local pioneers in civil rights as Mr. Esau Jenkins. John, a civil rights activist on the journey for years, known for continuing the legacy of Dr. King, spreading the importance of activism locally. #blackhistorymonth #BHM #marywhyte  #SCOPE50 #SCOPEProject #johnreynolds #SCLC #STJ  #SeaIsland #wellsofwisdom #IslanderPride #FeelGoodFriday #architectturnedplanner #DaddyToldMe
