IX Corps & Others Trip

I am planning out a sweet trip in August for some of my War of Rights buddies who have never visited battlefields before. Part of the trip will be centered around the IX corps and its activities during the Maryland campaign, but of course we will also detour up to Gettysburg and have a LBG give us a tour about the 28th Mass. Regiment.
