Is still a thing? If so, we're throwing it all the way back to 1863 and the story of The Unlucky Eight.

When the Confederate army withdrew from Gettysburg on the evening of July 3, 1863, they took eight Gettysburg citizens with them. These men didn't return home for another two years.

Many thanks to Jane Malone, retired teacher, retired Gettysburg Licensed Town Guides, and active student of Gettysburg history, for bringing us their story: https://www.mydigitalpublication.com/publication/?i=837724&p=24&view=issueViewer
