 This is a set of vintage 35mm Kodachrome slides, dated May 1975, documenting historical sites related to the Battle of Gettysburg and the 8th Illinois Cavalry. The handwritten notes on the slide mounts reference key locations, including the Chambersburg Road northwest of town, which was significant in the opening moments of the battle.

Kodachrome slides were popular for high-quality color photography and were often used by historians, educators, and battlefield enthusiasts to document Civil War landmarks. Given the historical subject matter and possible rare imagery, these slides could be of interest to Civil War collectors, battlefield researchers, or history museums.

Medium: Kodachrome 35mm slides in paper mounts
