Significant loss always has an impact on the neighborhood. The Battle of Gettysburg resulted in the deaths of over 50,000 people. The number of deaths during those three days was the highest during the entire battle. Killing spilled out into the streets and among the homes.

They have a basis in reality, and I can guarantee you that every word you hear tonight—however horrifying, tragic, or unbelievable—does in fact come from the area's past.
