That's a haunting battlefield for sure. I've taken my kids there many times and each time there is a different feel. The sheer volume of slaughter was just amazing. Marching side by side into what .54 cal ball fire and cannon fire. I would have turned and ran, hell I would have not shown up. 

The only thing harder to imagine is why they did the same thing all over again in WW1 only then there was barbed wire and machine guns. I visited some old European battlefields years ago, Somme, Verdun. There are still indentations from trench's and shell fire.

"Field of Lost Shoes" (2014) is another good one.
