[QUOTE="calcol, post: 3026831, member: 77639"]You might be right. After the battle at Gettysburg, Meade's army moved southeast, i.e. toward Washington DC.

I'd like to know more about why a wagon of gold (coins or bullion) was in NW Pennsylvania in the first place. Where did it originate? Cal[/QUOTE]
