Bill Dowling - Part 1: Life as a traveling musician with the circus

Thousands of books and articles have been written about the Battle of Gettysburg. Almost every topic has been thoroughly scrutinized except one: Paul Philippoteaux's massive cyclorama painting The Battle of Gettysburg, which depicts Pickett's Charge, the final attack at Gettysburg. The Gettysburg Cyclorama: The Turning Point of the Civil War on Canvas is the first comprehensive study of this art masterpiece and historic artifact. This in-depth study of the history of the cyclorama discusses every aspect of this treasure, which was first displayed in 1884 and underwent a massive restoration in 2008. Coverage includes not only how it was created and what it depicts, but the changes it has undergone and where and how it was moved. 			A life-long love of Civil War history brought Chris Brenneman, Sue Boardman, and Bill Dowling to Gettysburg. Today they are all Licensed Battlefield Guides at the Gettysburg National Military Park. As part of his job working for the Gettysburg Foundation, Chris has spent hundreds of hours observing the Battle of Gettysburg Cyclorama painting. 			Sue Boardman was the historical consultant for the Gettysburg Foundation for the massive project to conserve and restore the Gettysburg cyclorama, and has authored several books and articles on Civil War topics. Sue currently serves as the Leadership Program Director for the Gettysburg Foundation. 			Bill Dowling is an award-winning photographer, specializing in historical landscape photography, with a special interest in the Gettysburg Battlefield. Bill's photographs have been published in books and magazines as well as appearing on the "Jumbo-Tron" in New York's Times Square.
