One of my heros of Gettysburg . Elizabeth Thorn. What an incredible person. Her story is something every American should know. I wish you would have told a little more about the Thorns.
Providing a commentary and reflections regarding the citizens affected by the conflict. Some of the statements from people, residents I have not been aware of.Well done!
NEW SUBCRIBER. Adam, fantastic information. Tim Smith displays brilliance in his knowledge of Gettysburg. I last visited Gettysburg in 1997. Thank you. Eaglegards...
Always enjoyable to view these videos. Tim Smith is such a wonderful story teller . He brings the past alive. In reference to the saying on Robert Gettys tombstone- my great great grandmother Margaret Schneider ( York County PA)had the same verse on her tombstone. Very interesting and informative.
Thank you gentlemen for such a great program! My wife Bettina and I were just in the cemetery taking our own tour prior to going to see Tim speak about "Researching Historical Properties" at the Adams County Historical Museum! That was fantastic as well. Can't wait to go back and find these and other note-worthy spots from this program.
I enjoy your videos. Great to have people like you who are so knowledgeable. I've always been interested in Civil War history. I made a Civil War quilt
Really enjoyed the presentation Andrew and Tim!!!! Plan on spending a few days this summer in Gettysburg, going to try to see it all but this may take several 3 day trips!
Can't say enough about ACHS, made even more special with Canada/U.S. border being closed due to Covid...Keep up the GREAT work...From Ontario Canada....
Amazing and informative tour! The guides are so captivating! I can’t wait to visit Gettysburg again. I’ve been there once but didn’t spend nearly enough time to appreciate the incredible experience that is this town.
Good program. You held my interest all the way through. I am 72. I live up in the Hudson Valley of NY. I visited Gettysburg twice. Once in 1964 and the second time in HS in 1967. Never did visit Evergreen Cemetery, but it is very interesting Keep up the great work for the future generations.
That poem you referenced also exists on a couple of stones in Old Tennent Church cemetery in NJ (which was a hospital after the Battle of Monmouth in the Revolutionary War).
A great series of stories! Thank you both for sharing them! I had relatives in the 17th Virginia Cavalry who were there as well as relatives in the 3rd West Virginia Cavalry. Any chance of ever visiting the John Majors home where General Albert G. Jenkins (C.S.A.) was taken after being wounded by an exploding Yankee shell that killed his horse?
Thank u so much for ur video ,love cemeteries all are a part of priceless history ❤️ is the book available on Amazon ? I love reading and would like to read more about this cemetery and Gettysburg area 😀
Great tour Tim and Andrew - I was lucky to have Tim do a town tour for me last year. So, what's deal with the Jones marker - 'God works thru idiots and I was living proof' - I have not found anything on that.
Where are the soldiers Elizabeth Thorn buried in relation to the Gate House? Were they moved to the National Cemetery? Great program; look forward to the citizens photographs displayed in one place. It will be like walking into the 1863 town!
Col. Cope would have been a good one... His commission papers signed by Lincoln are in Harrisburg with a relative, i was lucky enough to hold them in my hand. His relative also has a oil painting the Col did of Gen Meade in the year 1900. For a 121 year old painting, its in immaculate condition.
I think you may have captured an EVP at the 47:35 mark. I listened to it several times thinking it could be a faint scraping sound but no it really sounds like a young girl whispering a word like "Fanny" or "Daddy" (??). I'm wondering if I'm the only one that heard that? Well ghost or not 😊 I really enjoyed this presentation. Thank you.
Read the book " days of darkness gettysburg civilians" some of the people mentioned in the book are buried there. That will be my next adventure when I go back to Gettysburg to look for there graves. I have seen through pictures but not the same as in person.
Hello My name is Deanna Simpson. My husband is Tom Simpson. We just purchased a family plot here at the Beautiful Evergreen . Here is another Historical Fact for you . Ulysses Simpson Grant is related to Tom Simpson.
I should have said "Well done Tim and all concerned" -- I included Gary (Adelman), who I don't think was present for this one, but he's great also. My bad.
I like the way you do this. But it would be really a lot better if you had Reenactment people to stand by the graves that you show dressed the way that they would have been at the time the time of their lives and let them tell their stories then when their story is done they could bow their heads heads and be done
