Gettysburg Rebels: Five Native Sons Who Came Home to Fight as Confederate Soldiers 

Outstanding presentation Tom. I gotta read your books. I grew up in Norristown, Pennsylvania and I have been fascinated by the War Between the States since I was a young boy. I'm about your age now, and living in New England, but I'll always be a Pennsylvania boy. All the best.

Tom, if you read these comments, I just wanted to say, as a lover of gettysburg and civil war history, this was an absolutely terrific presentation. 5 stars sir. I also live about an hour and 15 min west of gettysburg. Again well done

What great stories and Super job done by the MacMillians! I was hanging on every word. Having a GGGrandfather that fought in the Civil War and my Love for Gettysburg made it all very special. I enjoy writing down information from Civil War Vets and researching their regimental flags, histories and the like. Thank You So Much! Many Blessings and Great Journeys with Joy of Being!

Fantastic! Not only have you proven yourself as a researcher and writer, what a phenomenal storyteller!

Well done. Helps give us a real taste of Civli War Americana.

Outstanding. Well done!

This is an interesting story. I will have to read it. I was aware of the Wentz and Culp families, but not all these details.

OMG!! Amazing story! (history) I'm gonna have to get your books, I'm also interested in the story of Armistead and Hancock...I can't get enough of it browsing online

Awesome contribution Tom. The diary was awesome and very detailed..

This is truly wonderful historical info of everyday life. So cool to learn about. Thank you ACHS!!

It is amazing to think these soldiers could actually fire on their own friends, neighbors and acquaintences, much less their own flesh and blood... Fascinating and fresh Gettysburg History, thank you!

Excellent Job!!!

Brilliant 👏. Very interesting

Wow! Very interesting. Great research and presentation! Thank you!

I enjoyed this very much. Your presentation style is most refreshing. Thank you.

My son and I are the the last of this Hoffman bloodline. I have the full Hoffman blood-line in actual paper if anyone is interested, back to 1785 which includes Frances/William/Wilhelm our "brick-wall" as we can't find anything past him being a carriage-maker who died in Baltimore. I have visited Gettysburg and have always been curious to get in touch with family members. I have actually contacted family. Some of them are in Texas and last knew, cousins in Vegas around my age. Yes, this story is true as I have actual "paper" in a giant binder collected over 30+ years. And yes, being a rebel is in the bloodline. Tom, please reach out to me.

So interesting!!

Very interesting. I enjoyed this very much,Thank You to all that made this possible.

I read the book recently, fascinating stories.

You can make it six. Born in Chambersburg but lived my life in the South. Rebel through and rough.

Really enjoyed this. Thanks

Absolutely incredible!

What a great discussion and glimpse into past lives. I was wondering when the Gold Rush TV Hoffmans went to Oregon.

Really most interesting.

George Thomas, a Virginian, fought for the Union. John Pemberton, a Pennsylvanian, fought for the Confederacy.

Why does the event say live tonight at 6 pm but the premier is tomorrow at 8 am? Please fix this

My screen says '25 waiting'. Also says that it premiers the 19th at 6AM. One FB site promoted the event for 7PM tonight. A different link from their FB page says the event starts at 7:15 tonight.

Wes Culp was lost in the battle

Is this eastern time central or pacific time?

Nice how you threw in that virtue signal at the end.

Please dont stop feeding the birds! They are going away. Today I saw many young crows practically starving because they were gathered in a group close to the people, some with mouths open, and one was trying to make eye contact with me and I had to see what I had to offer. When I threw some banana chips they rushed over so quickly and ate evry crumb. They looked so dishelveled, feathers everywhere, they were tiny and skinny and looked overall not healthy. When I say many, I meant that all the crows throughout my day as I commute to/from work, an average of 4hrs a day, (yes I know how much time that is but to me it's worth it.). I see only groups of about 8-12 crows in any given parking lot where, in the past, (as recent as this time last year) there were at least 50 or so crows hanging in smaller groups around the same area. I dont see or hear the song birds much anymore. If I do its like one bird. When I asked people if they have noticed the birds not being around the majority of responses I get is that the birds decided to go back to the woods, or they havent noticed. There are other things I have noticed with the birds that are worrysome but would take me very long 2 type up on here. Still, I am very concerned. Please, Feed the Birds! Winter is coming.

Pretty great, not so subtle virtue signal about "fighting on the side that perpetuated slavery" at the end there. We would've never known that. Make sure to thank all the upper class, woke, college educated suburbanite white women and AOC for filling us in there, pal.
