Part 11 of the Gettysburg Series
The human suffering of war goes well beyond that of the combatants. Often overlooked is the experience of the civilians caught in the middle. This episode explores the story of Jennie Wade, the 20 year old woman who became the only civilian to be killed during the Battle of Gettysburg.

Those rope bedframes also gave us the term "sleep tight" because each night before you climbed in the bed, you had to pull those ropes tight for support.

@kravitz1999 3 года назад

I learn it derived from beds slaves would sleep on made of wood bed frames and ropes for support. Hay was then stuffed between the ropes as a cushion. The bedding (hay) would often become homes for bugs, so if you didn't tighten your ropes, the bugs would bite or sting you, hence the term "Sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite"

This is the best narration of Jennie I have heard before, you don't get the small little extras from other stories. It's sad all around, Jennie's beau Jack, and his friend all die. I knew about the roped beds, but was astonished at the rolling pin beds. I'm 74 years now, but remember my Grandfather always had a feather mattress. He, and Grandma had separate bedrooms, and Grandma would make his bed each day, and level the feather mattress out with a broom, and you better not touch. I was allowed to huddle, and play on it, only before she made the bed. Thanks JD, your amazing.

Yet she continued to care for her convalescing sister, her one week old nephew, the rest of her family, and the Union soldiers, only to become the only civilian casualty. Her bravery and strength is truly awe inspiring. If only she had thought to put brickwork instead of just wooden doors between herself and the outside. Hindsight is 20/20. So sad.

But if the table that she had been working at had been moved to the rear of the kitchen area she would've been behind the outside brick wall instead of the outside door (the first door the bullet struck) and possibly wouldn't have been hit. I seems that the bullets that hit the brickwork didn't always penetrate into the rooms.

Why is a bullet hole that reminds a family of the death of a loved one, still there after 150 years? Guess we will never know the true circumstances, but I’m sure fixing battle damage wasn’t a high priority in the immediate aftermath. Another great story, well done.

Some civilians saw these early "Tourists" as a money making opportunity and charged them for tours of their battle damaged buildings fences and trees on the property.

The music was so appropriate for this story. It is a sad story particularly when you add the stories of the 2 young soldiers. And they soon after joined each other in death. Everyone suffered during the Civil War. Women were left alone to try and keep a farm or business going. If they were lucky, they had parents, in laws, cousins around to help with plowing, planting, and canning. They still had a household to run. Census records after the war show a preponderance of no men or children. Groups of loosely related women were living together to try and survive. I read an account of a soldier returning home. He was walking down a dirt road which was at least two times wider from troop movements. He passed farm after farm with vacant houses. Weeds grew to the roofs. Windows were broken out and curtains blew in and out with the wind. There were no birds, rabbits,or farm animals. Everything was dead and soul less. It left me haunted. I know you have felt the same. Your blogs make history come alive and by doing so we cannot help but feel some of the heartache felt by those impacted by the War.

I walked through the house alone when I was 14. There used to be a projector that projected the image onto a mannequin soldier's face that told the story. Since I was the only one going through, the lady at the gift shop allowed me to go by myself. It was an experience I will never forget. There was definitely a presence there.

I was there when I was about 14 or 15 and I felt the same thing and saw the soldier on the mannequins face

@@youronlybabygirl25 It was definitely an eerie feeling. There seems to be a lot of residual energy at Gettysburg. In the evening near Devil's Den you can hear musketry and cannon fire in the distance. It's such a great place to visit.

Very good presentation. I have been in the house twice. I think you can feel her spirit there.

@Realstuffadventures 2 года назад

I have always known about this person, but sadly I have never took the time to visit the house. Your video has provided an excellent tour and a great visual story of this tragedy. Like one view says below, you scoring makes a great impact in your story telling and it does provide a brief intermission to absorb what you have presented in a meaningful way

Such a tragic and moving story. I knew about Jennie Wade, I didn’t know about Jack Skelly and Wesley Culp. That makes the whole thing more tragic. The way you presented the account of these three was vey thoughtful. Love these videos! Thanks and keep up the great work!
