    Tim please do a tour with Garry. Those one day tours you use to do twice a year. Those are the best.

    A good introduction to the Battle of Gettysburg is Shelby Foote's Stars in their Courses. It is short and very readable. It consists of the Gettysburg section extracted from Foot's Civil War series and published separately. High Tide at Gettysburg, as Smith mentions, is longer but very entertaining. Beware, however, as these are the gateway drugs to Pfanz, Codddington, et al.

    Tim, you had me rolling on the floor when you described Gary in one word. Frantic! He just can't contain his passion for history. I love it! Thank you for the excellent work you all do to bring us videos to educate us on our nations struggles and triumphs. I am grateful!

    I used to love the audio buttons around the battlefield. I wish they would update them and reinstall them. It was so beneficial, for the kids especially, to be able to press and hear a story about what occurred.

    Now they expect you to download an audio guide on your phone and play it at each stop. So, you can still get the same info, although not as convenient.

    Hey, Tim. My favorite audio button was out past the Virginia Monument. They talked about Pickett's Charge [of course] and about the 28th Virginina. I'm partial to the 28th as my Greatx3 grandfather was captured, fighting with the 28th, during Pickett's Charge.

    I have a question. Tim might not know but I'd like to get his theory on this. Why is General Barksdale's grave not marked by name on the Elliot map? I read that he wasn't moved until 1867, and when they buried him on the Hummelbaugh property under a cherry tree, they gave him a headboard. There are some Confederate graves marked near the Hummelbaugh house, just none marked specifically as Barksdale. The Hunmelbaugh property isnt named on the map either, but the buildings are marked. Sorry about the long question.

    Hi Tim! I am building a diorama of the Gettysburg 1st Day battle and would like to know if the Chambersburg Pike bridge over Willoughby's Run in 1863 was made of stone, wood, or both (the supports stone and the rest wood)? What were most of the Gettysburg bridges made of at that time? In the Scourge of War: Gettysburg simulation it is shown as all wood. Right now I have created it as all wood, but need confirmation. Thanks for all you do!!
