Jennie Wade's Gettysburg
As a result of being the only civilian killed during the Battle of Gettysburg, Mary Virginia Wade has been one of the most famous of all Civil War personalities. And while the house she was killed in has been heavily visited over the years, other sites in town associated with her life are not as well known. Join ACHS Historian Timothy H. Smith as we travel to some of the lesser-known places associated with Jennie Wade’s life and legacy.

Tim's attention to detail is amazing. Learned more about Jennie in these 20 minutes than I knew in 20 years. Great presentation.

Who the hell is Jennie? I thought she was the lecturer.
This is the most detailed information I have ever found on the Wade family. I have visited the house where Jennie was killed several times over the years, but have always walked away feeling I found only a few facts leading up to that fateful day. Thank you for the incredible history relating to the Wade family.
I'm so excited to see Tim again! I saw him speak on The History Underground's channel and I enjoy the way he tells the stories. Well done!

American Battlefield Trust is his home! Definitely check him out there. JD is amazing, isnt he?
Very nice, thank you. I’ve known the basic story of Jennie and all, have visited her sister’s house a couple times too. But you really fleshed out much more about her life and background. I’ll always find it so tragic that she never learned her sweetheart’s fate, nor he, hers. I actually stayed in that Farnsworth House once, I remember they told us how the sniper used the attic as his perch.
I live in Pennsylvania and I have been to Gettysburg numerous times throughout the 1980's , Thank You for Your awesome Video
They also erected A Beautiful statue where Jenny Wade is buried I've been to Gettysburg twice and look forward to going back someday
Very well done, Tim! Thanks for the details of the story. Your professionalism and research are appreciated.

He is a big part of the American Battlefield Trust. He knows almost all it seems
Had heard of Jenny, but not the details in this video. Great job.👍 Poor girl to die so young. Rip Jenny.
This is a wonderful video. I always wanted to know more about Jennie Wade and her family. It is great that all the houses were visited - I saw the three houses last visit.
It's so tragic 😢 I hope Jennie and Jack are together and at peace ❤️
Jennie Wade was a Patriot and should be remembered , when most were hiding in fear and rightfully so, Jennie wasn’t 🤗🇺🇸💕🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. Enjoyed this thank you so much
This is where Jenny was killed but that is not Jenny wades home she was visiting her sister to help out as her sister just had a baby. Ms. Wade lived closer to town
My Grandmother ADA WETZEL KEEFER purchased and rented out a boarding house and small retail shop directly across Baltimore Street where the road takes a very sharp turn....in 1958 after my Grandfather Jerre Keefer died of a heart attack (the family homestead was a farm in Mummasburg).... Many Wonderful memories of the 'Jennie Wade House' and heartfelt story of her shortened life and that of her love Mr Skelly,etc,etc.... Obviously my lifelong passion for HISTORY can be traced to growing up on Baltimore Street... Unfortunately that home was just recently destroyed in a huge fire caused in a fatal automobile accident......GOD BLESS✝️🛐🇺🇸❤

This is just a tragic, horrible story what happened to that property. Some man was driving 3 times the speed limit there and lost control and crashed his car into that building and it blew up, and caused that terrible fire. Just sad, and so unnecessary.

Wow. I've toured Eastern State. Don't remember hearing about him. Would be a good snippet if they don't have it already.
Did I just see orbs at the Sweeney house attic 18:02-18:59?
