    THANK YOU so much for inserting the image with the "Tim is here" label. With these close up shots, it's so hard to "picture" where we are -- especially those that haven't been to Gettysburg in MANY years and are not that familiar with it as it lies today. I genuinely appreciate that insert. Thank you. And as always, great job Tim and ACHS!

    APPRECIATE YOU ACHS!! I've been several times and have participated in battlefield walks at this location. Even though the landscape has been altered., it gives you perspective on the Confederate attack

    Took a tour with Tim several years ago to these spots. Well worth getting off the beaten path once in awhile to discover these hidden gems.

    Thanks Tim!! I was recently at Mr G’s for their great ice cream and was sitting on the bench enjoying it and could see where we parked at the High School. We didn’t realize how sacred the ground was until now!! Thanks!! Ed from Lynchburg

    I remember seeing posts about the land that was purchased and the house removed at these flank markers, but I have not been to this area yet. It is on my list for this summer's visit. Thanks for more great info, Tim!

    Thank you for this video Tim. Just last night, I finished reading John Archers book “East Cemetery Hill at Gettysburg”. Being from Ohio, it was neat to see the flank markers, which are on my list to see in a few weeks.

    Wow. That was a lot more expanded info besides just covering the markers. That was outstanding even for someone like me who has been to all those spots.

    Very glad to see that in these recent years access to this important area is now more open and accessible. May God bless the memory of those troops who struggled there. Remember their sacrifice--107th Ohio V.I. student.

    Thank you! Where is that land the American Battlefield Trust owns that the 25th/75th flank markers are?

    Did I miss a flank marker? I counted only 3.

    I did not count the left flank marker to the 25th-75th because it is on NPS property. I know, my methods of counting all very complicated.
