Thank you Tim for the update on up coming monuments Monday. Thank you! Happy New Year Tim 🎆🎊🎈

I really like the Monuments Monday very much! Would Hope to see a story on the 7th New Jersey volunteers monument and the 2nd Appomattox, Va. Raiders Calvary! Both of my Parents Grandfather fought there on both sides those 3 days. Thanks Tim for Educating us of what happened there and the History why the monuments where put there!

Fantastic content! Thanks very much

I believe there is a memorial tablet at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church on High Street dedicated to the nuns of the Daughters of Charity from Emmitsburg, Maryland. These brave women nursed the wounded after the battle.

Thanks Tim! I am looking forward to the monuments Monday that you have in store for the new year. I am never disappointed watching your episodes. I am sure you will continue to do a good job enlightening your viewers. Happy new year. Till we meet again.

I love Monuments Monday!. I would love to hear about where they were built, who built them, maybe pictures, (if available), and how they transported them to the sites.

I appreciate these videos. Very educational.

Thanks Tim. Monuments Mondays are great. Happy New Year to you & everyone @ ACHS.

Tim - I think all monuments and markers involved in the Gettysburg Campaign, even though some of those markers are located many miles from Gettysburg.... ... looking forward to another year of "Monuments Monday"!

Tim please do a video on Captain Henry V. Fuller monument it's hidden and seldom visited. It would make this western New Yorker happy! Love the videos.

Glenn and I enjoy Monuments Mondays! Were wondering if you perhaps you might be able to share what you know about the Monuments on Neil Avenue.

Thank you for Monuments Mondays Tim! Your videos are great educational tools. I met you this past summer at the museum. I’m from Groveport, Ohio. I’d like to see a video on Ohio Monuments. Thanks for your hard work.

Thanks!

Thank you, Terry!

Monuments Monday is another great feature! Well done, Tim & Crew!

Do episodes on all the Michigan Monuments!

Just as long you include as many photos of the dedications of each monuments.

Would LOVE to learn more about the Buford monument AND that one little monument deep in the Reynolds' Woods that's off the path a ways...Heck--Just "Day One" monuments in general...

The best book that I've found for currently cataloguing an locating all the monuments is called "Guide to Gettysburg Battlefield Monuments" by Tom Huntington. Wonderful color photos and short bio information is available for each monument, as well as GPS location data.

Since the public is prohibited from visiting Neill Ave, I would like to see a Monuments Monday topic devoted to those monuments on Lost Lane.

Loved the driving tour with Tim and Andrew, would love to see another

Monuments that feature real people Tim!

Looking forward to it Tim, you're like a scientist of history because of your attention to detail. Anyway I'd like to see stories about the Battlefield buildings in the war and what happened during the battle. Were people inside, who controlled them, is there still a lot of bullets or other marks in them, were they used as field hospitals?

Would be nice if the aspects you mention were compiled in one place. Realize it would enter a crowded field, but a well written, thoroughly researched, carefully illustrated work could add so much detail and organize content now spread across multiple books.

I am from long island, new York and for monuments Monday I would love you to do monuments dedicated to long island troops that fought at Gettysburg

Strong Vincent monument

Probably already been suggested but the monuments along Neil Ava (aka Lost Ave) might make a good subject, especially in the “less visited” category. Thanks for doing these episodes, they are great!

You've already done my requested monument, the 5th NH... and thanks for that. I believe you cover this topic very well and I wish I had this information when I was an instructor at NFA/EMI in Emmitsburg.

Thanks for Monuments Monday, Tim. I'd love to see an episode about the Longstreet equestrian statue. (Sorry if you've already done one that I missed or if you don't count it as a monument.) It almost looks like an insult to Longstreet since his horse is undersized and, unlike other equestrian statues, is standing directly on the ground without a base.

A good exercise is to try to make sense of the placement of monuments by brigade on Culp's Hill.

Why is there no left most flank marker of either army? And visit monument on Neil Ave.

look forward every Monday to your presentations Tim thank you! also is there any truth that a call went out to the local newspapers for any blacksmiths or veterinarians to come to Gettysburg as they had hundreds of horses wandering the battlefield?

Great to hear that Monuments Monday will continue in the new year. I love these and all of the ideas you propose moving forward sound great. Thanks, Tim, and Happy New Year 🎉.

I'd like to see and know about the monuments that are on Neill AVE, one of the least visited places...

What about a Momument begins and ends episode. Explain the approval process and why some monuments like the 13th Vermont have their Axe at his feet vice carrying and why Sickles bust never made it to the Excelsior Brigade monument. Interesting from where they start and where they finished.

A good idea for a video would be viewers sending in ideas of things for Tim to say that we know he would never. Such as Sickles being his favorite and responsible for the park, Jenny Wade not being that interesting, Devils Den being just a bunch of rocks that aren’t important, John Burns being his personal hero. Viewers could donate to the historical society for it.

Happy New Year Tim. Always enjoy your posts. Would appreciate your thoughts on the possible misplaced Armisted monument in the angle. I personally feel he fell closer to the wall, but would appreciate your thoughts.

I had a relative that served in the 28th pa on culps hill and I understand that they have two monuments there but I have not been able to make the trip recently and I would like to see them. T 1:46

Monument Monday is a great idea. How about some focus on campaign monuments/markers vs battlefield proper monuments/markers in chronological order? Perhaps the airing can coincide with the campaign dates in June/July?

Thank you for putting the work in, Tim! Big fan of monument Mondays.

Would love to know the story of the 2nd Maryland CSA. How it found its way to the Union lines.

i believe this monument honors both union and confederates

Tim, maybe you could focus on a specific monument(as usual)… then explain, in detail, where they actually fought. -Like, if you disregarded the nearness to roads and rules about monument placement, where did the brigades actually fight. Thank you!

Happy New Year's Tim! Is there a way to send in pictures of some of our favorite monuments (idk the name of every one) for you to consider adding their stories to an upcoming video?

Hi Tony! Absolutely. You can send the photos to our Marketing Director at mshaffer@achs-pa.org. She can then pass the suggestions along to Tim.

Ok I'm by

I enjoy Monuments Monday. The monument 's position are temporal, just a moment in time. I like detail on the Regiments movements in the whole Gettysburg campaign. My ancestor's monument is in the Wheafield, I visited it for the first time in the mid 70's. Over the years I learned the unit was up on Stoney Hill and postioned at one point in the woods of Wheatfield road. Sure its the same for all regiments. I like your background on the regiment's intial formation. I think qoutes from the dedications of the monuments give insight into what the war meant to them. I like your idea of going to other monuments across the region to tell the Gettysburg Campaign story. I live near the Pipe Creek line that Meade had proposed. A number of Markers to visit and stories to tellbin that context.

141st Pennsylvania who lost 70% of their men on July 2nd. My home County regiment, Bradford County PA . Col Magill and Lt Col. Watkins. Both great men. Watkins was killed in 1864 at Petersburg.

Love the episodes! How about highlighting a specific monument that was dedicated on a specific Monday date? Like if a monument was dedicated on Monday January 8th for example tell the story of that monument. Again enjoy these alot!

How about covering damage to monuments over the years? I know Ben Crippen was almost damaged by falling trees a few years ago. Thanks!

Rarely Visited Monuments is my choice.

How about "Missing Markers Monday"--markers that were never erected but should have been!

66th OVI monument and especially their precarious position on the 2nd and 3rd.

Pls do pa 143 2xmonuments.

At the end of each segment you guys should show 30 seconds of gary adelman flapping his hands about in mute ( i love gary)

The Monuments Monday presentations are great. Please, not to be critical, but when filming in the field, avoid presenting as though you were talking to a tour group instead of an individual watching from California. Verbal explanations and pointing are lost to those of us not intimately familiar with the geography, especially when you refer to present day roads. Would it be possible to show a map or aerial photo with an indicator where the monuments, the associated flank markers and advance positions are? Adding a set of arrows indicating the movement of the unit from the monument to its advance position would be terrific. Understand the focus of the presentation is on the monument, but, as you do verbally now, some context adds a lot. Complicated visuals aren't needed - for someone on ACHS staff, it would be neither complex or time consuming to create a visual that would be sufficient. NPS GIS specialist might help you with background images / maps - as the care of battlefield artifacts is a major allocation of NPS resources, GIS likely has inventory he could share.
