Of all the Gettysburg historians, Tim has the best sense of humor. Keep on people...

When Tim smith is in the video i’m watching it.

Tim is the best. I've been to Gettysburg many times, and by chance the last time I went I happened to get him as a battlefield guide on a bus tour. I can't get enough of his knowledge of the area and the battle. I am so glad he has videos up on KZread.

Thank you - glad you are enjoying them!

Cool ! Tim is the best, A true historian .... keeping the torch of history alive...I worry that 50 years from now nobody will care...but Batchelder probably thought the same thing...

Stand firm ye friends of the apostrophe! Some years ago I did venture down to this area. I seem to remember the guidebook mentioning the location of the old tram bridge that carried guests across Willoughby's Run to the Gettysburgh Springs Hotel. Enjoyed this video!

Tim is a Gettysburg history guru!

You guys are knocking it out of the ballpark! Love the History/videos, Tim is one of the best, but I'm so impressed with all of you (Adams County, Addressing Gettysburg, ABT, the GNMP...)... Thank you!

Thanks so much!

That cracked me up. Well done!!

What a great area to observe. Thanks Tim.

Fantastic thanks for sharing 👍

Hey Tim I really like your detailed accounts of the battle as well as locations of post war buildings etc. Keep up the good work!

what's with all the hoopla about the "Apostrophe Ass"? LOL

I am enjoying these videos!

Everyone knows Eisenhower never lost a ball.

This is a very good channel I subbed a long ago and wait for new videos all the time, Tim is great, this video backs that, he pays attention to detail, good job tim

Good stuff I liked the ending lol

I love it! Willoughby's run apostrophe s ✔️ Eisenhower's golf ball lol 👍

Fantastic! I just started reading Warren Hassler's "Crisis At The Crossroads" after having it on my bookshelf for 25 years. I've got the Bachelder birds eye view map downloaded on my pc to facilitate zooming into the battle action. These videos bring me back to the battlefield even though I live much further away now and can't visit like I used to.

How about "Willow 🐝🐝"?? Just kidding, Tim! I agree with you on keeping the correct spelling. Another gem of a video from y'all - thanks!

I love the knowledge Tim Smith imparts. My Sister in law was born in Gettysburg and has ancestors who were living in Gettysburg and Adams County before the time of the Battle. Her maiden name was Reading and her mother was a Shealer I don't know if I am spelling this correctly. There is a road named after her mother's family east of Gettysburg .

Was it a Titleist? Maybe it was James Archer's. I hear he had a terrible slice.

E Tim splish splashing. Good stuff. An Ike golf ball! WTG.

An apostrophe matters!

Cool! I have been there!

I was at Gettysburg for the 150th anniversary and a ranger mentioned that the park had just acquired the land on the western side of Willoughby's Run. It was such a recent acquisition that there was no signage and the old hotel and other buildings and infrastructure was still there. Even though it was the 150th and there were a lot of tourists, I had the place to myself. It was awesome.

The Springs Hotel opened in 1869 and burned down around 1917, well prior to the establishment of Gettysburg Country Club. The National Park Service did not acquire the modern buildings that housed the clubhouse and restaurant.

I strongly disagree Tim. That ball could have been duffed by any world leader that came to visit Ike at The country club. There is no proof of proof that Ike himself sliced that one.

Tim that’s a great Video. Thank you for sharing! How did you know that golf ball came from President seal ?

I was standing in this creek today….

Great video! Looking forward to seeing that golf ball in the new museum! :) On a more serious note, what detailed map book of the battlefield and area would you recommend?

We would recommend "Maps of Gettysburg" by Bradley Gottfried.

stand for the 's and Oxford comma. Pretty much every standard and norm is under attack these days.

I’m a total, Oxford, comma, guy!

Thanks - that's a nice little talk. Sadly, Tim, you may be fighting a losing battle on behalf of the apostrophe 's' - over here in England it is as good as lost. I'm not sure which is the more unmentionable - apostrophes being omitted, or, as I see equally frequently, apostrophes inserted where they aren't needed. Er, can you prove that Ike hit that ball? TO ARMS ! TO ARMS in punctuation! - the apostrophe will rise again!

James Archer was captured by Patrick Maloney, Co. G, 2nd Wisconsin. Pvt. Maloney was killed in battle later that day.

I like Ike ! Cool stuff !

So it was important to fill your canteen when advancing across?

5:24 is that a Titleist?

If golf balls could talk....

I agree with Tim 100%. It really irks me and gets my blood boiling when modern maps, GPS etc change names and small annotations to historic roads, markers, bodies if water etc. I seen it recently here in fulton county where I live west if you. Gets my blood boiling.

I will gladly join your crusade for correct apostrophes and the Oxford comma.

Nice job as always TIM. But is it H A U N T E D ??????

The German word, 'Herr', means 'mister'.

Is it pronounced “hair” or “her”?

@@LaurieGeePea Best advice: Go to 'Google translate'. Type in the word and select 'German'. A native speaker pronounces the word.
