Ask A Gettysburg Guide #20- Barlow's Knoll

Matt, Tim and Bob discuss the fateful decision of Major General Francis CHANNING Barlow to move his division to the Knoll that now bears his name. In comparison to other locations like The Peach Orchard or Little Round Top, Barlow’s Knoll is one of the lesser-talked-about phases of The Battle of Gettysburg. Podcast listening helps, but visiting places like Barlow’s Knoll and hearing or reading the story of it makes it come alive. Be sure to include a trip to Gettysburg in your travel plans.

This episode has , sadly, decreased my appreciation of Barlow. Post Civil War , Barlow was the United States Marshal for NY. The same agency I proudly served for 26 years. I think his service as a US Marshal was better than his day at Gettysburg. Great episode!
