[@heynsenene]

Wow! Just found this episode! My GGGGrandfather was a flying Dutchman! 75th PA. I'm so excited

[@addressinggettysburg]

[@carolinechronowski6080]

Excellent! I am very interested in this part of the battle.

2 great grandfathers were in the 11th corps. The 82nd OVI were north of town. The 55th was back at the Cemetery, having been shot up pretty good at Chancellorsville.

My 3rd great-grandfather was in the 55th Ohio also. This segment has been very interesting.

I’ve hired Stuart twice for 4-hour 11th Corps tours. They were outstanding. He knows more about this part of the battle than anyone there. With two ancestors in this part of the battle, he’s passionate and knowledgeable. This part of the battle is so overlooked yet vital to understanding what happened. On July 2nd, many of these men were positioned at the base of East Cemetery Hill, fighting in the dark against Hayes and Avery. Another poor position and thin line but they fought bravely. Adelbert Ames, colonel of the 20th Maine was transferred to the 11th corps shortly before the battle which led to Chamberlain’s promotion to colonel of the 20th Maine. Ames’ 11th Corps men were at Barlow’s Knoll and East Cemetery HIll.

Stuart is fantastic! We're hoping to have him on again in the near future. Thanks for listening!

[@bryanfields5563]

Stuart Dempsey's multisegment presentation on the 11th Corps on "The Gettysburg Daily" website is OUTSTANDING - enjoy!

[@addressinggettysburg]

It's a phenomenal write up. Thanks for listening!

[@jumpmaster82nd.]

Does Gettyburg Daily ever get updated? I'm almost positive I've subscribed before but don't get anything new.

[@bryanfields5563]

@@jumpmaster82nd. No, not really. Sad there's nothing new going in there, but it's still a fantastic resource. There are lots of other resoiurces today that we didn't have back when TGD was active.

[@jumpmaster82nd.]

Had 2 ancestors in the 73rd OVI. A 2nd Lt. In D Company and a 1st Sgt. in G Company. They were cousins. Going to have to hire Stewart myself someday to get into that fight a bit deeper.

[@addressinggettysburg]

he's a great guide to listen to on a tour

I just pronounce "Krzyzanowski" as Shuh-SHEV-ski since apparently the letters have nothing to do with pronunciation for these guys.

[@npgtom]

Same as the Duke basketball coach? Spelled very differently though.

[@jangiel3103]

Hard K sound mixed with a thick z sound, the y is the equivalent of the short i sound in English, a is equivalent of the short a sound in English, the o sounds like "awe" in English, the w is our v sound and ski is the same as ski as in snow ski. Everything is pronounced.

[@tberkoff]

So much Barlow bashing...His friends and family called him Frank. No one called him Channing.

[@addressinggettysburg]

lol it's an inside joke that goes back to an episode from last year

[@refugeeca]

lol who's the PC gamer in the room? - I hear constant tapping of a keyboard and mouse

[@addressinggettysburg]

That's Eric the Producer running the studio computer. lol

[@tberkoff]

Its pronounced "Sh-urz"; there is no "t".

[@addressinggettysburg]

yeah we go back and forth

[@blackrocks8413]

I had a LBG pronounce it (correcting me) as Chizz-now-ski
