Ask A Gettysburg Guide #61- Willard vs. Barksdale- with Charlie Fennell

[@JeffreyLang-j5i]

Dr. Fennell is absolutely the best. Simply a national treasure!!

[@addressinggettysburg]

He really is

[@jacobmasters438]

I saw the mysterious Red Shirt Guy when me and my Dad visited Gettysburg back in June. He was doing a group tour next to the railroad station.

[@addressinggettysburg]

He’s everywhere!

I call it the "Plum Run Swale". As of 2024 the Willard monument is still mowed and accessable. Wet.... of freaking course... but accessable.

lol

That maps are you references during the dialogue?

[@addressinggettysburg]

These are the two map books we often use. www.amazon.com/gp/product/1932714820/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=addressingg08-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=1932714820&linkId=7136c06766e457d64402ca27cc60fffa This one is harder to get on Amazon but you can find it around Gettysburg Gettysburg Campaign Atlas a.co/d/5jR3s7s

[@H.G.Wells-ishWells-ish]

What maps are you referencing during the dialogue? Should be an edit feature. 🥴🥴🥴

[@addressinggettysburg]

We always refer to the Gettysburg Atlas by Laino. We just refer to it as the “Laino book”. We also will use Bradley Gottfried’s Maps of Gettysburg. I’d love to have the staff the add visuals to these shows. Eventually I’ll get there but it’s just not in the budget yet.

Ask Charlie what the name of the rabbit that Barksdales men kicked up was...LOL.. He has an answer for that btw

[@addressinggettysburg]

I will

@@addressinggettysburg My unit did a 2 hour tour with Charlie years ago, it was his big joke during the tour

[@joslynscott466]

Gee, Matt. It was bad enough you beat up Woodrow Wilson. But then you questioned George Washington's thought process?

[@addressinggettysburg]

I did what now?

How the heck does saying a supply depot for the revolutionary War was not a good fit for the Civil War a shot at Washington?
