Ask A Gettysburg Guide #96- Carl Shurz with LBG Ralph Siegel

[@davidspencer6384]

12 months ago today, I landed in the USA and then arrived in Gettysburg for a wonderful week of exploring, learning, eating and drinking. And had a day at Antietam, too. Not pining for that right now, of course. Not one bit. Please keep making these great episodes. You and the American Battlefield Trust were who tipped the scales in favour of visiting. Thank you.

(That was English sarcasm, by the way. I miss that grand town!)

[@addressinggettysburg]

That’s awesome! I trust you enjoyed your visit and I’m glad we were part of pushing you to do so. That’s pretty good company you put us in, too!

[@addressinggettysburg]

Haha yes I picked up on that.

I am of German decent. This program was awesome. Danke Herr Speigle.

I agree! The era of German history would have been around the time my ancestors immigrated to America - VERY interesting stuff for me - THANKS!

Ihr Deutsch ist so gut wie mein Englisch. Das könnt ihr als Kompliment nehmen, oder nicht. Ihr seid super und macht einen deutschen Zuhörer/Zuseher sehr glücklich. Danke und macht weiter so.

[@addressinggettysburg]

Vielen Dank. Ich wünschte, ich könnte mindestens EINEN Satz auf Deutsch sprechen. Ralph kann es besser vortäuschen als ich. Danke fürs Zuhören.

You bet! Thank you!

There was an bald eagle circling "Lake Crawford" about three weeks ago.

82nd Illinois was organized in Springfield and also contained large amount of Germans from McLean and Peoria Counties in Central IL plus those from Madison and St. Clair counties bordering St. Louis, MO, 300 miles south of Chicago. Not just “Chicago Germans” it was a statewide Illinois German and European immigrant regiment 😉.

[@addressinggettysburg]

thanks for the clarification
