I will have to stop by the new building and see what might be there on my great, great, grandfather, if anything. He was a member of the 87th Pennsylvania volunteers.

Thanks for a great program. I was most interested in the part about Issac Mell 149th Pa. Co. C. as 2nd Lt. Batdorff of that Co. was my Great Great Grandfathers brother in law and two cousins, Fredrick Matthews and John Matthews Noll, both were wounded at Gettysburg in the same Co. Thanks for your great presentations.

Outstanding presentation! Thank you Mr.Coddington and ACHSG! It would be interesting to see the red hospital flags displayed throughout town during anniversary and remembrance day. It would help to see the gravity of the casualties and generate revenue with tours.

A different bottom-up view of Gettysburg that adds to one's sense of understanding what happened there.

English, Welsh, Scots, Germans, Scandinavians, Flemish, and French. These were hearty men who were descendants of hard work of their ancestors who tamed the wilderness.

Is Ron related to Edwin Coddington who wrote the great, Gettysburg: A Study in Command ?

[@lifeonthecivilwarresearchtrail]

We are distant cousins going way back on the family tree to the Coddingtons who arrived in the colonies in the 17th century.

[@Baskerville22]
