Excellent content! Thanks

[@WildaPerkins-gt2zr]

Tim, I am always fascinated by your stories, and can’t believe how much research you do on each one.

[@sueburkey]

Great talk! I have documentation on a soldier from South Carolina who was taken to a hospital in Chambersburg as a prisoner after the battle of Gettysburg, and came back after the war to marry his nurse. I got the information from a descendent. He lived in Chambersburg for the rest of his life and is buried there.

Thank you so much for making this available for those of us to see who couldn't attend in person. Tim Smith, you did a fantastic job. Very interesting information and very much appreciated.

Tim these are some touching stories. About Love and War. The local gals obviously had empathy for the wounded. As well the survivors. The bigamists are sad.Tim everything you do is 💯% . Thank you very much for all the research you did in this presentation! ❤️👍👊

That's one hell of a magic bullet theory. Down and to the right.

Great presentation ! Did you also record last week’s presentation about the Presidents who visited Gettysburg ? If so, will you be putting that on You Tube,as well ?

[@timothysmith7742]

We did not record that one, but it was received so well, we will do that one again soon. I'll ask about it being filmed next time.

[@sharonharris8152]

@@timothysmith7742 That would be great if you present it again !!! I had to miss it because of snow that day but would love to hear it in person another time !!! Sorry to hear it wasn’t recorded but hopefully you’ll present it again .

Tim could you please be more specific....is the 8th Ohio monument moving or is General Pickett's Buffet moving down the street? We enjoyed your presentation.

[@timothysmith7742]

General Pickett's is said to be reopening as the Farmhouse Restaurant in Cumberland Township at the site of the old Boyd's Bears Store. I am sure you can google it.

What a pity. General Grant asked for plus about 20 000 soldiers from the Congress after the Civil War and the Congress refused this. I think Grant thought of a few young bachelor Northern soldiers to continue their service. 1. The Exconfederate states lost 23% of the white male between 18-45 years, the border states about 12% and the North only 7%. A lot of Southern girls could have found future husbands with decreasing the mutual revulsion between North and South. 2. General Grant with plus 20 000 soldiers (mainly cavalry) could have stopped the Kluk Klux Klan at the root between 1865-1869.

Isnt it also true that the Powers sisters gathered information from the Union soldiers who were being rounded up as prisoners in the town while retreating during the first day's fighting. and

Dang it! Still no mention of whatever happened to Sallie Meyers long suffering beau "Snyder". He wasnt a soldier and i believe Sallie's mother didnt like him - i believe they thought he was sick with TB.
