Splashing Through Willoughby's Run & A Rare Discovery

[@horatioyachapovich6919]

Of all the Gettysburg historians, Tim has the best sense of humor. Keep on people...

[@KEVINTOWNER2]

Tim is the best. I've been to Gettysburg many times, and by chance the last time I went I happened to get him as a battlefield guide on a bus tour. I can't get enough of his knowledge of the area and the battle. I am so glad he has videos up on KZbin.

[@AdamsCountyHistoricalSociety]

Thank you - glad you are enjoying them!

[@tomdynia9951]

Stand firm ye friends of the apostrophe! Some years ago I did venture down to this area. I seem to remember the guidebook mentioning the location of the old tram bridge that carried guests across Willoughby's Run to the Gettysburgh Springs Hotel. Enjoyed this video!

[@louisdemoss6215]

Cool ! Tim is the best, A true historian .... keeping the torch of history alive...I worry that 50 years from now nobody will care...but Batchelder probably thought the same thing...

[@bobbypugh2666]

That cracked me up. Well done!!

[@M80Ball]

When Tim smith is in the video i’m watching it.

[@martindriver6026]

Great video, Tim, as always. No, I will not forget the 's

[@Sheilamarie2]

You guys are knocking it out of the ballpark! Love the History/videos, Tim is one of the best, but I'm so impressed with all of you (Adams County, Addressing Gettysburg, ABT, the GNMP...)... Thank you!

[@AdamsCountyHistoricalSociety]

Thanks so much!

[@mwdjr3158]

What a great area to observe. Thanks Tim.

[@Tom26NC]

Willoughby's Run is my favorite spot on the battlefield. Certainly biased because I'm a 26th NC guy, but hey. Much love to Tim as always, and thanks for the great video.

[@blukeblue1235]

Hey Tim I really like your detailed accounts of the battle as well as locations of post war buildings etc. Keep up the good work!

[@johnnystir9796]

I am enjoying these videos!

[@harolynallison485]

This is a very good channel I subbed a long ago and wait for new videos all the time, Tim is great, this video backs that, he pays attention to detail, good job tim

[@allanburt5250]

Fantastic thanks for sharing 👍

[@Frank_nwobhm]

Fantastic! I just started reading Warren Hassler's "Crisis At The Crossroads" after having it on my bookshelf for 25 years. I've got the Bachelder birds eye view map downloaded on my pc to facilitate zooming into the battle action. These videos bring me back to the battlefield even though I live much further away now and can't visit like I used to.

[@AdamsCountyHistoricalSociety]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[@RobertPaskulovich-fz1th]

Tim is a Gettysburg history guru!

[@dennisprehn5702]

I love the knowledge Tim Smith imparts. My Sister in law was born in Gettysburg and has ancestors who were living in Gettysburg and Adams County before the time of the Battle. Her maiden name was Reading and her mother was a Shealer I don't know if I am spelling this correctly. There is a road named after her mother's family east of Gettysburg .

[@bryanfields5563]

what's with all the hoopla about the "Apostrophe Ass"? LOL

[@chriskerstetter5307]

How about "Willow 🐝🐝"?? Just kidding, Tim! I agree with you on keeping the correct spelling. Another gem of a video from y'all - thanks!

[@AdamsCountyHistoricalSociety]

Thank you!

[@markmildorf2873]

I was at Gettysburg for the 150th anniversary and a ranger mentioned that the park had just acquired the land on the western side of Willoughby's Run. It was such a recent acquisition that there was no signage and the old hotel and other buildings and infrastructure was still there. Even though it was the 150th and there were a lot of tourists, I had the place to myself. It was awesome.

[@LoyaltyOfDogsDotCom]

The Springs Hotel opened in 1869 and burned down around 1917, well prior to the establishment of Gettysburg Country Club. The National Park Service did not acquire the modern buildings that housed the clubhouse and restaurant.

[@artrogue4150]

Everyone knows Eisenhower never lost a ball.

[@glennkleiber5799]

Not when there's Secret Service to fetch the strays

[@joshua-gk4tz]

Good stuff I liked the ending lol

[@milepost465historyhobbies4]

Great video! Looking forward to seeing that golf ball in the new museum! :) On a more serious note, what detailed map book of the battlefield and area would you recommend?

[@AdamsCountyHistoricalSociety]

We would recommend "Maps of Gettysburg" by Bradley Gottfried.

[@rcrutler5798]

Was it a Titleist? Maybe it was James Archer's. I hear he had a terrible slice.

[@AdamsCountyHistoricalSociety]

Hah!

[@terryeustice5399]

Tim that’s a great Video. Thank you for sharing! How did you know that golf ball came from President seal ?

[@jeffelzey]

I love it! Willoughby's run apostrophe s ✔️ Eisenhower's golf ball lol 👍

[@davidhanson8826]

An apostrophe matters!

[@johndavies1090]

Thanks - that's a nice little talk. Sadly, Tim, you may be fighting a losing battle on behalf of the apostrophe 's' - over here in England it is as good as lost. I'm not sure which is the more unmentionable - apostrophes being omitted, or, as I see equally frequently, apostrophes inserted where they aren't needed. Er, can you prove that Ike hit that ball? TO ARMS ! TO ARMS in punctuation! - the apostrophe will rise again!

[@sz3qc9]

It was Eisenhower that hit that ball...I was his caddie that day!!!

[@Gitarzan66]

I strongly disagree Tim. That ball could have been duffed by any world leader that came to visit Ike at The country club. There is no proof of proof that Ike himself sliced that one.

[@katherinereid8378]

Cool! I have been there!

[@DD393]

James Archer was captured by Patrick Maloney, Co. G, 2nd Wisconsin. Pvt. Maloney was killed in battle later that day.

[@heynowls3058]

E Tim splish splashing. Good stuff. An Ike golf ball! WTG.

[@LockStock_Barrell]

5:24 is that a Titleist?

[@Danjan1208]

I was standing in this creek today….

[@essbe7158]

stand for the 's and Oxford comma. Pretty much every standard and norm is under attack these days.

[@heynowls3058]

I’m a total, Oxford, comma, guy!

[@phil9805]

I like Ike ! Cool stuff !

[@markdietrichcochran2274]

I will gladly join your crusade for correct apostrophes and the Oxford comma.

[@jameslackiejr5913]

If golf balls could talk....

[@michaeldouglas1243]

I agree with Tim 100%. It really irks me and gets my blood boiling when modern maps, GPS etc change names and small annotations to historic roads, markers, bodies if water etc. I seen it recently here in fulton county where I live west if you. Gets my blood boiling.

[@michaelamanek8908]

Nice job as always TIM. But is it H A U N T E D ??????

[@johnzajac9849]

The German word, 'Herr', means 'mister'.

[@LaurieGeePea]

Is it pronounced “hair” or “her”?

[@johnzajac9849]

@@LaurieGeePea Best advice: Go to 'Google translate'. Type in the word and select 'German'. A native speaker pronounces the word.
