I am a fan of John Hoptak & have been since I watched my first battle walk with him. Not only is he so knowledgeable he is a marvelous story teller. He imbues his lectures with passion life humanity. He draws his listeners in & keeps them engaged. He never disappoints me
Excellent presentation. I’ve read many American Civil War books and attended many lectures, never heard of this topic, but it’s obvious importance is evident. Thank you!
THANKS John for shredding the Light on accurate true history , not the pr news even in 1863 . keep up the great work. Tell the boss you (persons) should get a raise.
I really enjoy Ranger Hoptak's lectures. He is an excellent speaker and educator.
John Hoptak is a great speaker and storyteller. Excellent lecture!
i am happy to be able to hear this presentation . Well done!
What happened to the lecture "Placing the Platform" from last Sunday???
I bet Nick bittles was buried in a segregated cemetery, even though it's in Yankeedom.
