    When I was in graduate school in 1992 I wrote a fictional story about a soldier in the 153rd PA who was determined to redeem their reputation after Chancellorsville, and who fought behind Rock Creek on July 1. This is uncanny for me. Brilliant video. Thank you.

    Great spot! The 2nd Va Infantry Company D was sent across Rock Creek on the 2nd day. It became the extreme right of the Confederate lines for a while until they were recalled. Thanks for bringing up anything to do with Culp’s Hill !

    Rock Creek and Marsh Creek are the two main waterflows around Gettysburg, flowing north to south, with all the smaller creeks and 'runs' flowing into one of them. Rock Creek flows into Marsh Creek south of Gettysburg, then Marsh Creek flows into the Monacasy further south, which then flows into the Potomac and then into Chesapeake Bay.

    Also is there a schedule when you plan on live streaming online? Like the Aerosmith song “ I don’t want to miss a thing” , I really don’t want to miss the the live streams this weekend. I took off work, unpaid to watch.

    • @AmericanBattlefieldTrust

      No, we tried that. People find out where we are and disrupt our shooting. So we absolutely do not share this information. Happily, you won’t “miss a thing“ because all of it stays up there after we shoot. 😀

    Please turn up the sound on your end (like to 11). I had my chromebook on the highest setting and could not hear you at the site where of my ancestors fought and gave his life, Orderly Sergeant John Seiple Co. F 153d Pennsylvania. An Orderly Sergeant is like a modern day First Sergeant and wore a 'diamond' on his sergeants chevron. Thank you for visiting a less visited location.

    It makes me wish I still had the old board game which played at a rate of about two turns an hour if you were able to shut the world out for a week and fudged on the stacks of unit counters and casualty modifications, but that was what?,, The 70's?
    Great presentations, thanks so much.

    Barlow, a hard driving general, and very good, but xenophobic against German Americans, including those in his Division. His racist disdain for them is revealed in personal letters. His decision to occupy Barlow's Knoll was a blunder. He later would get praise for his breakthrough attack at Spotsylvania, Virginia, in May, 1864.
