    We've been looking for the 54th NY for over a year. Thanks to this video, (we watched it twice) we found it today! Definitely a hard one to get to, and probably impossible in late spring and summer. Thanks!

    I love this series. This is the perfect time of year to go and find these monuments. Getting to the 54th New York Marker along Rock Creek is much easier to get to owing to lack of vegetation and ticks.

    Not July 1st, but I think the NPS should make Capt. Fullers marker more accessible.

    Thank you Tim! Love the Monuments Monday series. So many things around the battlefield to see. It's amazing that no matter how many times you think you have seen it all, there is a lot more! Looking forward to rarely visited monuments from the Second and Third Day! Would also love to hear in the future more about Hilary Jones's Artillery Battalion, stuck among the houses :-)

      You know, I was thinking very strongly about including that in this video. I'll make sure to add it in some future video.

      Thanks for including the 19th Indiana monument. I was surprised that it was included with the rarely visited monuments; as it was part of the well known Iron Brigade.
      Company E; of the 19th Indiana was raised from my home town: Muncie, Indiana. Approximately a mile from my family’s home; there is a country burial plot, that includes three graves of soldiers from the 19th Indiana. The three burial memorials were dated: July 01, 1863. I

    Thanks Tim. I’ve been to the 54th Mass monument near Rock Creek and to the Springs Hotel site with IIRC you and Garry on a group tour. Lots of fascinating places to see in Gettysburg.

    Very interesting to see some of the remote monuments that most people are not aware of. Look forward to seeing more of them. Great stuff, Tim! Take next Monday off and I hope you have a Merry Christmas!!

    Very interesting presentation Tim. I look forward to your Monument Mondays videos like I used to look forward to new episodes of Cheers and Seinfeld. Of course your videos are not comedies but they certainly are as entertaining as my favorite sitcoms were. Based on your videos I am accumulating a list of places to visit when we travel to Gettysburg next summer.

    Ramble on, Tim! Good stuff. 👍I highly recommend Andrew Dalton’s book “Beyond the Run” for a terrific read about the fighting at Willoughby!s Run, as well as the Springs Hotel story.

    The 27th Indiana monument south of Spangler's Spring has flank markers.

    • @timothysmith7742
      @timothysmith7742 8 місяців тому

      It has an advanced position marker.

    • @mjciavola
      @mjciavola 8 місяців тому

      @@timothysmith7742 You are correct, but here's the strange thing...the flank markers for the 27th are not adjacent to the monument. Instead, they are in the woods to the south of the meadow. It's the same for the 2nd Mass. That regiment's flank markers are also in the woods and not adjacent to the monument. Both sets of flank markers for these 2 regiments are in between the markers for the 3rd Wis. and 13th NJ.. Check it out! What's the history behind that? Another subject of a future video!!

    Tim, there were some German Jews in O'Neal's brigade, especially in the 12th Alabama. The commander of the 12th Alabama, Maj. Adolph Proskauer, was a German Jew, for example. I wonder if this Confederate soldier was initially taken prisoner and then escaped later in the day after the 45th NY was driven from the field.

    • @timothysmith7742
      @timothysmith7742 8 місяців тому

      Perhaps he was just a good friend and not a brother. And the story is just a bit off, but it was told by the men in the 45th.

    My all-time favorite monument at Gett-ISSS-burg (The New "Woke" pronunciation, because history's starting point is the date of their little, young, arrogant birth--yes and don't they just know #everything...but I digress) is the mounted Longstreet glancing back over his shoulder at the round tops, "searching for the end of the Union line", over at the campsite. Surprisingly--and I'd be curious if you agree--it's location is kind of off the beaten path (unless you're camping!). I was there in late May of this year, spent every minute of my 8-days on the battlefield, and it took me until just about my 6th day to come across it. On another note...isn't it also one of the battlefields' NEWER monuments as well?
    P.S.: Tim...you #sure do like WILLOUGHBY'S RUN.

      The James Longstreet monument is one of the newer monuments as it was dedicated on July 3, 1998. The pronunciation of Gettysburg is actually the original pronunciation and not something new. It is named after James Gettys. Getteees-burg is the corruption of the name by outsiders.
