    Thanks, Tim. I've known of Lt. Hunt for many years, but never knew that he went to his sister's home when he was wounded. It's amazing these nuggets still continue to be uncovered when families release these stories to the public. Thanks for sharing it.

    Amazing story about Charles Hunt and his ties to Gettysburg. Thanks for covering the attack on the final US line on Seminary Ridge on July 1st. It was a vicious fight that is not well covered. Its interesting that Hunt became a medical doctor after the war, possibly inspired by his treatment in Gettysburg.

    I live in upstate N, Y, but I lived in Brunswick, Maine for 1 yr.and became very familiar with many stories of the Maine Regiments thanks to some older residents, and 2 Bowdin professors. The first time I visited Gettysburg was for 2 weeks when I was 12.Became obsessed ,a word I would hear from my mother, librarians, and high school teachers. I tolld my high school librarian who was sharp enough to find amazing books from three differant counties, that I intended to read every book written about the Battle sic. of Gettysburg ., She said you know I have a friend who works at the Library of Congress ,let me give her a call, and we ll find out what you are up against.I got called into the library the next day. The curator said the Library of Congress currentlly holds 76 ,O0O BOOKS ON THE Battle. Staggered but undaunted Ihat was not a goal any longer.Tim is a god and a delight. I am 75 now and nothing has chaanged the same obsession persists.

    This was a very dramatic presentation. Tim handled it exceptionally well. He kind of appears like a hologram in the video shot on the back slope of Seminary Ridge.

    I was wondering if you could show us where John Burns' home once stood. If I'm correct it was on the south side of the Chambersburg Pike and not too far from the 5th Maine monument and where you are standing in the beginning of this video. When was is torn down? Is there anything standing there today?

    Is it safe to assume Hunt knew Chamberlain given his time at Bowdin College?

      In the family papers, there is a least one reference to him in a letter.
