Something that would interest me is if we could see photos of the construction process of the monuments. The methods that they would have used back then would be considerably different than today's.
Another engaging video. These Monument Monday videos always inspire me to search my photo libraries for photos taken of the monuments being studied. I was there last summer with two of my grandchildren and have a nice photo taken from lower on the hill of them standing next to the 123rd NY Infantry monument. While I have no ancestors who served in the civil war I grew up in NY and now live in Michigan 6 miles from the Indiana line. I find myself particularly interested in the contributions made by NY, MI and IN soldiers. I really appreciate the work that you and your team does to produce these great videos.
Another great video, Tim. I have never heard the term "Spanglers Hill" before. I have always heard that referred to as lower Culps Hill, so I learned something new. Also, the observation about the rock that was cut down to get the monument in was new. Thanks as always for the in depth history you are passing along each Monday!
Thanks Tim! This is awesome. Learned something it's not at Culps hill it's at Spanglers hill. I must have missed this episode. I consider this monument as one of my favorites. Next time I visit, I want to see the shaved rock. Never had noticed it before. Thanks again.
Suggest Tim's does a program on the Maryland 1st/2nd CSA (division Maryland loyalty,, confusion re name of regiment, controversy on placement, activity at Culp's Hill, graves on slope behind monument, etc.) Thanks for this series.
Thanks for all that you do. I totally enjoy all of your content and hope to keep watching it for a long time to come. I would love for you to do a video on my third-great grandfather’s regiment. He was in the 74th Pennsylvania on the first day battlefield on Howard Avenue. Those awful Dutchman! I’ve always thought that their monument was very unique, I may be biased. I know that there surely has to be a good story behind it. Thanks
Poor McDougall died of his wounds sustained at New Hope Church, Georgia in June 1864. Rice Bull of the 123rd NY published one of the best diaries ever written by a Union soldier.
These videos are great. It would be great if you started them off with a map location so that those that don’t know every intricacy of the battlefield could mentally locate. (Finished the post and you did it, would like to see a modern map as well)
Would love to see a video of the Wheatfield Road at Plum Run. Many maps show the Wheatfield Road crossing Plum Run and connecting with Taneytown Road and other maps show it ending at Plum Run. Because so many of the Union Re-enforcements to the Wheatfield came from Taneytown Road, I think that there had to be a road that crossed Plum Run.

Great study this week. Thank you! And as the previous commenter mentioned...never heard of it being called "Spanglers Hill".
Another excellent program! Thank you Tim! Would love to see a program or two over at East Cavalry Field or down at South Cavalry Field.
Enjoy monument Mondays! Would like to see East Calvary Field and maybe a hospital episode.
Thanks Tim! Can’t wait until next Monday! How about Bushman Hill? Farnsworth’s charge.
Thank you Tim great informative talk

I think… not quite 100% sure… but “Spangler’s Hill” is Tim’s name for Lower Culp’s Hill. It’s his idea, or maybe his research led him to that result.

thanks tim !!!!!
Wonderful 👍 thank you 😊
Definite improvement with the new videographer. Good work.
Fascinating
The Oat's Boulder on Little Round Top. Thank you
Glad you covered this one! I have ancestors with the 145th New York. The were with the Co. K pickets down on Rock Creek
Would like to see camera zoom in when your talking about the inscriptions on the monuments

Awesome Tim! I so love these Monument Monday videos. So dang cool!
Great content!
I'm from Illinois but would love to see a Monuments Monday video on the 28th Pennsylvania on Culp's Hill.
Thanks!
Love it!

Thanks for another informative discussion. Asking for monuments Monday discussion, how about regimens that have multiple monuments.
Nice Video! JJ

Could you talk about the 147th New York Infantry monument near the railroad cut?!
Can you cover the 96th Pennsylvania at Gettysburg. My cousins were part of Company G.
How about the 140th Pa Vol.. Monument please
Would love to see a video of the Wheatfield Road at Plum Run. Many maps show the Wheatfield Road crossing Plum Run and connecting with Taneytown Road and other maps show it ending at Plum Run.

46th pa on culps hill. Would love to learn some more about the guys from my home area. Also same with the 53rd pa in the rose woods.
Please do 121st Pa on day 1
Great work! I recently heard the area is marked where pictures were taken for the painter of the Cyclorama to use. Is it hard to find?
3rd MD next installment?
What was the first southern monument put on the battlefield at Gettysburg?
The 1st Maryland in 1884.
Thanks
I didn't know this either.
Lost Avenue (Neill Avenue)
Monuments Monday…. Jersey brigade
