Last night-I found this video-I also realized that my husband’s 3rd great grandfather fought in the PA volunteers, 102nd division, from his wife’s application for a pension-have had that FOREVER!!!! I then went on line to find more about the 102nd PA….. Have been to Gettysburg twice and wouldn’t mind going again. Am going to look for this book for my own family library…..
Wow thanks for this! I've stayed at the inn once and by the end of the weekend coming home I realized I forgot to buy this book! I'm reserved again years later for for the end of this month and can't wait ❤ Thank you, greatful! From Peach Bottom Pa
Why General Weed is still said to have died on little round top is beyond me. Considering he spoke to tillie in the basement the night of July 2nd while the man watching over him went and got a bite to eat. Tillie sat and talked with him to only find out he had passed during the night in the home of her neighbors house she had taken refuge in while running from battle on July 2nd during the day. Love this video
Just saying but this book is a prized treasure to me and the reason is because some of my family members are in the book and the family members that are in the book are my 3rd great grand aunt Henrietta shriver aka hetty but in the book she is referred to as Mrs Shriver, Hettys Husband George Washington Shriver aka Mister shriver, two of my 1st cousins 4x removed Mary Margaret aka mollie and Sarah Louisa aka Sadie and there’s also Hettys sister my 3rd great grand aunt Rebecca Weikert but in the book she is referred to Beckie there’s also my uncle George E Kitzmiller who at the time of the battle of Gettysburg is her friend however the most important of my family members that are in the book are Hettys parents My 4th great grandparents Jacob and Sarah Weikert and in the books they are referred to as mr and Mrs Weikert.
Well thank you for Taking the Time out to read this wonderful Book... I found it Very Enjoyable and Educational. My family and I will be Traveling to Gettysburg in 3 weeks. While it wont be our 1st to Gettysburg .. I can now Appreciate our Trip alot more now. Especially being a Civil war Buff..
I love hearing the accounts of the people that were there. The story of general weed, and meade. Such a small thing to give the commanding general a cup of water. But amazing none the less. Tending to general weed. Speaking with him and talking to him. Wow. Why they say he died on round top I don’t know. Very cool. Very very cool. Thank you.
Still a proud southerner. But American through and through. Maybe one day when I travel to a Gettysburg one day I should like to meet and speak with you sir. We could tell and listen to such great stories
@@PeachOrchardPublishing I was at the 160th Gettysburg as a reenactor with the 19Tx. TMVI. There were two. I was in the one out near Willoughbys’ run. I’ve been a reenactor for 5 years now. I love it. I love learning about it. I can’t seem to get enough of it. I assume you know the feeling? You must, with a channel that you have.
My wife and I appreciate your efforts here, Joe. I'm listening to your narration of Tillie's story as I type. We just watched your account of the 24th Michigan's stand at McPherson's Woods on July 1. I had a relative who served in the Iron Brigade's Second Wisconsin regiment, and we have visited his grave in the cemetery in Trempealeau, WI, several times in recent years. I've always wondered what role he might played at Gettysburg. We had another relative serve with the 36th Wisconsin and was wounded at Cold Harbor in one of those senseless charges against prepared fortifications. I own several books on the Iron Brigade and, whenever I re-read one of them, I am always amazed at the courage these boys and men demonstrated. The same applies to their Southern counterparts. Sadly, after Gettysburg the Iron Brigade was a shadow of its former self. By the way, we also like your dog.
The Second Wisconsin doesn't get enough credit for holding McPherson's ridge. The 6th WI and the 24th MI get a lot of the credit. One of my favorite Iron Brigade sites is at Second Manassas. They went toe to toe with the Stonewall Brigade at Brawner's Farm. Anyway, thanks for you kind words about the video and about Phinn. He's a good dude.
@@PeachOrchardPublishing Yes, accounts of the toe-to-toe engagement at Brawner's Farm can make your blood run cold. Do you have access to information on "Soldier's Heart" or PTSD? I've seen that alluded to with regard to Rufus Dawes and what he experienced with the Sixth Wisconsin and the railroad cut at Gettysburg. I'll check out your Shiloh video next. Again, thanks for producing all this info...
I will never forget the struggle they fought for, nor the reasons and purposes they fought for it. Blue and Grey. North and South. American against American. No foe braver had ever been fought, nor more glorious the battles won. No more faithful than those who fought for what they believed. Now no more than a whisper of the wind or a brush of the breeze. Their dreams, aspirations, and duties no longer a part of who we are. We only dream of what they thought.We imagine the reality they felt and realized. How astounding and amazing their recollections and memories were. Now no more a thought. Now we crave only for attention and greed. We have lost what these men and women yes women fought for. We have devolved into animals only fighting to preserve ourselves. Not our nation or heritage. They mean nothing now.
I hope they get more attention. I really thing Mag Palm, Tillie, and the Sister's of Charity can get some of the spotlight. I appreciate you watching the video. It was really fun to make.
I cannot believe that I’m the first comment. This video will surely get a bunch of views once people discover it. I’m about 24 minutes in. The first Confederates that came in on June 26th was Jubal Early’s Division of Richard Ewell’s Corps (the book didn’t mention who it was). Coming up the same road into town mid morning is John Reynolds’ First Corps. --- Finished listening. Great book. I’m sure I’ll listen to it again a few times in the future because it’s not very long. TY for recording this.
Wow. Thank you so much! Like, wow. It was really a labor of love putting this together. Reading it, filming it, really helped me understand the battle in a way I had never thought about.
That's a great point. I'm going to have to research that. She stopped her diary (at least what she published) after the battle. The Gettysburg Address was November 19th of the same year.
We moved to Chambersburg, and Gettysburg..Talk about haunted houses, fields, wood areas.. Go walk around at night..You be amazed..lost souls..Even a old lady that hid in the attic..she came down at night..All the way down to kitchen. only at night..Lost souls in many ways..USN. USS Enterprise/ Old ways
I loved every minute of this.
She was quite a writer. I know speech was a bit more formal then but still. She was quite eloquent at times.

Don’t know who you are but thank you for this. Gotta see if you have other readings out there. Again thank you appreciate it.

It gave me a great blueprint to wander around Gettysburg
@@PeachOrchardPublishing .. And i hope to wander through Gettysburg as well when i Visit in a Couple weeks. Thank you
Just saying but if you look up Jacob weikert farm Gettysburg there’s some good pictures of the farm.

And thanks for reading those how many people are out there reading stories
Fascinating account but I wonder why she didn't mention Lincoln's visit?
That's a great point. I'm going to have to research that. She stopped her diary (at least what she published) after the battle. The Gettysburg Address was November 19th of the same year.
Straight up Poetry Man. Straight up POETRY.
