Great video Tim! I offered to buy you a shot at The Farnsworth house but you declined. It was April 6th and you were on your way to meet Martin Sheen so you get a pass. My girlfriend and I were visiting from Providence. NEXT TIME we’re doing one however! 🥃🥃
I believe its a documented FACT, as a result of the numerous mini balls and cannon fire, that the apples growing in the various Musselman Farms around the area became smashed & pulped and gave the family the idea to create applesauce which provided them riches for decades.😆
The 35th Battalion, under Captain Elijah V. White, was one of the first Confederate units to arrive in Gettysburg, chasing off Pennsylvania militia on June 26, 1863, during an expedition to the Susquehanna River. His battalion was nicknamed "White's Comanches".
Thank you. I do have a disagreement with part of Mr. Smith's analysis. Mr. Smith seems to say that a primary objective of MG Meade was properly retaining control of Gettysburg. But, Lincoln and Grant seemed to have disagreed with this strategy. Didn't Lincoln tell Grant that his objective was the Army of Northern Virginia? But, I do agree that Meade can't be faulted for not pursuing Lee more aggressively after Gettysburg.
At this point in the Civil War (July 1863) Maj Gen Grant is the commander of The Army Of the Tennessee and is receiving the surrender of Vicksburg (July 4 1863). Lincoln promoted grant to LtGen in March 1864 and put him in command of all armies and at which time he became Meade’s boss.
@Mr_Ming0364 - it was Lincoln articulating his vision of what was a key (arguably, the primary) enemy center of gravity and therefore the proper focus of Union army efforts.
I agree that the orchestration of all the moving parts of the retreat was one of Lee's finest movements. It's a shame more people don't think of it that way.
Nice job Tim - thank you!
The best to do it! His delivery while mixing in some Tim humor invites you into the story deeper.
Fantastic as always!
Thanks Tim
Great job Tim, one of your best.
Another interesting presentation, always enjoy them.
Thanks for sharing this.
Wonderful! Thanks! I've driven the original route over Jack's Mountain. I would love to see that big map of South Mountain.
Once again you've outdone your self
Great video Tim!

I am sure I discuss that unit is one or two of my videos. I think I have one called Jubal Early's Raid.

You are very wrong buddy

@Mr_Ming0364 - of course. And I believe Lincoln's instructions to grant upon his promotion to command of all us armies was as I indicated.
@@marchess286yes but that was 8 months later and had nothing to do with Gettysburg.
