Another top-rate performance by Tim. I try to visit the Capt. Fuller marker every time I come to Gettysburg. This video brought his story to life again and will make me reflect a little deeper next time I visit this spring or summer. How can anyone not be drawn into stories like these? Fascinating stuff.
I always enjoy going to the lesser visited monuments.
My goodness gracious! I have no idea how it is possible that every one of these videos you put out for your "Monument Monday" series gets better and better! This was truly exceptional. Thank you Tim and ACHS!
Thank you Tim a beautiful monument to the 64th New York. And tribute to Captain Fuller. A great video and great Monday!
💯👍👊
I recently became aware of Capt. Fuller's marker through another UA-cam channel, but that video did not do such an excellent job in telling the entire story as Tim has done here, thank you.
To Tim and his camera assist. Much Thanks for these Battlefield Monument tours! To Tim for the in-depth background research you do Sir for us to feel and can almost see what your reading to us all! I appreciate it so much Sir!!!
Love your Monday videos makes going back to work a little easier
Very good Tim. Love Monday afternoon after work to see Monuments Monday.
Outstanding Tim!
Thanks For another good program Tim. Years ago I found the monument in the woods when cutting through woods . Now I know the rest of the story.
Excellent video. I’ll be visiting Gettysburg next week and was already planning to visit Captain Fuller’s marker. But now I know much more about it like the trolley tracks and the amusement park that were in this location.
When I first saw this series my thought was who cares. But I find that they are so well done that I’ve not only started to catch up with the ones I’ve missed, I’ve started to do my own monument tours via Google Earth. But even with the Civil War resources available on-line, without the research, knowledge, exuberance, and love of place of Tim, the monuments remain just artifacts waiting for Tim to bring the stories behind them to life. There is nobody better at it. Gerry Adelman deserves a close honorable mention.
Tim, these are just great. Thank you. I have walked the old trolly path a couple of times but have never noticed any markers along it. It was during the summertime, so I'm sure markers like that for Captain Fuller would have been hard to see. I will add this to the list of markers that I will be trying to find when visiting the battlefield this summer. I love the weekly history lesson! (and now a little stand up comedy being thrown it to boot!)
I can't tell you how much I enjoy Monument Monday , this one was one of the best. Two questions ,,,1. if we were to erect a Monument to Tim and Gary where would you like it to be ? ,, and 2. since the Monuments are so heavy is the any documented cases of someone getting killed while erecting one ??
This video you excelled yourself Tim. Really interesting. Thank you. (no coat either with snow on the ground!)
We visit and pay our respects to Captain Fuller every trip. Thank you for the very moving information about him and and what happened to him!
I've always believed that it would be helpful if the NPS would put some kind of sign directing you off the trolley path where the Fuller marker trail begins. If you do find the trail, be warned that it is often very marshy and wet.
My husband and I were trying to look for the monument last summer. We were so close, but as Tim said, Good Luck with finding some Monuments in the summer. Thank you Tim for showing us where it is! Now we know!
Outstanding work on this one
Little Valley, NY, is about 55 miles directly south of Buffalo, NY.
Seat of Cattaraugus County
8:05 I’m curious about the music inserted here. 😊 Thanks for these videos by the way.
The Wheatfield (and monuments) acion does not get enough visitation. Mostly, due to the crazy back & forth nature of the fighting.
I had a relative in the 6th Corps - 139th PA who participated in the end of the day stabilization of the Wheatfield area.
They have markers on the right of Whestfield Road & a July 3 advance marker near Trosle farm.
I really enjoy all the information these present. Thanks
Thank you Tim - I will need to hunt down Capt. Fuller's marker. Always an education.
Very interesting episode. Thanks for showing us how to get to the marker. Looks like a great time of year to visit Gettysburg!
Outstanding video Tim. You and your team are awesome! Can't wait for next Monday.
Great video, so many stories. Thank Tim for such a good presentation and others for creating it
We watch the Monument Monday videos every week…we would never take all your hard work for “granite”!!!
Great video. I love finding the "hidden" or lesser-known markers. The Babcock Rock is easy to find. But finding the X on it proved to be challenging. You need the right light and where to look. It has faded since I first found it a few years back.
I would share this with my friends but I don't have any.
I grew up in Cattaraugus, where the 64th was recruited
Cattaraugus County, that is
This is many years ago, but I walked through the woods from the Wheatfield toward the location of those famous Gardner Confederate dead photos on the Rose Farm. As I recall, on the way back I came across this monument. Yet another surprising and touching moment, like so many others I experienced on the Gettysburg Battlefield, to stop and reflect about the men who fought and died there.
Besides this accidental discovery of the Fuller marker, I came across a similar marker in the woods, downslope, and just in front of Greene's line on Culps Hill. My memory tells me it was a regimental colonel, but I do not remember the dedication on the marker. Does anyone know this marker and the story behind it?
Awesome 😎
When are we gonna get “Tablets Tuesday”?
It's a LITTLE difficult to find, but not if you look for the pathway that leads off the trolley path to the monument (it's not obvious, but it's not hard to spot)
Staunton VA….pronounced “Staan-tn”. Great video!
Can't help it if people can't pronounce the name of their own town. Remember, I am from Balmor
Henry Fuller Monument: Rarely Visited, near Gettysburg
"Professor" Smith throwin' it down again. I love when he goes to the places he's passionate about. BTW, you can go back to the PA Monument soooo many times and we'll still sponge more from your brain.
Also kudos to the rimshot person.
Rose’s run?
Love it.
one more thing to look for [ the rock
]. found the marker last year.
Looks cold Tim. Not hat or jacket?
YES!!! FOUND IT!!!! APRIL 28th, 2024.
Great job!
Please do something on the Delaware monuments. No one ever does. Ever.
