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! 🥃🥃
Military doctors in the Civil War treated both Northern wounded and Southern wounded without regard to their uniforms. Accordingly, military doctors were as a rule not taken as prisoners by either side. They as a rule were non-combat soldiers. Most didn't carry a sword or if they did carry a sword it was not really a "weapon" as they did not sharpen the swords and the blades were not thick enough to use in combat.Their swords were ceremonial badges of rank. Have you ever seen any pictures of those swords? Most also didn't even carry a "sidearm" such as a pistol, and did not shoot at "enemy" soldiers. Accordingly, in recognition of the military doctors practice of treating anyone that needed medical attention, their practice of not shooting at other soldiers regardless of the uniform they wore, and their unarmed positions, both Yankee and Rebel military doctors were not taken as POWS by the other armies. After all, the wounded soldiers were firstly "Americans", and they might be "the enemy" today, those doctors saw the wounded as patients first.
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".
The thing is, both armies were exhausted and worn out. Neither side in any shape for more battle. I like your point about how Meade is blamed for his officers actions while Lee isn't held accountable for his officers.
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.😆
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.
The best to do it! His delivery while mixing in some Tim humor invites you into the story deeper.
Nice job Tim - thank you!
Fantastic as always!
Thanks Tim
Great job Tim, one of your best.

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
Hey Pards! just joined the live stream. --LT

I am sure I discuss that unit is one or two of my videos. I think I have one called Jubal Early's Raid.
@@timothysmith7742 I'll look for your video about Jubal Early's Raid. Thanks very much.
Good Evening my dear friends!

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.
@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.
“tavren”? How about “tavern”?

great talk tim. but lee was still the better general.....
