Ask A Gettysburg Guide #37- John Burns- with Tim Smith

John Burns, that cantankerous old curmudgeon, captures the imagination and tickles the funny bone of many a student of the Battle of Gettysburg. But what is myth and what is legend? Tim Smith, LBG and author of John Burns "Hero of Gettysburg" joins us for this Ask a Gettysburg Guide to set the record straight, aided by the questions of our marvelous Patrons.

How can one book Tim Smith as a battlefield Guide????? Does he have an email to contact? Or does it have to be done through the visitor center???? Or is it not even possible?? Love all your podcasts here, its a hidden gem and Matt has one of the best voices for any kind of broadcasting. Keep up the good work guys !

Screw that. Can I Venmo Tim 200 bucks for an hour call, just to chat about the subject?

[@jarrettfoust1610]

When he talks about “in charity to her character”….😂😂 Tim’s voice inflections are amazing.

I would suggest the "John Burns Crawl-athon" as a ACHS fundraiser. 😆

[@addressinggettysburg]

Lol that’s would be hilarious

[@dennisharrington6055]

Thanks. My fav is Gen. George Meade; all my subordinate favs are “characters”, such as Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, and especially John L. Burns. Hey. Gen. Meade was a bit of a character in his own right.

[@addressinggettysburg]

He certainly was

Damned old goggle eyed snapping turtle. Lol

[@snakerivers2345]

Give the movie role to Harrison Ford...

[@addressinggettysburg]

Good choice
