Nice, I could not have answered that question. Oldest Monument. Cool. Always like learning something new or being reminded of the stories behind these monuments. Golf clap.....
Tim, Your Monuments Monday videos are so interesting and informative I have had to "binge watch" them. I have only taken a deep interest in the Civil War for a few years so at the age of 67 I have a lot of catching up to do. Your videos are making me feel like I am cheating. Keep up the great work I really appreciate it. My wife and I have visited the battlefield twice, both times with two of our four grandchildren. All four have now been there. I am looking forward to future battlefield trips with all four of them to make sure they understand the sacrifices that have been made to preserve the USA and the pleasant lifestyle they have inherited. In the City of Niles, MI where I live we have an interesting monument to Colonel Henry A. Morrow who was a member of the 24th Michigan Infantry and was wounded on July 1st 1863 in Gettysburg. I am sure there are many other monuments around the country honoring soldiers who served in Civil War battles that deserve more attention.
This is great! I had a relative in the 27th CT and visited the monuments when I was at Gettysburg for the 150th. The feeling I had in the Wheatfield will always be a tearful moment for me. My relative did not fight Gettysburg, he was captured in Chancellorsville, which probably saved his life.
Tim , your knowledge is invaluable. And knowing all these facts. Are such a blessing to your viewers. The 27th Connecticut monuments are really just a Fascinating fact. Thanks for sharing 💯👍👊
Great video, Tim! I stumbled across the marker to Captain Chapman while walking around the Wheatfield some years ago. I took a picture of it because I was touched by the fact that a captain of the 27th had been honored in this manner. I'm really glad to hear more of the story behind the 27th Connecticut and the history of that marker. Thank you, Tim, and please continue with these Monument Mondays!
WOW! Tim thank you for your extensive research and studies. And your able to share them in a way that is easy to understand. I look forward every Monday to watch "Monument Monday" Thanks again, till next time.
Very interesting, great thorough research, you should expand and do historical things beyond Gettysburg. Would it be possible to update your book Devil's Den: A History and Guide 1997, I guess it's not in print anymore and they want a lot of money for that book now.

💯👍👊
Fascinating as always Tim... great to know that the Jed. chapman marker is the oldest marker on the battlefield outside the Cemetery
It's also the smallest, lol, just kidding. I guess many of those early markers were on the small side, and maybe that's helpful in determining age.
Excellent work, Tim. Thanks
Hope to see you at Remembrance Day this year Tim

Shout-out to Connecticut!
Hell yeah 👍 Gettysburg!
What happened to the obelisk that was on top of the Connecticut monument shown in the photograph?
Great vid guys
