Ask A Gettysburg Guide #46- The Pa Reserves: Saviors of Little Round Top? with LBG Charlie Fennell

Күн бұрын

Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain and the 20th Maine, single-handedly saved Little Round Top from capture by Hood's Confederates. Everybody knows this, for, the movie tells us so. Right? Not right. They were one part of the fight for the rocky hill. Very little is told about Eric the Producer's favorite division in the Army of the Potomac, The Pennsylvania Reserves, and how they saved the other flank on Little Round Top as the fighting on the southern end of the field waned.
Charlie Fennell joins us as we shine the spotlight on Eric who does a great job telling us about the PA Reserves.

My great great grandfather fought with the 98th PA (6th Corps). They went along with Crawford to clear the Wheatfield. This was very interesting to learn more about what he experienced on July 2. Thank you!

Great episode! Loved the banter between Matt and Charlie about Lonesome Dove! 2 actors from that mini series were in the movie Gettysburg. Great information about the PA Reserves. Eric and Charlie were very informative!

The Dove is the best western ever made. That’s science right there.

I don't even know, but did you guys do an episode about the 143rd, 149th and 150th on the Chambersburg Pike? Rueben Stover, my 5th great grandfather was there with the 149th Infantry Regiment and he died fighting there

We did. Would have been in 2020. Rich Korr was the guide.

Great episode. What ? No mention of Company K of the 1st ? My Great Uncle, Pvt. Jacob Arendt from Adams County was in K and was slightly wounded in his shoulder during the counter charge.

We have a specific episode in the works for Patreon about company K. Ask A Guides are typically more general overviews.

The "Eric" show, with special guest, Charlie Fennel. Good job everyone! I've never been able to find Teagues book anywhere... I attended the Crawford monument unveiling. Pretty cool.

I believe they’re have the Teague book at For the Historian. I’ve seen it around

Great Uncle of mine was with the 1st PA Reserves, Company A. Sadly he was killed during the last movement on the 3rd day. While the Reserves cleared the last remaining Confederates in and around the Wheatfield he was shot through the heart. I still visit his grave in the cemetery whenever I can make the trip out there.
