Tim Fulmer Gettysburg Guide
Добавлен 28 янв 2022
The intention of my channel is to present videos to those interested in the battlefield that may not have the opportunity of frequent visits. To share areas of the battlefield that the viewer may have never seen. Also, presenting “then and now” type videos as well as overlooked details of the monuments and the history of the sculptors. I appreciate your taking the time to view these videos and I am always looking for comments.
Thank you,
Tim Fulmer

Using his accounts of this event and hypothetical thi...

I thought this looked similar in detail to the Irish Brigade monument at the Sunken Road at Antietam. I checked; it is the same sculptor!
Indeed you are correct, Ron Tunison did both. He was one of the best.
@@timfulmergettysburg-guide I took multiple photos of the one at Antietam. Close up of features, interaction of the figures. Very intriguing. I didn't see the Gettysburg one but then again there are SO MANY monuments to see.
@@janem9408 There are 1300 monuments and markers at Gettysburg. Tuff to see them all. I enjoy the detail and the art work as well as the stories they may tell.. Tunison was a great person. I had the opportunity to meet him and correspond with Ron. A great artist and a great person.
