Hearing Scott Hartwig declare that when the classrooms opened at the "Gettysburg Visitor Center, were for learning. Not for making money." It made me have more respect for the Man. That speaks real volumes of both his leadership & answerability/accountability. By golly Scott Hartwig has to go down in history as one of the all time greatest Supervisor of historians Gettysburg National Military Park has ever been blessed to have. Can't wait to start reading his prodigious book titled "To Antietam Creek."
All your work is wonderful. One pet peeve: I have been going to Gettysburg for nearly 60 years. It has always been Getties burg, not Get tiss burg. I never heard that pronunciation by anyone until relatively recently. Why the change, I wonder?
This is a debate as old as the whiskers on Abe Lincoln’s chin. Natives whose families have been here for generations tend to call it “Gettiss”. The rest of the world calls it “Getteez”
Except reading comments from idiots who don't appreciate the importance of historiography who have to tell the world about their shortcomings. That is definitely more boring.😮

I loved this episode! Any recommendations on what to read to learn more about John Bachelder and how the monuments came to be, were designed, etc?
I’ll ask around.
So grateful for Scott Hartwig's passion and expertise!!!
He’s one of the best
One of the best AG shows ever.
Thanks, Tim!

@@addressinggettysburg The Batchelder Papers are great. His Gettysburg stand alone history, not so much.
There are few things as boring as trying to listen to historians drone on about the history of other historians.
Like reading comments from people who have nothing good going on in their lives? Yeah, I know.
Go watch Housewives of Whatever then I guess to entertain yourself.
