Ronald B. Crawford tells that tale of the
Irishman,
Lt. James and
the Union Artillery that
fought here on the South Cavalry Battlefield. Rev.
Crawford is a retired Unitarian Universalist minister who
helped found the first UU church in Gettysburg. During his
history presentation, he draws on his own military service
experience, his passion for history, and his experience with
public speaking. The story that he tells was researched by Leo

who lost an engraved artifact here on the property during the
Battle of Gettysburg.
