Reverend 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 McGuire. Leo tracked down the records of an individual soldier who lost an engraved artifact here on the property during the Battle of Gettysburg.

Sometimes they even posed as men and fought side-by-side with the soldiers.  Her program includes information about women spies, soldiers, women smuggling contraband, nurses and women on the homefront.  She I also includes information about what the children experienced during the Civil War- both North and South.

Michael Vice is the retired curator of the Gettysburg National Park Military Museum. He offers two programs about the Life of an Ordinary Civil War Soldier.
