In Episode 3 of Battlefield Banter, I’m joined by Tim Smith, historian with the Gettysburg Beyond the Battle Museum and Gettysburg History, to explore the life and legend of John Burns. Filmed on location at the John Burns Monument, we discuss his prewar life, the stories surrounding his actions during the Battle of Gettysburg, the location of his home, and the history behind the monument honoring Gettysburg’s most famous civilian. And a little bonus info about the upcoming movie Gettysburg 1863 at the end!
