First up is LBG Nancy Hale this coming Sunday September 6th for her tour on Nevin and McCandless’ Brigades.

“Never did troops advance[…]with more cheerfulness and spirit”

LBG Nancy Hale

Late in the day on July 2, Confederate troops had pushed through the Wheatfield and were headed toward Plum Run. Two fresh Union brigades, Col. William McCandless’ Pennsylvania Reserves from the Fifth Corps and Col. David Nevin’s brigade from the Sixth Corps, quickly advanced down the northern slope of Little Round Top, drove the Confederates back across the Wheatfield, and recovered Union cannon that Longstreet’s men had overrun. By dusk, these two Union brigades had repulsed the Confederate assault and helped bring the fighting to an end on this part of the field. We will explore the actions (some controversial) of these two brigades both on July 2 and July 3.

We have had such a great interest this year that Stuart Dempsey repeated his 11th Corps walk just for the guides and our continuing education!

Thank you for all of your support, and we look forward to continuing the series through the end of October.

Barbara Schutt would become the first woman Licensed Battlefield Guide in 1968 because she fought for the rules barring women from the test to change. She later helped her husband Fred become licensed, which made them the first husband and wife guide couple. Since 1968 a total of 54 women have served as guides. Deb Novotny celebrated her 50th anniversary this year. Rev. Roy Frampton is the only person still guiding from the class of ‘68.
