Tim Smith's Sunday Storytime at Sweney's- Civilian Casualties at Gettysburg
Podcast: Addressing GettysburgPublished On: Mon Feb 27 2023
Description: Civilian Casualties at Gettysburg Most people who study the American Civil War are aware that there were some 51,000 casualties associated with the Battle of Gettysburg. But when asked the number of civilian casualties the answer is invariably "just one." And although Jennie Wade, was in fact, the only civilian killed during the actual battle, there are others who died as a direct result of the fighting. A number of other civilians were wounded, and still others were taken prisoner. Depending on how you count, there are as many as 30 civilian casualties. Join Tim Smith, for the last of this winter's Sunday lectures this year, as he discusses the story of the lesser-known civilians who were casualties of the battle. The Farnsworth House at Gettysburg is once again hosting a winter Sunday lectures series featuring local historian Timothy H. Smith. As always, the groups will meet at Sweney's Tavern, with the programs starting at 6 p.m. Food and drinks are available, before, during, and after the program with weekly specials. Parking is available in rear of the Farnworth House.
