- On this episode of Monuments Monday, ACHS Historian Timothy H. Smith talks about the 26th PA Emergency Militia Regiment. This untrained group of men and boys, many local, came face to face with Jubal Early's troops outside of Gettysburg on June 26. The result? Listen to Tim's telling of the story of the 26th PA.

First, I have to commend whoever was responsible for the sound effects LOL. Thank you for that, it put an unexpected smile on my face. Second, Tim did a great talk at the New Oxford station about that accident, I really enjoyed it; so I really liked this tie-in. Last, whew, add this to the list of Tim-isms! "I'll tell you who's going to disagree with that: *I* am gonna disagree with that!" LOL
Mr Smith, I can listen to you all day. You make the events come alive with your verbiage. Thank you for sharing this information. Till next time.
Tim cracked me up in this one ;-)
Nice job Tim. Can always rely on a through and entertaining telling about a monument from you! Thank you!
Another well done video Tim!
The phosphorus fire that March night in 1979 was a towering, blazing white sheet of flame that so completely blocked the view of the corner where the monument stands that bystanders couldn't even see the monument, the lawn, or the Meade School behind it. It's remarkable that the monument wasn't destroyed. (At the time, I lived a block away on Springs Avenue and ran into the street when the first firefighters and the State Police arrived.)
Love your videos Tim 😎👍
BLESS THE COLLEGE GUARDS! They took the initiative and did the best that they could under the circumstances.
Fantastic as always!
Always very good information on #21 for the monument of the 26th Pennsylvania Volunteers. Thank you Tim always for your dedication to these monuments. And The Adams County Historical Society. ❤️👊👍💯
nice to see my old townhouse on the far left , still looks the same lol great info
If not for the vehicles, traffic signs, and lights, it looks like Tim just stepped out of a painting. Awesome video...as always.
Another great video, Tim! Your reading of some of the speeches given at the dedication prove that blow hard politicians are not just a feature of current times but have been with us since Washington's day and before. I have driven by this monument dozens of times and have never stopped to examine it. Another one added to the list.....
My great grandad was green solider from Penn College in Co A. JC Hill. He was captured by Jubals men. Did his best.
Another great video. I had two 4x cousins in the 26th that were captured by the Confederates. We assume they were part of the men that were told to go home to their mothers by the General.
That's Great. I should have told that story.
@@timothysmith7742 I'll be watching for part 2. LOL
Thanks Tim 😂
I didn’t see the name Pennypacker listed in the paper clipping nor on the plaque. Is he related to young General Galusha Pennypacker from the Philadelphia area?
Samuel Pennypacker was in Company F, from Montgomery County.
Poor cow. 😢
How many steaks from that cow?! 🐮
