- The farm of Daniel Klingel (1839-1893) and his family lay along Emmitsburg Road in a conspicuous part of the Gettysburg battlefield. In 1892, Klingel shared his reminiscences of what he saw as the fighting unfolded with J. Newton Durboran, a friend who served in the 1st Pennsylvania Reserve Infantry (30th Pennsylvania) and the U.S. Signal Corps. Here's Klingel's graphic account.

Great as always!! Very informative!
My go-to source for interesting Civil War stories that I can’t find anywhere else. Keep up the good work!
First hand account ! Love it!! Thanks for bringing it to us!
Amazing how the family roamed around the battlefield and was not hit by stray gunfire.
Very interesting first hand account. Thanx from Australia
What a great story, I would like to know if anyone replied to his newspaper article
Such are "the horrors of war" as they are visited on ordinary citizens in their towns and farms that find themselves in "the cockpit of war."
Of course, I am not a scholar of this war or any war, but the following is my firm opinion:
It was to avoid this very thing, certain to occur all throughout the South that the responsible military and civilian authorities of the Confederacy almost exclusively avoided guerilla war and surrendered when they did rather than prolong a hopeless cause (hopeless once slavery was dead).
Hadn't heard any of this before. Mmmm....almost sounds too good to be true.
A map showing the location of the house would have been nice.
The Klingle farm is at the corner of Sickles Ave and the Emmitsburg Rd in Gettysburg
@@TheCleric42 Found it. Thank you.
is that an antenna on top of the house near the big tree in the back?
I saw that myself and was curious if it it or not.
Yes. The picture was obviously taken, i'm guessing, in the early 1950's to mid 1960's.
Little round top was the worse place to go
Crazy scenarios!
Not pleasant.
