Ask A Gettysburg Guide #37- John Burns- with Tim Smith
About this episode
John Burns, that cantankerous old curmudgeon, captures the imagination and tickles the funny bone of many a student of the Battle of Gettysburg. But what is myth and what is legend? Tim Smith, LBG and author of John Burns "Hero of Gettysburg" joins us for this Ask a Gettysburg Guide to set the record straight, aided by the questions of our marvelous Patrons.
