Licensed Battlefield Guide Bob Steenstra is back and, this time, he's joined by fellow LBG Jessie Wheedleton for her debut on Addressing Gettysburg. Together, they ask YOUR questions pertaining to the Battle of Gettysburg in this inaugural episode of Ask A Gettysburg Guide. From time-to-time we will solicit questions from out social media followers that we will ask guides to answer. 

 

We'd like to thank the following Facebook and Instagram followers for their questions:

Bill Etzkorn III, Lanson Morris, 230_grain, gpaint1977, J.D., Dannymusclehed, Anna_Storm, PvtTaylor Bishop and OfficialPearleShannon. If you submitted a question and it didn't make it, don't worry. We will work it into a future episode.
