CWI Fellow Erica Uszak ’22 recently interviewed former NPS Ranger Scott Hartwig for a preview of Hartwig’s upcoming tour at the 2020 CWI Summer Conference.
Why was there a battle at Gettysburg on July 1? How did it result in a tactical Confederate victory but operational Union success, and shape the battle of July 2 and 3? These questions and the major decisions and key actions of the battle on July 1 will be the subject of this tour. The tour will visit all the major points of the First Day’s fighting from Reynolds Woods to Barlow’s Knoll.
