Please join us for a Chambersburg Civil War Seminars & Tours Lecture Series! Our next lecture will be: Too Much For Human Endurace: The George Spangler Farm Hospitals and the Battle of Gettysburg by Ron Kirkwood. Cost is $5 per person. Zoom Login details will be sent with your email registration confirmation. The talk will be recorded and sent to participants to view about a week after the live talk.

Ron Kirkwood argues in “Too Much for Human Endurance” that the George Spangler farm was the most important farm in the Battle of Gettysburg, revealing factors that have been overlooked for generations. The book and his presentation also offer newly found information about Confederate Brig. Gen. Lewis A. Armistead’s time at Spangler, the Spanglers, the Artillery Reserve and stories of the suffering and heroism of the surgeons, nurses, wounded and mortally wounded at the two hospitals on the Spanglers’ land.
