A professor at Harrisburg Area Community College in Gettysburg, Dr. Fennell is one of the recognized experts on that portion of the Battle of Gettysburg. A long-time friend of the York Civil War Round Table, he will lead a battle walk / field study on September 19.

The York CWRT has scheduled a battlefield walk at Gettysburg National Military Park with Dr. Charles C. Fennell, Jr. for Saturday, September 19, 2009, at 1 p.m. The walk will be approximately 2 hours and it will cover the movements of Iverson's Brigade on Oak Ridge on July 1, 1863. The cost is $10.00 and is due the day of the walk.
Meet at the Eternal Light Peace Memorial at 12:45 p.m. Please dress for the weather as we will go rain or shine ( unless it is a deluge) and wear long pants or spray for ticks.
The York CWRT welcomes members of other round tables to join them for this battlefield walk.
Scott,
Charlie led our RT in a tour of Culp & Cemetery Hills in the Spring. Had a blast!
I'd like to see Dr. Fennell write a book on Col. Ireland & the 137th New York Infantry. As you know, their stand on that end of the fishhook is overshadowed by the 20th Maine boys on the other end. Props are long overdue.
Love your blog!
