The Death of Jennie Wade (Revised)

The revised video of the Life and Death of Jennie Wade as requested by the Board of Directors of Evergreen Cemetery.

20 year old Jennie Wade was busy making bread and biscuits for Union Soldiers on day 3 of the Battle of Gettysburg, when a stray Confederate bullet ripped through two doors, striking Jennie dead in her sister's home. A home that is said to be haunted to this day

Years ago we took our daughters to Gettysburg, and toured the Jenny Wade House. When we got to the basement, at the time there was also a wax mannequin of a Union soldier gesturing to Jenny's body. My older daughter began freaking out, saying the soldier moved. She was so spooked she RAN from the basement. Mind you, she was a teenager, and not given to drama. None of the rest of us noticed it, but we found out it happens a LOT! I do have to say, there is a distinct aura of sadness that permeates the home.

Fascinating as usual, sir 😊 I always learn so much from you!

A truly sad story, war, alas, in any context, in any country has its casualties.

Such a tragic but as always you tell it was compassion and respect love your channel thank you

[wendywills]

Great job as always very informative 😊

[ricknixdorf]

Gettysburg, what carnage! There must be more tragedies like that of poor Jennie. How sad! I wander why Jennie and her Dad have never connected on the other side. Curious. Thank you all for all your research and once again a great presentation!

I ordered The Big Book of Pennsylvania Ghosts Stories and immediately found Jenny’s story. Also bought several others on Jenny and Gettysburg that I am looking forward to reading.
When my USAF active duty husband and I were stationed at the Pentagon we took a weekend trip to the battlefield. It was an unforgettable experience.
Thank you again for bringing the story of Jenny to life for all of us.

You told that story with respect and sympathy! At least she and her fiancee were reunited! Thank you and God bless you and your family! Patricia Gambino Harrington

One of my Great Great Great Great Great Grandfather's fought on Cemetery Ridge. As part of the 104th New York Infantry his regiment was at the front in both Gettysburg and Antietam.

Amazing job on this video!
We hope to see you back again!
I know you did the history tour but think about taking one of our ghost tours at night

[takkmoran]

I don't know if ghosts or spirits of the dead exist or not. I'm very doubtful, but I realize the sum total of human knowledge is probably fairly miniscule when compared with what we don't know. Great story, but very sad.

[Frank-pkoi]

Hummmm why am I not getting notifications? That is really making me 😡! Have missed you! Patricia Gambino Harrington

I think Jennie might have been pregnant when she was killed, according to the paranormal program, Ghost Hunters.

I've only started this, what revision? Has something come to light?

[mickaderholt]

You said 51, 000 died. WRONG!!! Around 5058 died. Total casualties, including killed, wounded, and missing in action, were 51, 000.

What strong people, making bread while they know a battle is going on, like my mother would have said, "they still got to eat". One of the greatest generations of people, we couldn't hold up probably for one day what they had to experience.
