Please join us on Friday, September 13, as Ranger Christopher Gwinn recounts the heroic defense of Little Round Top on the second day of the Battle of Gettysburg by such legendary figures as Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, Strong Vincent, Charles Hazelett and Patrick O’Rorke, and examines the role of memory and how interpretation of this critical aspect of the battle has evolved over the years.  This lecture electrified a capacity audience during Gettysburg’s 2023 Winter Lecture Series.  What better way to kick off our 66^th anniversary campaign year? 

Ranger Gwinn is a 2006 graduate of Gettysburg College and holds a Master’s Degree in Public History.  He has worked as an Interpretive Park Ranger at Antietam National Battlefield, Boston National Historical Park, and the National Mall and Memorial Parks, where he created some of the first public programming conducted at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial.  Currently the Chief of Interpretation and Education at Gettysburg National Military Park, he manages and oversees all aspects of the visitor experience, and has written numerous articles and journal entries on the Battle of Gettysburg and the Civil War era.  He last addressed our Round Table in February 2022 on “Gettysburg’s Rebel Commissioner:  The Life and Legacy of William Robbins” via Zoom during the pandemic, and is looking forward to addressing a live audience this time.  He will also give us an update on the improvements that have recently been made to Little Round Top, which is now open to the public again.
