JACK ANDERSON

“THE BEAVER POND C CONTROVERSY AT GETTYSBURG”

A couple of years ago a family of beavers dammed up Plum Run and created a pond at the foot of Little Round Top. The National Park Service is in a dilemma. Purists think it should be destroyed - “it wasn’t there at the time of the battle,” others say it’s natural evolution of the landscape and should remain. Dee and I stood on the edge of that pond last fall and pondered the question ourselves. What’s the right thing to do, and who decides?

This is inspired by Kevin Levin’s recent post on his Substack page: Civil War Memory.

Jack was the founder of (c. 1993) and for many years, President of the GMCWRT. Taught various courses in Civil War History, including stints at UVM and Norwich University. Member of the Association for the Preservation of Civil War Sites, which evolved to the Civil War Preservation Trust, and is now the American Battlefield Trust for over thirty years. Is very grateful for the friendships made and proud of the many accomplishments of the GMCWRT. Retired as Windsor County Assistant Judge, 2021.
