Gettysburg guides persist with Civil War tours in 1915 licensing era
In Gettysburg Pennsylvania veteran guides Ralph Butt and J Guy Wolf remain active at 93 and 77, earning modest fees for two hour tours despite licensing reforms in 1915. They describe adapting to modern visitors and emphasize health and memory over money while guiding through the battlefield and museum landmarks. The licensing followed complaints about guides’ knowledge of July 1863 battles that killed over 10 000 and wounded 40 000 with the National Park Service museum displaying artifacts from cannon balls to uniforms.
