Exploring the Jacob House at Gettysburg

Exploring the Jacob House where HL Burlingame took refuge after being wounded

Pamela Burlingame actually visited the former home of Henry Jacobs, the 16 year old during the Battle of Gettysburg who was home when HL Burlingame was brought into his house and harbored until captured three days later. Young Jacobs recounted the experience years later in a published essay. The house today is an attorney's office at Washington and Middle Streets in Gettysburg.
