点评：Richard provided the most excellent tour of the Chickamauga battlefield to my wife and I. We are hardly civil war historians, but had spent several hours in preparation to try and maximize our learning during the tour by having covered basic features of the battle and combatants. He came loaded with pictures and maps which he wisely used throughout our tour. He started with the actions on September 18 at the bridges and fords of the creek to show how those shaped the battlefield and began the movement of the Union forces up the Lafayette Road into the positions that became prominent in the actions on September 19. He guided us to many of these critical locations providing details and positioning. He often would recount quotes or portions of letters from memory that were quite moving. He has a special presentation about a soldier from Ohio and his friend who could not join the town's company due to medical reasons that was very touching. We visited the location where Longstreet's forces gathered to begin their charge into the gap on September 20 and the place in the Union line where they broke through while going into the many aspects that caused that gap and the location of Gen Rosecrans command that observed the wave of soldiers breaking through towards their position. Finally we visited the key spots on Horseshoe Ridge and Snodgrass Hill where Thomas made his stand to allow the Union army to retreat to Chattanooga. He also provided very useful character analysis of the significant participants such as Rosecrans and Bragg as well as the other prominent generals delving into some of the controversies surrounding each of them. Finally, his knowledge of the armaments used in the conflict is encyclopedic. It was an amazing day. Thank you Richard for your knowledge, dedication and generosity.

翻译：理查德为我们夫妇提供了极其精彩的奇克莫加战场导览。我们算不上南北战争历史方面的专家，但为了在参观时能学到更多知识，还是花了好几个小时来预习，了解了这场战役的基本情况以及参战各方。他带了许多图片和地图，并在整个导览过程中恰当地加以运用。他从9月18日在溪流各处的桥梁与渡口所发生的行动讲起，以此说明这些行动如何影响了战局，并促成了联邦军沿着拉斐特路向各个阵地推进，而这些阵地在9月19日的战斗中发挥了关键作用。他带我们探访了许多这样的关键地点，并详细介绍了其位置与情况。他常常凭记忆讲述一些引语或书信片段，令人深受感动。他做了一个非常感人的演讲，讲的是一位俄亥俄州的士兵和他的朋友。这位朋友因健康原因无法加入本镇的义勇军。我们参观了9月20日朗斯特里特的部队集结、准备向缺口处发起冲锋的地点；也参观了联邦军防线上他们成功突破的位置。演讲中还详细讲述了造成这一防线缺口的种种原因，以及罗斯克兰斯将军指挥部队、目睹大批敌军向己方阵地涌来的地点。最后，我们参观了霍斯舒里奇和斯诺德格拉斯山上的关键地点——托马斯正是在那里坚守阵地，才使得联邦军队能够安全撤退至查塔努加。他还对罗斯克兰斯、布拉格以及其他著名将领进行了非常详实的人物分析，深入探讨了与他们相关的种种争议。此外，他对这场战役中所使用的武器装备也了如指掌。这是非常精彩的一天。感谢理查德，感谢你的学识、奉献精神与慷慨大方。
