On today’s episode of Monuments Monday, ACHS Historian Tim Smith has a different kind of monument story for you! Join Tim as he travels off the beaten path to visit a monument hidden in plain sight just 20 minutes from the heart of Gettysburg in the Michaux State Forest along the Lincoln Highway (Route 30).

In Part 2, Tim delves into the specifics of a nearly 100 year old bank robbery, including the tragic death of Francis L. Haley, a young member of the Pennsylvania State Police. Haley’s last words, “I’m shot, get that man,” became a rallying cry for the state police and eventually resulted in the apprehension of the criminal responsible for Haley’s death.
