    Thanks for posting! This was the first time I ever went on a Ranger Matt tour in-person. I had a difficult time hearing every once in a while so having the ability to go back and watch is really awesome!

    Until watching your videos about Gettysburg, my knowledge about the battle was shaped by the accounts of Pickett's Charge. The info contained in your videos are magnificent and helpful to reorient my understanding of this historical event.

    Love Matt, but he is way to hard on Longstreet. Anyone else who blames him, read Cory Pfarr.

    Having a brigade available to fill a gap in the line is not luck. It's funny if you notice, Matt does this all the time. When the Confederates are doing well Matt attributes it to Passion and skill; but when the Union successfully counter charges?.... well in that case it's luck! Makes me laugh. He says the same thing about Greene's Traverse on July 2nd. On his Culp's hill tour he is describing how Greene's line has to fall back to the Traverse they made just for that reason. Matt says, "that's how you get lucky folks, the Brigade is saved by a Traverse". It's funny and I don't think he realizes he's doing it. He does it all the time though

    Mr Atkinson really earns his money, competing against all that traffic noise. Some of it sounds like a tank unit on the move.

    What kind of hat were you wearing at this battle walk? Never seen that broter l before and it looked useful.
