15th Alabama infantry regiment living history program - June 29, 2019
Approximately 500 soldiers of the 15th Alabama infantry regiment, part of Brig. Gen Evander M. Law's Brigade, marched 25 miles in 11 hours in order to reach Gettysburg on July 2, 1863.
On June 29, 2019, approximately 100 living historians from the Liberty Rifles living history group participated in a camp-life demonstration at the Slyder farm, then retraced the steps of the 15th Alabama by marching over Big Round Top en-route to their engagement against the men of the 20th Maine on the slopes of Little Round Top.
We would like to thank the Liberty Rifles volunteer living history group for helping us with this very special program and their continuing education efforts. Thank You!

Whomever played the fiddle is one hell of a musician and a costumer. He looks straight from the 1860s. Along with all of the other fellas they all look so real
Unbelievable! So glad they do this!
You do an honest disservice to anyone who has shed blood
Very cool indeed ,my grandfather Joseph w.Urner was the sculptor for the Alabama monument at Gettysburg battlefield and I visit Gettysburg quite often and have experienced some unexplainable happenings there at the monument and alot of other areas there as well ! OUR ALBAMBA BOYS ETC . NEVER LEFT !!!
From a damn Yankee (transplant from PA living in GA)......great respect and cheers for this video! No doubt that would have been an intimidating situation to face the 15th Alabama on that hill.
That was the most legit looking and sounding re enacting I have ever seen. Only thing missing from that rebel yell was gunfire
Very nice to see this thanks for posting
It was said , anyone who heard the rebel yell and wasn’t scared had never heard the rebel yell
My uncle Joe was a Civil war re-enactor he was lazy and always wanted to die early and fall asleep in the grass till he got bit by a Tick and Got Lyme disease

Ah yes ... one side fought to save a slave based economy and the other to preserve the union. Lets honor them equally. Such horse-shit.

First one is 'drunken hiccups', second one sounds like a version of 'lost indian'.
leave your phones at the door please.
That fiddler is playing Drunkin' Hiccups or Jack of Diamonds same song different title depending on where ya from. Still played today in Old Time Music. Tommy Jarrell was the best. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y2l3k8eHfsvKopM.html
