    I made my first trip to Gettysburg from 6/30-7/7 and would've loved to have participated in this battle walk. Maybe next year. As a retired teacher I appreciate your knowledge and your delivery of that knowledge. Well done!

    I was glad to hear accounts of the 47th North Carolina as I had two great great grandfathers in that regiment. Neither left an account that I know of. One of them was later wounded at Bristoe Station and was on detached duty after he recovered for the rest of the war. Thanks again StuffWriter and Matt for the great content.

    Thank you for another great video. I do wish you'd get a dead cat (windscreen) for the mic, (which I hope is a shotgun, or mini shotgun), as the wind noise makes it very hard to use ear buds. One day, I hope to win the lottery, and join Ranger Matt in person. Until then, I enjoy him through you.

    Matt did several first days battle on Scales and Penders, and several other attacks that I have been searching for. The programs used to be on KZread and got me hooked on his tours probably 10+ years ago. They are no longer online, sadly. I remember him mentioning the Sid Myers Gettysburg computer game and Matt saying in our Southern accent, "William Dorsey Pender is alllllways ready for a fight " ! Lol Anyone know of the video I mentioned. I think it was for a Pennsylvania electric company. Great work as always Stuffy.

    Not sure what was causing it, but there was a pretty heavy bass rumble through the whole video, even without traffic. But thanks very much for capturing this account. It's not a unit or a spot on the field I've seen before.

    The 80th were the 20th NY state milita before the war and were known by either name. Much like the 14th Brooklyn Zouaves were the 84th NY in US Army identification.

    I don't know much about the battle of Waterloo, but I do know how the Brits defeated Napoleon there. The Duke of Wellington had the troops lined up in squares. Napoleon's men couldn't break through. So when you mentioned that today, that was the first thing I thought about. You made an interesting point.

    What Matt says about Reynolds is another piece of what I think caused Lee to fight there right to the end. If Lee sees Reynolds previous actions as just another piece of the bumbling of Yankee leadership, whether he was a fighter or not, it would embolden Lee to fight at Gettysburg and try to get another Chancellorsville, or Fredericksburg, where the Union forces get whipped despite having superior numbers. More than anything, it was Lees decision to keep up the fight that created the scenario that was Gettysburg.

    The 3rd Arkansas never gets any attention. Only unit from that state in the ANV. Terrain shouldn't stop people. We who are into this could care less about going into woods etc.
