Love that you guys/girls bring attention to often overlooked areas that are action packed with historical information, thanks for what you do!

Thank you for telling the story of the 154th NY at Gettysburg. I am from Jamestown, NY where the Regiment was mustered.

Interesting as always. This something I never knew. Thank you for sharing this. I love the stories about the residents.

I'm happy to see Evan associated with the trust. I have followed him on his You Tube channel and found his videos to be, both, informative and helpful.

When I went to college in the '60s, I had an apartment about 1 1/2 a blocks from this place on E Stevens Street, and never knew it existed. Maybe it didn't exist then? I moved back to town 50 years later. That's when I discovered this mural. I attended the parade this Remembrance Day. There were so many soldiers that if they turned North, they could have taken over Canada.

The Confederates would have lost half their strength from frostbitten feet.

I live about 5 miles from Portville, NY! Cool story, thanks.

Quite interesting. I never had knowledge of this part of the battle. I guess this was the first day.

Informative and interesting as always 👍 thanks again guys

Great tour and great reporting/teaching Kris, Doug, Evan & Sara... Hope Gary is alright.

Really appreciate you guys being out there and giving us these great videos!.

Outstanding video! My wife's great-great-uncle fought here with 134th NY, was captured and died in a hospital in Richmond.

I had no idea the origin of the sgt of the orphan picture orinated here. Thank you for the great work you historians are doing.

Kris was not aware of that skirmish at brickyard. Thanks for this information.

I love how they pronounce the name of the town correctly, good job!

Enormous respect for you guys! I don't know anything similar in Belgium. Even we have way more battlefields, important in europes history, per size.

EVAN !

A really great breakdown and explanation of the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg…which was confusing for those fighting and can be baffling to understand. Excellent work guys!

Thanks!

I went there with Ed Bearss on a tour with him. Try to visit that spot every few visits. Thanks for the great coverage and information.

Appreciate the video!

Great video!

Great video

I throughly enjoy the Maps. Thank you. -R.W.N II

Hello. Here, my uncle is great 👍

Were they still finding and barring bodies. This far into November after the battle?

From what I have read I don't believe that all of the Union soldier's bodies had been disinterred from the field and moved to the cemetery at the time of Lincoln's visit. the confederate dead stayed buried on the field until sometime in the 1870s.

I looked up “India Rubber”. It’s a true rubber as opposed to, say, saturating a cloth in linseed oil. “India” refers to the far east from which the raw rubber was imported. Apparently cloth was coated with the raw rubber and then somehow vulcanized or hardened. Synthetic rubber did not come along until much later. I’d guess that the Confederates did not have access to rubber and had to fall back on oil soaked cloth. If anybody has more knowledge about this please post.

Louisiana Tigers didn't have a lot of Cajuns, I think. More Creoles and immigrants from all over.

Why do they always say "going to"? It happened in the past.

Been there many, many times. Too bad that not more of that particular fight could have been saved.

OK have i been saying GETTYSBURG wrong? It's pronounced GETTISBURG?

Ha, I believe I’ve heard it said it’s a local pronunciation or an historically accurate pronunciation. The town, apparently, was named after a German named James Gettys. He pronounced his name Gettis. Gettisburg seems to be an affectation taken on by a number of younger historians. I’ve heard Shelby Foote and Gary Gallagher both pronounce it as Gettysburg though Dr. Gallagher does trend toward Gettisburg at times. If you’re young and cool you might have to alter your pronunciation to maintain that status. If you’re old and less than pretty, like myself, you can continue with Gettysburg.
