I saw him yes on a history channel and he was recounting the battle between the monitor and Merrimac. I was thrilled by his crochety old timer delivery and always wanted to find that bit again. Great to see him here !

Ed is one of thse who have made our nation great. I have known him since the 1970s, but this is the first time I have heard his account of his grievos wounding. God bless America.

Had the great honor to meet and speak with Mr. Bearss many years ago. A great historian and hero.

Ed is a national treasure. Still out guiding tours on our nation's battlefields...Just Amazing !

Ed is a real hero! It's actually kinda funnt, because the reporter asks him a question about emotions, "what was combat like?" and instead of him talking about the horror, his feelings of fear and despair, she gets a classic Ed Bearss answer with every detail according to military history. The local order of battle, where the flanks are anchored, the kind of weapons used, etc. I love that he's a bit eccentric! Just inimitable Ed Bearss, lol!

Wow, I could listen to this brave hero all day.

My hero. This guy is awesome!! Warrior and a scholar.

I youtubed Ed because of his colorful accounts in Ken Burns's Civil War - really really interesting guy

RIP Ed..Semper Fi

He's a Hero in my book.

Semper Fi. The finest narrator of Martial History that ever lived.

Thanks for sharing this!

Semper Fi MARINE !
