Amen, Mr. Clark😇👍💕 May their contributions and sacrifices always be remembered by future generations

You should let some goats loose in some of those woods where they used to graze cattle and pigs. They’d get it back into 1863 condition in no time! I am really enjoying these videos. Thank you for your hard work.

Hello from France Congratulations for your work ...NY 55 infantry regiment ( french volunteer ) Gardes Lafayette Colonel Baron Philippe Regis de Trobriand. RIP for all soldiers.

Thank you for preserving our history

My great great great grandfather fought and survived at culps hill with the 1st MD PH Brigade ….later on in the war he was captured by mosbys raiders and sent to Andersonville where he survived and was paroled and sent to millen ….very proud of that

Thank you for preserving our civil war history.

My great great grandfather, George Mabee died on Culp's Hill, Gettysburg during those horrific dark hours in the morning of July 3rd, 1863. He was a Union soldier defending the all-important communications center for the Union on Culp's Hill. Had Culp's Hill fallen to the Confederates, Gettysburg would have been lost to the south, as well as the entire war. Important battles that followed elsewhere would've never happened. People don't understand just how important it was for the Union to hold Culp's Hill. Nor do historians properly acknowledge the true heroes of Culp's Hill like George Mabee (and others) who gave their lives to keep this country together and give freedom to all. They are the UNSUNG HEROES of the Civil War. His widow (my great great grandmother) was not granted land like those male soldiers who survived the war. Widows didn't matter. She was left in poverty without her husband, and had to give up her children to various relatives to raise. This sadness and struggle to succeed in life has continued on into several generations of George Mabee's descendants. One fallen soldier's loss of his life, who did have a family back at home in Tioga County New York, DID MATTER greatly in this war and still affects his descendants to this day. Families never forget what they lost in this war. I wish people like Oprah would ACKNOWLEDGE these heroes one day. She WOULDN'T BE a billionaire if it wasn't for the sacrifices of our great great grandfather, his family and descendants, and all the other heroes from New York State who gave their lives on Culp's Hill that terrible bloody night in early July 1863...

Nicely done! Thank you for this great view of history. Dr. Carol Reardon must be an exceptional professor. You all rock! I hope those lost souls are honored by the attention.

she'd be the coolest aunt! tell me some great civil war stories

Thanks for the uploads and doing the Gettysburg marathon.. Great information in these..

Woah. You guys are insanely good. I'm from New Zealand in which our war was of 1845-1875, in particular where I live in Taranaki 1861, is of massive interest to me. If we could have people of your passion to do shows of such detail here it would be amazing as these battles were unbelievably interesting at a tactical and strategic level. I guess what I'm saying is your show is very inspiring, thanks for keeping the spirit alive. Peace :)

Dr. Reardon is a national treasure.

Dang. So much depth in this episode. Thanks!

That's due to how they present the subject material to the viewing public to captivate their interest, sir. It's always about the presentation and not necessarily the material itself👍💯

Love hearing these stories.

Somehow I've never seen this video! It was excellent as usual! Thank you all so much!!

Once more you hit it outta the ballpark! Thanks!

This is my family place and farm my grandmother was a Culp and there is a story that goes with this that no one knows about but me and I know why and how the C.S. Really lost this battle not even the Gettysburg historical society knows about it one day if and when I get a chance to return to Gettysburg I will tell the story and put everything in the right place and show everyone what really happened

@@kevinr3935 I will tell you but it will be hard because I do not know how to make a video and show people the areas were my great great grandmother and my two cousins that are both there sisters rolls that they all had part in the civil war and all my other cousins and town people had to deal with and I want to walk people thru the areas and what all took place on the battlefield only if I knew how to make a video and post it

thanks for the video,my ancestor was there in the 10th va infantry.

I am addicted to these effing videos and love every second of them. (I am in Michigan.)

Monuments serve a purpose to inform future Americans who the participants were. Where they were from .Where they fought. Where they died. In hearing the stories of these troops it's not about politics or partisanship so much as men being put in a position of battle and how they handled themselves. 🙏R.I.P. God bless both sides . God bless America . Amen.

Another great presentation. Thanks!!!

I been to Gettysburg 25 times and I still like to get out there one more time love that area around culp hill and the culp farm and love Pa. my dad family is Amish and so is family on my dad side when my grandmother marry a guy who is Amish and became my step granddad and my real grandfather is buried in Lendcastier Pa I still have family out there and Culp being part of the family and the story that was past down to as to why C.S really lose the battle and the and putting the whole war together Gettysburg and my family story with it it will blow the what been told to rewrite the whole Story again and what and why how the C.S really lost the battle

A big fan of this channel and I really appreciate the videos you put out ! I learn so much every video and thanks to such a clear person to person in the field style of teaching . A cutting edge way to present the stories and superb historians to share these battle tales with us . Brilliant and well done and blessings from California and thank you !

The knowledge in this video is very impressive.

Thankyou for making these videos!

“Moment of Zen” - hahaha! Loved it! 😄

Thank you for another awesome video of one of the most important wars for sure.

My great grandfather was wounded on culps hill on July 2nd and died in the Yth of July. He was fighting with the 42nd Virginia under Lee. His name is on the Virginia monument.

Fascinating insight in these videos. Excellent.

I have a series of 7th OVI letters that are unpublished, that I plan on transcribing and publishing in the future. They date from the formation of the unit in 1861 to 1862.

Thank u Ann iam sick of sjw too.We live in the greatest civilization in history of are world because of these great men who fought in these battles

Who else here remembers those stacks of tiny cardboard squares on the little hexagon map and how long it took to do just one game turn. At least a week for the whole battle sometimes for all 3 days. Terrible Swift Sword was a wonderful, challenging escape from homework and yardwork. There was so much pre-internet imagination packed in those games.

My great great great grand uncle William Thomas Roszell was in the Indiana 7th helping defend culps hill. My great great great grandfather Thomas Roszell was in the Indiana 37th. My great great great grandfather Thomas Roszell was in the Indiana 37th Indiana, he enlisted Oct 61 one month after the unit formed, reupped in 64, and discharged 65. 13 total cousins and grand uncles also served in the union during the conflict, under various regiments out of Indiana, including the 7th, 16th, 19th, 37th, 54th, 83rd under Sherman, 123rd, infantry. 2 out of the 13 were lost both killed in 63 in combat. One at the battle of champion hill, and the other at the siege of Vicksburg. I come from a long line of direct lineage through my fathers side of infantrymen, starting with Nehemiah Roszell who fought in the revolutionary war, his son Charles A Roszell fought in the war of 1812, his son as per the opening of this comment Thomas Roszell who was 38 at the time, fought in the civil war, my great grandfather Sherman H Roszell fought in WW1, my grandfather William C Roszell Sr, fought in Korea, my father William C Roszell Jr, joined but saw no combat, then finally down to myself an infantryman that fought in Iraq. Long line of farmers turned soldier. I pray peace for my sons age, being 6 years old I pray he never has to lift a weapon in conflict

How often would an infantryman have had to clean his rifle in a 7 hour fire fight? Were the Union infantry ammo supply points reliable?

They controlled the road straight to DC at Gettysburg. Supply Lines were basically Infinite, especially with Lee not moving further to the right. Baltimore Turnpike leads straight to DC not Baltimore.

I found several things metal detecting on Culp’s Hill in late July this year.

Garys like a fly at a picnic

The end was funny

3× great grandfather Henry F Heath 60th New York was there.

Little talked about known battle field area

When you are in combat and you have a musket in battle for 7 hrs. You do not have time to clean your weapon you keep loading and firing I was a civil war reactor and I never clean my musket or carbine until I am done for the weekend and got home to clean soldiers in that time period never clean there weapon until the fighting was done when you are releave of your post or they move fresh troops in to move your company out and back to the main camp where you can get your weapon clean and rearm and go back out again when your company is ask to move out every thing you need you carry with you and you use it when it was all use up you use what you can from the dead bodies or sometimes they use small pebbles or racks that fit in the barrel when out of mini balls

7th Ohio commandeered VA state funds from a Weston (W)VA bank. The funds were intended for construction of the state lunatic asylum in Weston, but was sent to Wheeling (W)VA, to help form the new state of WV.

Gary , thought of and idea if there was any way to have grave marker flags posted on the field both union and confederate. Put the colors out to represent the falling and have individuals adopt the flags for $10-$20 . Money going to the battlefield trust and the folks who sponsor a flag would get to keep the flag. Who would not want a flag that was flown on the actual battlefield grave maker flags would be great to mail off . Just and idea to help raise money For our nation rich history.

So many regiments fought on Culp's hill. The 12th Corp would go west to be, along with the 11th Corp to fight in the east and west.
