One of the most brilliant presentations allowing the viewer to experience what occurred just after the battle at the Sunken Road.

In my opinion every citizen should experience the Sunken Rd. The feeling you get is totally amazing to know the fear of the men who fought there.

As a native Fredericksburger, one of my favorite things about living there was being among so much history.

I agree. I lived in Stafford for about a year and I loved the feel of the place. There is a section of Fredericksburg thats practically a museum.

You should visit the UK and we'd be happy to see you. We have history that includes the Celts, Romans, Norman's, Vikings, Medieval, English Civil War, castles, battlefields, and Anglo-Saxons, to name a few.

My great great great grandfather Corporal Richard Pierce Co B 27th North Carolina Infantry fought there December 13th 1862

So you are the descendant of a garbage human who fought to keep others enslaved? I sure would not admit to that.

This is fantastic! The way the 1860's photo carpet lays out as you walk is so impressive and effective in understanding the layout. Thanks so much!

Brilliantly done with the vintage photos superimposed over the top of today's site. Wow!

Reflect on this battle when thinking you're having a bad day. What a video! Really brought that battle home.

depends which side of the battle you were on if you were having a good day or not (or if you got hit or not)

One of my favorite battlefields to visit. I’m amazed at the length of the Confederate line (7 miles?). A good full day of battlefield touring is to see Fredricksburg and Chancellorsville/Wilderness. Stop and see Stonewall Jackson’s buried arm. My father was in tears standing at the graveside. Thanks to The Trust for all you do.

I had two great grandfathers both of whom defended against the war of northern aggression at the first battle of Fredericksburg. Both were injured during then battle. Many years ago during a college archeology class, our instructor said: “if your DNA was at Fredericksburg, you were there” BTW. I really like this side by side of the old and modern sunken road visuals. An excellent visualization

Just like chris said, i always thought that photo was from dec 1862. Wow. Top notch job chris

Thanks you, Kris. A wonderful analysis of the Russell photo and surrounding area and the use of VR. I grew up on Hanover Street nearby and still live nearby to walk this road. The Union cemetery above the Sunken Road is a wonderful retreat and remembrance from our time.

Excellent explanation of the battles of Fredericksburg, focusing on the Sunken Road.

Just an amazing photo. Through it, You are able to give us a sense of what the fighting must have been like for soldiers on both sides at the sunken road, of Marye's Heights! Thank you!

And I never knew there was a second battle at Fredericksburg. Outstanding presentation, thank you!

Great job - extremely informative video! The side-by-side with the old photo and present day helps put it all in perspective!

I agree. That side by side visualization was really good.

I watch a lot of KZread and this is one of the coolest videos I've seen on here for a while, well done, that was awesome.

More of these then and now please!!

So amazing the use of a real photograph over the actual site!

I love then and nows and this is the best use of it yet. Great job, looking forward to more

Absolutely amazing. THANKYOU for sharing this with those of us for whom these civil war era photographs are drenched with meaning.

What an amazing story! Thank you for sharing this video with us!

Thank you Kris . Great documentary on the sunken road! 💯👍👊

It’s always moving walking that area.

Read a book on letters from the civil war soldiers while sitting in that cemetery, real moving

So, so, good, the presentation of the "then & now" photos, the narration, both excellent & thank you for posting!🇺🇸

Thanks to this vid, I learned so much more about Fredericksburg, not just the battles, but the city, too & why it was so important

Well done, great job of bringing attention to the details and giving the viewer a better understanding of what occured there.

Magnificent history telling. Thank you.

Outstanding work, guys. Really appreciate the work that goes into these.

This is a stunning presentation of just what happened and where. Stellar!

Such a brilliant video! Thank you!

Wow, what a beautiful video. The way you laid a picture to what is there today. Well done

AWESOME VIDEO KRIS!!!

Love how you present this information.

Great special effects. Your videos keep getting better.

Lived in Fredericksburg, briefly, as a child, and attended Ferry Farm Elementary School in Falmouth. . That was my first introduction to the Battle of Sunken Road. I travel to the DC metro area, frequently, and never miss an opportunity to return to Fredericksburg. When I was a child, the little museum there had more artifacts than it does now but I still enjoy going back to that spot that is frozen in time.

I love the visualization! Thank you for that great work! I read all the books, starting with the venerable Time/Life series on the Civil War, but none of it gave me that visceral sense of what the battlefields were really like.

This presentation is amazing. I wish I could give you more than just a thumbs up.

Very good superimposition. I really enjoyed this video.

Great stuff. Keep up the good work. Big fan.

Thank you for this moving and thoughtful historical depiction. Semper Fi!

Bravo! Thank you!

Outstanding

Just seeing this. Absolutely AWESOME!!! I look forward to watching more

Sorry i ever gave you guys a hard time. THIS was one of the best videos ever! More please!

Really good presentation. Probably the best short video on Fredericksburg I’ve seen.

Great and informative video! I love living in Fredericksburg and seeing such historic and monumental areas almost on a daily basis! Every time I'm on this section of Sunken Road, I always think how horrible it was for both sides and the townsfolk who stayed here during each of those battles.

Keep up the great work!

Very informative, good job!

I’ve lived here in The Burg for 24+ years and have been to Sunken Road many times. This is the first time I’ve seen these photos! Very cool video! Well done!

I have read that rifles, and hats, were often staged in photographs. Anyone else remember reading that? I think it was done by Matthew Brady & Co at Gettysburg, but may have been employed by photographers of the day in other venues.

You are absolutely correct, even corpses were posed. I believe my source for that was William A. Frassanito.

Nicely done, thanks.

Fascinating. When I go to places like this, I think of Arlington and the signs that simply say "RESPECT."

This presentation has the most impressive filmography I’ve ever seen for helping the viewer see & understand the story. Way cool.

I grew up on Sunken Road. Right below the college. Awesome work on a fantastic battle. Thanks!

Excellent presentation, most informative video and technically well done.

Brilliant, keep the history coming!!👍

incredible the way the has been presented! well done :)

Incredible Video.

So interesting. Great Job

Yea, great presentation. Meant a lot to me personally. I'm from Ireland and I've walked that road. Amazing to see the photo and the modern road overlapped. Thanks.

Wow - very cool effect - thanks

this is incredible...i have seen this photo many times over the years but bringing it to life in 3D brings this in a perspective i wasn't expecting....no longer just a distant impersonal photo...it's now an immersive first person perspective and experience....it seems as if the battle had just ended.

I am Canadian and appreciate history. Regarding American Civil War history, in terms of research and presentation, it is unsurpassed in its quality.

Very interesting!

Great video

That is an amazing video. It brings it all into ones mind Im totally impressed. Im sub in up

Excellent job Kris!

Love the video

Excellent!! Lived there over 20 years of my military career…

Brilliant. Utterly fascinating.

Very good unfolding side by side of the original photo and the current sunken road. RIP to the poor soldiers.
