Salute from Alabama

I visited Gettysburg Monday after Remembrance Day not aware this event occurred. I learn so much from your videos though I have toured the battlefield with the best of the best…Ed Bearss Chambersburg Civil War Seminars. I suggest when you say things like “ to my right” you pan to that. It’s about the visual to me. Thank you for what you do!

love the union impression, truly look like an ACW soldier Union Corps 11th or V, Happy Gettysburg remembrance and Thanksgiving to you guys and your families!

I would like to thank you'll for all you do to teach and to keep this history alive. On My Daddy's side of the family was my Gr-Gr-Grandpa who was there in the Peach Orchard Fighting with the 7th New Jersey Infantry! He survived that hellacious battle!. But there East of the fighting on my Mothers side my Gr-Gr-Grandpa was with the 2nd Appomattox Raiders Calvary fighting Gen. Custer. He also survived. I'm just glad neither one meet up on the 3 days of battle!. Because of what you'll do and put these videos together is the reason I HAD to come to Gettysburg!!! Such a Hallowed Ground that brought tears once I walked where they had and others had fought and bleed and died there. This Meant the world to me to touch that place! Mere words of what I say here can't explain my APPRECIATION to you'll!!! Peace!

What u covered in all ur videos . Are parts of the story, that I didn't get in school. Maybe it was not enough time in the school year, thanks for educating us

Awesome video as always, Gary better watch out you guys did a great job. Sorry Garry.

My great great great uncle Captain Wesley Mellard Co H 13th Mississppi Infantry Barksdales brigade fought there

Great set of episodes. I have a quick question for you all at American battlefield trust, I just retired 1 year ago from Maryland division of corrections and would like to get something part time in something related to history and or battlefields. Been searching online and difficult to locate anything. If u have any site or info that would be pertinent be terrific. I'm leaning towards Antietam it is closer than Gettysburg for me or even Fort Frederick maybe. Any info is greatly appreciated

Get job everyone! 👍👍👍

Sickles was a G and he knew what was up. He made it impossible for the Army of the Potomic to run. He was gas lighting when he told Meade that he could move his troops back if that is what he wanted. He knew Meade would have to commit and not run.

Brave but mostly a incompetent buffoon that disobeyed orders! Meade knew what was up, but all he could do was send troops to save Sickles corps.

@@McNair39thNC It took Longstreet at least an hour to rearrange his battle line to adjust to Sickles's move. Sickles gave units of the Army of the Potomic more time to come up.

@@McNair39thNC Yes! And that's how it IS in war. Haven't you heard the best plans don't survive two minutes in real combat. You have to remember that Sickles got his but kicked and lost a lot of people when he obeyed orders at Chanclersville and I think his gut was telling him that there were Confederates were right in front of him in the woods. He stayed put and got pounced and the whole Army ran. I think his attitude was like "we'ere not running from THIS one, I will make sure of that even if I gotta sacrifice my Corps". He DID sacrifice a leg.

Hey just to address that comment made it 10:55- as far as the reorganization of March 1864 when the vast majority of the third corps is placed in the second ( excluding The third division third corps that was added after Gettysburg and served in the mine run campaign) was the other reason it was disbanded to make sure sickles didn't come back? I know French more or less had the permanent command of the third corps, and Meade had already blocked sickles from returning, but in terms of numbers how much would the third corps have a totaled in 1864? I know the first corps was definitely the most weakened by Gettysburg, just speculation

21:30 and 21:44 The Gettysburg Address had 292 words?

Ohh man...someone lose the 4K camera already? lol

Zook's brigade II corps, and other brigades of the V come in? against the attack of Longstreet, he sends the Mississippians under Barksdale!
