    Wayne gets so excited (like I would) that he looses his breath hahaha!

    My great great grandfather was in Berdan’s unit. Company F. He wrote a letter home on July 6, saying it was “a hard fite.” His letter says he “went into the fite on July 1. “

    Another great episode. Gained a new appreciation to this location. A place I’ve overlooked for too long. Keep up the great work. Can’t wait for the next video

    My wife and I have been to Gettysburg dozens of times but always love your videos and the 'off the beaten path' walks and information.

    On a hot day like today in Gettysburg, it cools me off to see this video shot back in winter.

    I was under the belief that Goodyear Rubber made the Rubber buttons and distributed them through the Novelty Company. Not the B F Goodrich Company.

    I believe you are correct, Goodyear not BF Goodrich. Easy to mix those up though I suppose.

    Another great video presentation. Don't know who "throws hands" more, Wayne, you or Garry Adelman. I'm guessing Garry copied & tried to best you in the gesticulation department. 😅

    Next time, just let the reenactor talk; don’t help him so much. As a living historian, it interrupts the flow when you’re giving a presentation and you have to stop and start over and over again. Otherwise great presentation. Thanks so much Wayne!😊

    You are yelling, talking over him, interrupting and cutting off the expert. Very hard to watch. You are not letting him finish his description. Dave was a nice guy, telling you “your doing most off the talking”
