Nice, this brought me back to my own visits. However, there were a few things I saw that were incorrect or left out. One of them being Sickles called a 'West Pointer'. That was wrong, Sickles was a New York politician, he never attended West Point. Also, on your way to the Pennsylvania Monument, you passed what might be one of the most important areas of fighting not only during the Gettysburg battle, but of any battle in the Civil War. Right before the PA Monument, there is an infantryman with his rifle raised on top of the base. He is facing the Plum Run. That memorializes the famed First Minnesota Infantry Regiment. When Sickles broke the line and sent his men forward, there was a break in the line, which put the 'fish hook' or Federal line at great risk. As men retreated and the line opened further, the troops of Alabama were sent forward to take advantage of the opening. General Hancock saw this and quickly rode over for a better look, extremely worried after realizing the battle could be lost by Sickle's desire for glory. There were about 400 men standing by the battery, the only troops left. While everyone else ran away, these men stood in formation, not moving. Hancock rode to the officer and asked who these men were. Colonel Colville replied, "The First Minnesota, sir". Hancock, needing 5 minutes of time to bring up reserves to save the battle, pointed to the numerically superior Alabama troops led by Wilcox and commanded Colville to, "Take those flags!" The Minnesotan knew, as did every man of that famed unit whose exploits were legendary, that they were all going to die to save the battle. During the war, no state or regiment lost as many men in engagements as those from Minnesota. They were the last off the field at Manassas, giving General Jackson a hell of a fight after the Federals retreated across the stone bridge. The Minnesotan's were ordered to retreat three times before leaving the field. Their losses, and the reputation they earned, had no equal in that battle. In Antietam, when the Federal army was getting slaughtered in the Bloody Cornfield, it was the First Minnesota who pushed through the cornfield and pushed the Confederates into the West Woods. Again, their losses were huge, and their legend grew. Same thing at Nashville, they were the ones who finally got to the top of the hill and pushed off the Texans led by General Hood. Today, at that important location on the top of that hill, there is a Tennessee flag flying up there. Right next to it is the Minnesota flag, that is respect. Back to Day 2 at Gettysburg. As the troops raised their rifles and ran at the double quick to meet the Confederates head on and once again save the day, they understood they were running into 5 times as many men as they had. One survivor stated, "We all expected death or wounds to us all", others said it was clearly a suicide mission. But they ran harder and faster to meet the onslaught and hit it head on. Hand to hand, close range shooting, it was as nasty as it gets. When it was done, 82% of the Minnesotan's were casualties, the highest number of losses any unit has suffered in any engagement during any conflict in our history, from the Revolutionary War to today. They not only gave Hancock 5 minutes to bring up the reserves, they gave him 15. As they limped back to the line after doing their duty, men from other units all wrote of wiping away tears at the bravery, sacrifice and valor the First Minnesota showed. Their actions that day saved the Battle of Gettysburg and possibly the Civil War. Hancock said that there were no equal to these men in the annals of war. President Coolidge later called them saviors of the nation. On and it goes, to this day, this regiment is spoken about with reverence and pride. But their suffering wasn't over yet, they were moved towards the angle on Day 3, believing they were being given a break from the day before. They were hit head on by the Virginians and again, fought valiantly while losing survivors of the fighting on the day before. They captured the VA 28th's battle flag (and still have it in a St. Paul museum). One of their men earned a Medal of Honor that day. Apologies for rambling, but you didn't mention that hallowed, famous, and very important ground on your left. You slowly drove right by it! There were a couple of other things, but I think that is enough for today. Otherwise, I appreciated the video and seeing some of the locations, thanks.

Thanks for this amazing video. I was stationed in Bethesda Maryland and visited the battlefield. I mad the mistake of not getting a guide to learn everything about the battle. I left the military 3 years ago and now I live in TX. It is one of my biggest regrets not getting a guide that day. Someday I will be back there and do it.

Thank you for creating and sharing this. It was very informative. I know you filmed in the mornings and actively tried to avoid having park visitors in the video. But I am amazed the park was not crowded at all hours of the day during the 150th anniversary. The panoramic views from the observation tower and Little Round Top show a nearly empty battlefield. I have been there at 8am on a damp October weekday and seen more people wandering about.

With this video, there's really no need to hire a professional tour guide. I was at the battlefield yesterday, 7/8/17, and I had an opportunity to listen to one of the professional tour guides at the Virginia monument. His group spent no more than five minutes at the monument, which is one of the main monuments on the battlefield, besides being the jumping off point for Pickett's charge. What I heard him say was very elementary. Use this video instead, and you'll save money and be better informed.

This was a fantastic video! We were baffled by the amount of money it costs to get a tour bus to go around. So we decided to do the auto tour and just read all the monuments ourselves because we did not want to spend $30 on a CD. Then, I just decided to check KZread if someone uploaded it and I stumbled upon this video. I can't even tell you - my sister's boyfriend - who is obsessed with history and Gettysburgs - was so impressed by your wonderful touring! You were so entertaining and so informative. We loved it! And since you had a video, it helped know where to be when driving. Sometimes we found ourselves driving the exact same pace as you! Love love love! Your passion is amazing!!!

At 27:30:00 the house that Lee used for his Headquarters from July 1st - 5th appears on the left. Ironically the house was owned by abolitionist and Radical Republican Thaddeus Stevens who practiced law at Gettysburg and became a large speculator of local real estate. One of his properties was this stone house which he leased to the widow Mary Thompson. On the eve of battle Mary like a majority of the town's citizenry saw fit to get outta Dodge as it were and as such R.E. Lee kind of makes himself at home for his short stay in 1863.
