  I have two ancestors who were union soldiers in from Utah. Lincoln ask Brigham Young to form a company to protect the telegraph lines from Indians. They spent most of their time in Wyoming.

  amazing video! one small thing is that the way the 14th Kentucky was positioned would not of been unconventional, but rather pretty common for a unit with the task of defending something. The Confederates at the Wheat Field near Gettysburg used such tactics as the Federal forces attacked across the field, using rocks, trees, and even a low stone wall as cover. The only odd thing about about the position of the 14th and 123rd is that the skirmishing job was usually done by individual companies of men from different regiments.

  Anyone have any info on what happened to the confederate dead from the battle around Barlow's knoll? I had a 2d ggf in the 38th GVIR who was killed on July 1. It seems reasonable to assume that he died in the assault on Barlow's knoll, although it could have been later as the confederates swept through the alms house area and on into the town. Gen Early himself was shot in his wooden leg in the town itself.

  this was a good explanation of Pidgeon Hill. I started going there in 1962, The whole area was rural. The night before the reenactment in 1964 we wanted to spend the night on the battlefield. There was no camping allowed so we went to the farmhouse just below the hill and asked if we could camp. The farmer said we could spend the night in the barn, which we did. He said when he was young he picked up minie balls on his property and when he had a bucket full he would sell the lead to a plumber. The intensity of the rifle fire must have been terrific. The little barn is still there. These are true stories. Your presentation was first rate.

  Great video! First off a comment and subscribe to support your channel! Secondly, I know most people don't care around this personal family stuff, but thought you might appreciate it since you did a video on the unit and Gettysburg and you are into history! I was born in Pennsylvania and have visited/walked the battlefield many times throughout my life (though we did move to SC when I was 5 years old as my old man got tired of driving tractor/trailer and moving furniture in the snow up in the NE, but we/I moved back eventually). I also attended Harrisburg Area community college at the Gettysburg campus after moving back as well and the campus is very near the battlefield so I'm quite familiar with the area. Some of the descendants of my DNA family ended up in or around Gettysburg/Adams county. I'm now out in Las Vegas (not by choice, but making the best of it), but I really miss PA and just seeing the video of you walking around brings back memories... looks pretty familiar etc. Always felt a connection to the place since I was a kid... doing a running tour with my parents chasing me hah. My Dad's side is all from PA and a lot of families from the old Berks county/Heidelberg/Tuplehocken areas as well as Bucks/Northampton/later Lehigh area. Too much info to list (they are from other areas as well), but concerning this actual unit (and units at Gettysburg) so far I've identified two veterans of the 151st that I share common ancestors with and get shared dna matching through. One is my 3rd Great Grand Uncle Pvt. Valentine Painter - a foundry man - wounded on July 3rd, Company G with the 151st at Gettysburg. The other is 1st Lt. Jacob Hessler/Hassler/Company K/151st. Both descendants of Stephan Hassler and Maria Katzemeier. They would have been cousins (still have to figure out the EXACT relation for these two per the generations). These families were from around Heidelberg/Berks county. I'll have to do a search to see if there are any more relations in this unit as I said we have a lot of family from that area, but those two I'm sure of due to the fact with have over 80 shared matches through descendants of the those families being on my Dad's mother's mother's side. On my Dad's mother's father's side from Bucks/Northampton and Lehigh (Macungie township) area - the Krock/Crocks from early Northampton - Johan John Krock (his father was a Conrad Kröck) who appears to have stayed in the area while his father and brothers were early settlers of Hempfield township in Westmoreland out west... son of John was Conrad Krock/Crock with Company F/153rd and his brother William H. Crock with Company D, 153rd. Pension records (and unit service records) indicate their companies and units etc - Conrad's brother William's testimony about his brother's death at Gettysburg: "Killed in action on Barlow's Knoll. His brother, William, who served in Company D of the 153rd, testified that he saw Conrad's body laying on the field as they retreated from the knoll. He said Conrad had been shot in the head just above the eye." That must have been hard for William to see his brother's body like that... like you replied in one of your comments - there is no "celebrating" what happened at these battlefields - but I like to know the stories. The best history is when you try to approach the story with no bias. As a human though that's hard! Actually speaking of Union/Confederate forces - I've found more than one old German family from early PA specifically on my father's father's side and a good number of descendants all ended up down south and fought in the War of 1812 - then were soldiers in the CSA so DNA/genetically speaking for some families it was pretty personal. Same for some Scots-Irish families on my Dad's side from Pennsylvania such as the Cummings/Cummins of early Cumberland county. I often wonder if these descendants remembered their ancestors were from PA (I think they in fact did because it was that long after the first of them settled in Tenn. during and after War of 1812 and later Missouri - though the Cummins I think ended up in North Carolina - I'd have to check notes) and had cousins on the Union side from the branches that remained in Pennsylvania. One large early German family that comes to mind are the Minnichs/Minnicks/Muench from early Berks and Gommersheim, Germany. Just really started the Gettysburg focused research via shared dna matching with ancestral families from different areas of PA. First time hearing of the 151st through my recent research - so thank you again for your video and footage of the battlefield - made my day! My mother's side has a lot (about 3/4th) Old Irish families and probably a number of "relatives" in the Irish Brigade that was at Gettysburg (like a 1st Sgt. O'Dwyer), but that's another dna project to work on! Cheers!

  I really appreciate the kind words and I’m happy to hear you came across my video. Glad it brought back some good memories for you. Gettysburg is a special place. I recently discovered I had an ancestor in the 80th New York who fought with the 151st PA near the angle I believe. The official report at least lists the 151st PA being near. I completely agree about learning history through the very people who fought and lived it. It makes it more personal and we can relate easier. Thanks for sharing your family’s story! It was interesting to read!

  Told from a Yankee perspective about yankee invaders who were unconstitutionally trespassing in a sovereign state as they committed numerous atrocities against their southern relatives who simply wanted to go their own way and be left alone . One of my GGG grandfathers was mortally wounded there as he tried to defend his family, farm , friends and neighbors just as his grandfathers had done ( for the exact same reasons ) only a few short decades before he was born.

  If you are of such an opinion, by all means secede yourself into your compound. You act as the last Japanese soldier who stayed in his compound for decades. Just a footnote towards the larger progress of the United States, our free speech and right to bear arms for legitimate non slave allies. If you have never released a sex trafficking ring system as I did in DHS, those traffic bosses also wanted just to be left alone. That's what it"s like to be a black slave during this battle. Try wearing a chain around your neck, and watch your wife and children sold to the highest bidder. Sit in their shoes and then sit down.

  No shock to me that at :04 just as the video began you showed a quick roll by of the description of the battle showing the Confederates shooting over their works but only a blurred image and did not dare read what was on it. Of course, you did tell the lie about the Union General calling the Confederates "traitors". They met the definition of traitors much less so that the soldiers who fought the British under George Washington. Furthermore, it is widely agreed that if he said anything at all it was what you first stated. Just keeping it real. Somebody has to.

  There's something about Kennesaw Mountain that, whether brought up, scares me. That could be said about any battle in history, but seeing the battlefield itself, the sight of the Dead Angle is foreboding. I think what makes it all the more gut-wrenching is that at the whole battle did not need to happen. Johnston would evacuate once Sherman made a move around his flank. Any books you would suggest relating to the battle?
