Nice work thanks

I always look forward to this "tradition"! I really enjoyed this episode and all the Halloween specials. Crazy synchronicity too, I was literally just in Rose Woods and the Wheatfield, the deep cut at Manassass and the Stone House and the NY Monument by Groveton! I just missed you guys at Devil's Den actually. I also went out to Iverson's Pits one night while I was there, but, I didn't get any action. There is a pervasive creepiness there though for sure.

Why have you got the flag blurred out????

good job happy allhallows eve eve

Nice wrap up on the battle with Part 2.

Great episode!!!!

Have y'all been to the battlefields?

Cold harbor took place twice on my Mom's property

Good video.

My 3rd great grandfather was with 17th Texas. Love the show.

Great episode, thanks! Me and the Beagle walk these battlefields often.

Wow guys. Best episode yet!

Great episode as ever!! We must never forget the personal impact of war on all levels. I found the following lecture on here about the Meigs death. ruclips.net/user/livelqQgQwW8Dbw?si=hWduxV9rbZL2u6LC Do you think the burning of Darien was part of this growing move to Total War?

Ahh. But perhaps we should have more directly put forward the Union’s ( especially the Union’s solders’) perspective? Hundreds of thousands of Union soldiers had been killed and wounded with a substantial expenditure of treasure by this time. If this shortened the slaughter, perhaps you can see the willingness of Union soldiers to participate? In conjunction with this, my understanding is larger planters (with those in life bondage) continued to focus on cash crops - tobacco and cotton - and not food. Imagine if rich/very rich planters had deigned to just produce food and turned it over in ‘taxes’? <~~ I have a citation or two for this proposition. So tell me: their barn or your cousin’s life?

I would argue that it wasn't just because of megs he had been harassed and harangue by the very civilians that would be good during the day and then they're shooting at him at night, after a few weeks or months however long it's been that's going to wear on you and you just don't care after a while

There was another make sure designed the US Capitol is it the same family

Good evening, jumped on to check email, 'tis an unexpected surprise ...

How am I supposed to choose between Gettysburg and Antietam for this weekend? 🙈

If you have a minute, kindly look at my reply to your reply under ‘no notice again.’

I’m guessing you know know this, but I’ll mention that David A. Powell is a commercial civil war game designer of note as well as the author of “Failure in the Saddle”, the series on Atlanta, etc.

No notice again ….

History is nuanced, people are complicated. It was a civil war or southern revolution, and people fought their corner, for the good, the bad, and the ugly. Yep. Read it all.

Battlefield looks way it did August 1864.

Why yall didn't mentioned battle of utoy creek in talks about atlanta campaign.

Great episode as usual. You two are so good at this

Covids still around and I'm glad you guys are too. Thanks for all the presentations in the past crazy 4 years

Liberation of Atlanta?

Love Civil War history binge watching glad I found your channel.

Morning 😊

"full banana" - is that a military term for a strong attack? 🤪

How ‘bout an episode on Grierson’s very successful raid (April 17 - May 2 1863)? Morgan’s raid was June 11 - July 26, 1863. Sherman’s Meridian Campaign was Feb 3 - March 6, 1864. Sherman learned from Grierson (a music teacher before the war).

Hey! Welcome to episode 134! Amtrak is fancy, just ask Union Station in KC. Thank you all (y'all) for the episode. Edit: Sorry, not all together because of college assignments. Edit 2: When I take my Civil War course for my History degree with a focus in military history, I will make sure to mention you so that my class will listen to you guys. P.S. Can you look at the Battle of Lexington 1861 (the Battle of Hemp Bales), the Battle of Westport 1864 (Gettysburg of the West), or the Battle of Mine Creek 1864? There is also the skirmish or Battle of Island Mound where the 1st KS Colored Infantry Regiment/Volunteer Infantry Regiment had its first fight in 1862. P.P.S. I have so far found seven people whose first names are Ambrose. Ambrose G. Bierce (a Union veteran who fought at Chickamauga and horror author), Ambrose Remley (a Union veteran who fought at Chickamauga and whose water canteen is at Chickamauga museum/visitor center), Ambrose E. Burnside (a Union general who fought at Antietam and who burnsides were named after and who designed the Burnside Carbine), Ambrose S. Stevens (a Union colonel and commander of 21st Michigan who was injured at the Battle of Perryville). Ambrose W. Davidson (a Union veteran of the 137th New York who said he was over 18 at recruiter by standing on a piece of paper with "18" written on it in his shoe, but who was 14 years old who died at a hospital due to illness), Ambrose P. Hill (a confederate veteran who fought at Antietam and was general), and Ambrose R. Wright (a confederate veteran who fight at Gettysburg and infected with venereal disease).

Why not an episode on Grierson’s very successful raid? It was April 17- May 2, 1863. Morgan’s Raid was June 11 - July 26, 1863. Meridian wasn’t until Feb. 3 - March 6, 1864. Sherman learned from Grierson.

I just learned that OOHoward is part of my mother’s lineage. Thank you for this deep dive. Maine… I am forever grateful for my family being on the right side of history.

Great presentation as Stones River always captures my attention. Can't wait for Dan Masters book to be released this Fall. One thought, though. I can't help but wonder what effect a Union defeat at Stones River would have had on the Emancipation Proclamation, given that the Union also recently suffered terrible losses at Fredericksburg and Chickasaw Bayou. I believe it may have been viewed as Secretary Seward said months earlier as "the last measure of an exhausted government".

Hey! How did I miss this? Maybe develop a mailing list?

I’m going back over “old” episodes (I subscribed rather recently) and just came to this. Darn! If only I had known you two were visiting Harrisburg near where I live. Would loved to have joined you! Next time?

Great episode guys!

I've never heard the term "Spice Girls" ever used in a description of Civil War actions. 😆

Johnston had a history of operational retreats. Cf the Penninsula Campaign where he basically retreated to Richmond! Granted … he saved lives … .

Mare having a Mare 😂❤ Welcome home 🏡

Hi. Out of curiosity, do you have any Morgan books to recommend? (I seem to like Stephen W. Sears’ style in the long shot that is sny help.)

Perhaps let us know in advance the next time you visit Gettysburg?

Other than myself, the gentleman (and perhaps the lady) is the first person I have ever heard who has said give me cold over hest every time. I’d move to Canada if I could. It is now (and has been for weeks) too hot here in South Central PA to go out for a walk until sundown.

Is there a way to send alerts to us, so when I am busy I can view you 2 live? Asking for a friend

Great to hear that someone in charge actually stepped in to preserve something so important. Don't local planning authorities in the US have to do cultural impact studies of planning approvals?

This is so cool! What a great opportunity for you two!

Excellent conversation on a too often overlooked battle (in my backyard :) Keep up the good work (and beer recommendations)

Very interesting history. Lousy communications at that time but talented soldiers. Just not perfect.
