Strongly recommend Mr. Robertson's biography of Jackson. 'Stonewall Jackson: The Man, The Soldier, The Legend'. Brilliantly researched and written.

It was a misunderstanding, Lee mistakenly took Grant as the regimental blacksmith on account of the dirty uniform he wore. So Lee handed Grant his sword to be sharpen and next thing you know the yankees were going on about a surrender.

In this overland campaign grant's need not to step over meade slowed down the campaign and lost initiatives he could have taken if he had singular and direct field command like he had at shiloh and chattanooga where he was at the front commanding his brigadier generals.

There is so much to Lees route of retreat in VA. What about Sheridan’s ride to cut off Lee? They should mark that route in Virginia.

Lee a great general? Who did he beat? Burnside, Hooker, Mcclellan, Pope? All were bad generals. He was bested the moment he met a good general in Meade, and he never won a great offensive battle without stonewall jackson. I implore you to study Napoleon at Austerlitz. The battle is identical in every way to Gettysburg down to the terrain and number of men engaged on each side. Study what Napoleon did, and you will find your great general.

Just give a few dollars to the local congressman and that military park will be history, so sad ffs.

We love coming here, especially on the night where there are Old Time Bands. We also like the Bluegrass music 🎵🎶 because we clog and two step dancing. Thank you all at Lays Hardware. We drive over an hr to come to Lay's. The folks that run Lay's as well as the folks that come to listen to the band and those of us that come to do our heritage dancing, clogging, flat footing buck dancing and two stepping. We love a good night with the Old Time Bands with the fiddle in the band. Come on down and enjoy a good clean atmosphere.

The narrator, professor James I. Robertson Jr. has a pleasant southern drawl and replaces his Rs with Ws, not unlike the way a child does. This is not a complaint but rather the opposite.

So I assume this is the last one? It was a lot of fun seeing all of these vintage episodes. Thank you!

It was a civil war a war between north and south It had nothing to do with saving the USA you need to read up on your history just cause it was about slavery you wanted to say something whe you don't know shit sorry for saying this people but people like this is why or country going hell in a handbag willoutlaw is a douchbag

1 of the GREATEST cooking shows ever.

Laban would ask why no punctuation was used to clarify the title of this video. He might have suggested: The "Is That a Banana, Mama?" Show.

This program must be quite old. James I Robertson died on 11/2/2019. His distinct southern accent is missed.

How Sweet the Two Angels on the iron backing of fireplace in Bedroom where he was born 7/56 Was he a Freemason?

I’m Australian and love these episodes and in particular the late great Dr Robertson. I have had one or two great lecturers throughout my university studies and this gentleman is wonderful to listen to. Wonderful production value too. Thank you!

To state the obvious, Lee tried to invade the North twice, and as soon as he no longer had the help of the citizens to feed him local knowledge of the land, and send him intelligence about the Union army, he got his ass handed to him. As long as he remained in Virginia, where every schoolboy was a scout and every farmer a spy for him, he did okay. Lee might be the most over-rated military man in American history.

Stonewall did hesitate..ask Pickett,and the soldiers laying out in the sun for hours before the charge.

All the faces are there

I enjoy all the videos your apart of God bless you and your family God bless America and stonewall was a beast. I respect many things about stonewall. Learning history is fun I think more Americans should I think many are lost and only believe what’s told to them Thank you

I loved every minute of this documentary of this great man.❤

Be sure to watch the guys fishing for salmon at 14:36

It’s easy to run down the commanders of the Army of the Potomac but they had the difficult task of taking the fight to the enemy. Lee was fighting a defensive war but every time he had to take the fight to the north he was quickly dispatched. The southern armies never really threatened Washington anywhere like the GAR did multiple times before final victory.

I loved and love Ralphs music im sorry he got snooked by Brry Obama.

Lee was looked at like a father his men would anything for him except win the war. I guess he didn't ask them too, Lee was overrated.

Just wonering was Lee a traitor to the Republic? Thomas a fellow Virginian honored his oath.

I grew up in Virginia and I first read his books because so many were set in Virginia. Still reading his books.

that Army story is crazy. that's what I call moving up the ladder. he must have been so good to turn the head of a general.

what battlefield is not a graveyard?

It’s such a pleasure to hear and see these presentations on Robert E Lee. As an Australian, I didn’t take too much of an interest in American history. Two visits stateside disabused me of this! These episodes and my new readings on the Civil War are my bedtime reading and viewing. Thank you!

American hero.

All traitors

America you can put some of the blame Ralph Stanley for the election of Barry obammy ,he ran radio advertisements on local radio,I turned the station off . I never listen to any of his music anymore,or the radio station. What a disgrace.

What the heck have I found?

God i love Ralph i wish Carter had lived as long I love and miss the Stanley Brothers

Sadly, James Robertson has passed away, and Jack Davis is in his late 70s. When the great historians of our nation, and my generation, are gone, those who stand in such narrow-minded judgment and spew vitriolic hate toward The South will have their day. From the direction The United States is headed, I predict they will understand, too late, the true meaning and need of "states' rights and fighting for survival of home and family. The two things elemental to the human condition is that 1) history ALWAYS repeats itself, and 2) Human beings NEVER learn from history.

Well done...perfect end of the summation

My sister sent a recipe in for southern Oriental. Her recipe aired last night. She died on October 16 2016. Even though this show is old I cried when her recipe aired. She was proud of her recipe. Thanks for sharing it again.

As an Australian, I love the story and this gentleman’s accent.

Excellent.

too much lee worship

I've been a student of American history all my literate life and i say Robert E. Lee is the 2ndd greatest American that ever lived

😂 real and true of the A America experience with the people of color and a great day for all of us hopefully you have a great day of probably be strong and your family are strong

Stonewall Jackson's campaign in the Shenandoah Valley was absolutely masterful. What a true tactician and audacious general.

I truly believe Gen Lee's men would have marched to the gates of hell for him. Shoeless, unarmed, starving....they'd of done it. Simply bc he commanded them to.

Thank you for bringing this series back to life. In the late 80s my 3 year old son and I would watch this together. Brings back fun memories.

LOL…. No one outside of the hillbilly redneck southerners even recall REL… y’all are living a delusional life

man do i love that virginia accent. lol... i wish i had it

Sore loser.

Ummmm..... pretty sure the 30,000 dead confederates in the cemetery died in defense of *slavery*, not so much "in defense of their state".
