My Father never took me to Six Flags or any Amusement Parks.... He took me to Old Civil War Battlefields in the Tennessee and Kentucky Area in the late '80s when I was a child..... I got to go to LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN and I loved it... My Father explained to me that this War was a Fight of our own Family of Americans and it was settled forgiven and forgotten..... It instilled a deep-seated Affection for these National Monuments that tell the History and Bear the Scars of our Nations American Civil War.....❤️💯❤️💯❤️
Thank you for making this video! Great presentation and lots of amazing history! I just moved up here to Chattanooga a few months ago from Tampa, Florida. I have always loved history, Civil War history being my favorite. I can't believe that I'm living in the middle of so much bloody, beautiful, and critical historical awesomeness! My adult son and I went up to Point Park the other day to observe the fall trees and I was amazed at the beauty. I could picture these events happening around me. I'm getting ready to head out to go to Chickamauga Battlefield in a few minutes! Anyway, I'm now subscribed, and hope to catch a live stream sometime. (This is about 3 years after you recorded this, I hope you still do them!)
Fantastic tour. Really gets into the minds of the generals and the landscape where it happened. I'm writing a book about an ancestor who fought there under Rosecranz.
I feel a huge sense of pride in my heritage every time i go up there. They also cut down alot of the trees on top since this video so the views even better
Both my great great grandfather Private William Garner and great great great uncle Private John N Garner both of the 32nd Tennessee Infantry fought at The Battle of Lookout Mountain
A lot of people like to take potshots at Grant in a way that they probably wouldn't at Lee. Grant had initially been kindly disposed toward Old Rosey as Rosecrans was known. By the time he wrote his memoirs, he had become aware of Rosecrans' efforts to undermine him. It's all very well to have a plan but Rosecrans hadn't ENACTED that plan. That was a prime reason for Grant, on Lincoln's authority, relieving him. He was far too cautious and indecisive. If he'd carried out his plan to relieve the supply problems faced by his command, perhaps he would not have been relieved.

Hardee's Corps, under Lt. Gen. William J. Hardee, consisting of the divisions under Brig. Gen. John K. Jackson (Cheatham's Division), Brig. Gen. J. Patton Anderson (Hindman's Division), Brig. Gen. States Rights Gist (Walker's Division), and Maj. Gen. Simon B. Buckner Breckinridge's Corps, commanded by Maj. Gen. John C. Breckinridge, consisting of the divisions of Maj. Gens. Patrick R. Cleburne, Alexander P. Stewart, Carter L. Stevenson, and Brig. Gen. William B. Bate
I almost stopped watching (because of that), but after awhile, I got used to his "enthusiasm". I just think it is his personality, he isn't doing it to annoy anyone.
Liked this as I wanted to see historical detail of the battle itself, having just read Grant's memoirs about this campaign, but I was ready to turn it off and dislike it after about 3 minutes of listening to the guy with the brown cowboy hat, who I find extraordinarily annoying, and distracting from the content. Hashtag clown. I'm not even talking about the many poor video and audio problems.
Gary, I see that you're enthusiastic about your area of expertise. That is great. I feel compelled to point out that I for one am put off by your style of presentation. I believe I speak for others as well, judging by some of the comments I've seen. I feel that your overly energetic demeanor detracts from the honor and respect due this civil war history. I believe you are sincere in your efforts to present this story of our national history to the public. I think you would be more successful in conveying the value of this history if you could tone down or alter your style of presentation. Respectfully yours, JD.
Quit being so negative Jonathan Way to go Gary I’d be giddy too doing these little clips Do you think they fought the battle containing there emotions!!!!
@@viberstrike3773 No. It is such a distraction. I mute when Gary is talking. it is so glib. The snark, the glib, the back-stabby, the gossipy, the petty foggery, the unctiousness, the list of insincerity goes on and on with Gary.
That's what drives me crazy. The north and the south were all American soldiers. Leave ALL the statues and monuments up. Don't change the names of places. When you give thanks to veterans remember our southern brothers and sisters.
I think there's a difference between these monuments and markers than say the Forrest Statues in Nashville . The former are historical the latter is def not
@@totallynotalpharius2283 Exactly. Leave up all monuments, markers, plaques, etc. in battlefield parks North and South. And leave everything that resides in museums, of course. But take down Confederate flags and statues at statehouses and in public squares, and monuments to traitors such as Nathan Bedford Forrest (a killer who founded the KKK after the war). Common sense, really.

very well done, men. I grew up on Missionary Ridge just a stones throw from Bragg's reservation.
Good job, guys. This is better in regard to information than some of the staff rides I went on when I was in the Army.

That's an awesome statute from NY.
Good job, everyone! Sorry I missed the live feed. Western theater is important.

My gg grandfather fought at Chickamauga for the Southern Confederate forces. Eaglegards...
Salute from Alabama
Thank you
That was great!
Both my great great grandfather Private William Garner and great great great uncle Private John N Garner both of the 32nd Tennessee Infantry fought at The Battle of Lookout Mountain
Very good! I enjoy these.
But I can't help but wonder if Gary still lives with his mother
Can confirm he owns his own house.
Love these videos and lessons. The fast cadence and dialogue is a little interesting though.
There's also a monument to the Andrews Raid in the Chattanooga National Cemetery. 🚂💥🇺🇸
"The Battle Above the Clouds."
I like the documentary but good god man you sure do jump around a lot
On the confederate casualties sign. Why are there so many missing?

Does anybody know who the Confederate units were here , looking for relatives.

Wasn’t Gen Slocum in charge of the 12th Corps???
I believe that Chattanooga was one of the last chances for the confederacy
Their last 'best' chance was before firing on Sumpter . . Traitors . . .
@@EM-pw9tr Yep,and they killed more Yankees,than the Yankees killed rebels.WHAT are you?A mommies boy living in her basement?
@@EM-pw9tr Bingo, amen and touche.
Henry Van Ness Boynton is an ancestor of mine.
Been to military civil war park chickagga
forget the "zen" and enjoy the beauty of Creation!!
The lady sitting on the rock looks like it may be Mrs. George Armstrong Custer.
Dude! Cut back on the caffeine and energy drinks!

He's just excited.
He loves his hobby !
I can't disagree with this more. Garry's demeanor and passion makes these battles come alive for me.
WELL SAID.

that's right! teach all of history so students can learn.
