- With the closing of Devil's Den for a six month rehabilitation project, the American Battlefield Trust wanted to provide visitors an opportunity to tour the site virtually. Join Garry Adelman and Kris White as they walk around the renowned Gettysburg site and detail the history of photography on the battlefield. (Devil's Den is now back open to the public).
You can learn more about the Rehabilitation Project by the National Park Service here: www.nps.gov/ge...
The American Battlefield Trust preserves America’s hallowed battlegrounds and educates the public about what happened there and why it matters. We permanently protect these battlefields for future generations as a lasting and tangible memorial to the brave soldiers who fought in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Civil War.
great job guys!
Thank you! Love this video format
Love the video! Please shot more like this and please don't stop!
You all are simply THE BEST. Thank you so much for all that you do to preserve our U.S. heritage and history.
I really like the two-camera approach. Frequently in other videos I shout "Wait, turn that way!" and in this video one of the two cameras was always looking where I wanted to see.
I would like to see some drone video for orientation.

Drones are not allowed in National Parks
@@horizon42q Did not know that. Thanks !
Really well done! Thank you!
Having grown up in NJ, we visited and vacationed in Gettysburg many times. Now grown with a family of my own and living much further away, I have a great desire to bring my kids to the battlefield one day for them to experience it for themselves as I did when I was a kid. great memories. Thank you for these videos.
More of this kind of presentations please. This video was great.
My Great Great Great Grandfather attacked Devil's Den on that fateful day. 17th Georgia Infantry Regiment. May the fallen never be forgotten.
Great to see Chris and Gary again. Thank you!
Really like the two cameras. You get to see more and learn more. Keep up the great work you are doing♥️it.👍😊
Fabulous concept! Do more!
Outstanding! More please. Thanks for all your organization does. Glad I am a member!
Thanks for your support!
Great video! I've spent a few days at Gettysburg, and it was a fantastic experience for anyone interested in history.
Do you have any recommendations for nearby hotels and tour companies. Is it worth renting a car?
I love this video especially how I'm really big into Gettysburg devils den
Thumbs up on the new video approach. I also appreciate the heads up on the closure. Devil's Den is my favorite spot to visit at the park. I have fond memories of the first time I visited with my dad back in the 70s.
My first cousin 4 generations removed was Sgt David Alva Barnett of Company B 99th PA.
Loved this approach. Please do more of these. I finally went to Gettysburg last summer after wanting to go for 40 years and I cannot wait to go back. Great job you two.
The re location of the “first” 99th PA Monument is significant as they assisted in getting some of Cushing ‘s guns removed on July 3 during Pickett’s Charge.
Thanks for sharing this, nice to see it this time of year!
I lived near Gettysburg for over 27 yrs and visited it regularly. Such an amazing and somber place to visit. Now moved to Nashville and miss Gettysburg greatly. Now its time to invest time in this areas rich CW history.
I appreciate these kinds of videos. As a person with a mobility disability most of the areas outside of a visitor center are not normally accessible to me. These kinds of videos give people like me an opportunity to experience these important historical sites. Especially when you intersperse aids like battle maps and photographs this is extremely informative.
This perspective is the best thing ever for those of us who can't travel for whatever reasons. This is exactly why I've been watching you guys for years.
I got seriously into the Ken Burns series and the movie 'Gettysburg'. My confusion was a lack of North, East, West, South directions and multiple camera directions.
Only a visit to the battlefield cleared it up. Amazing place.
Once again brilliant,for someone on the other side of the world who loved American history from my youth ,these videos are fantastic and give a great visual to the written history,please keep it up ,thanks
Love the walkthroughs. As someone from Australia who’s unlikely to ever get to Gettysburg, these provide a really immersive experience
Hello to fellow Civil War buff from down under! I am from Sterling Heights,MI and Gettysburg is my cathedral, when I retire in 5 years. I plan on moving there at that time. If you are a podcast fan
there is Addressing Gettysburg, which is fantastic. And Gary is on some of the episodes as well. If you ever come to Gettysburg, you will not find a better group of Americans and how they truly are hospitable they are. And you would be close to a lot of other battlefields nearby as well. So much US history in such a close area. Well have a great day and I wish you can make the trip one day,my friend. And I did travel to your beautiful country in 1985 via the US Navy and Perth and Western Australia was awesome.
Your narration is priceless and vital. Thanks again for this walkthrough.
Super - more please!
Strongly endorse and appreciate this approach. Live 2,000 miles away. I want to see the battlefield. Don’t need the stories about individuals that permeate many presentations. I can find those stories all over the internet and from books. Have never had a good look at Houcks Ridge, or the Rose Woods, from the inside. Plus, the running commentary is awesome content.
Great job lads. Looking forward to see how the rehabilitation project turns out.
Great job Garry and Kris!! Video was great and I always love what you guys are doing. Keep up the awesome work you and all ABT is doing!!! Really looking forward to seeing your videos for your next road trip of the Atlanta Campaign that will be happening very soon. Keep up the great work and always stay safe and thank you for all your doing to preserve our nation's battlefields.
Awesome video, loved the walk and talk with 2 cameras!
Great video. Loved the fantastic views and your narration of the events. Keep it up!
Enjoyed all your videos so far. Nice that people can hear real and not politicized history.
Great job as usual guys, many thanks!
Very much enjoyed this video. Thank you for doing these programs.
One of my favorite videos is where you blend in old photos on location it really brings it home, great job!
You can find videos like the trolley ride in San Francisco before the earthquake and the intent of the filmographer was certainly what you are doing here. Future generations will look at this and marvel.
I love this format! As a map guy, I would love a pane showing a GPS (or pseudo-GPS) track of where you are and which way you are looking. Really enjoyed this!
Fascinating, thank you! Can’t wait to visit again after renovations (ooos I meant rehabilitation).
This was great I have never been to Gettysburg. Love tours like this I don't walk to good Ms.
Excellent. You two are vituosos. The next best thing to being there.
Thank you for this. Great views and commentary!
What a great approach to seeing the area! More such “walk arounds”, please!
Greetings from Central Ohio! Great video fellas! As always, you bring such a sense of knowledge, energy and excitement to the effort, yet a healthy respect for what happened on that property. Keep’em coming!
Great video Chris and Gary. Well done. The 2 camera angle approach was terrific.
Very interesting. You guys sure know your Gettysburg history. Thumbs up!
Love this new style that you produced! The cameras are great, a little more wider view and crisp clear videos. And the way you two worked together, not over lapping one other when talking. Great job! Makes me want to visit and do some low light photography.
Thanks Garry & Kris - enjoyed this style/content plus favorites like Garry's "Thing" hand...
Visited the battlefield in August of 2022 for the first time. The Den, and Little Round Top was closed when we visited. I love the split view with the Go Pros. Thanks for all the great content in your videos.
Thanks for this "before" video of Devils Den. I hope you will do another in 6 months to show the "after" view of all these shots.
Fantastic walk and video! Wonderful for folks unable to visit the battlefield. The video gets me excited for another trip to Gettysburg.
Firstly, overall I liked this approach. The two cameras approach seemed to give a greater depth of perspective. the fact that one camera was roughly where the other had just been suggested a battleline (or such). Imagine looking down the line of your company and at the other end is your mate (best buddy) from childhood, both facing the enemy, so also helped with the sense of humanity. Soldiers did not fight alone.The split screen i found distracting. Showing the view or feature from one camera point and then the other, again great perspective and immersion. If i wasn't in the UK I'd be planning a journey there right now. The banter (chat) between the two presenters worked well. Obviously very knowledgeable and enthusiastic historians/curators i think you could have set them out at dawn and they'd still be talking at Dusk (smiles). So again the two cameras works in that it gives two presenters, one can reposition whilst the other informs. The length of the video, 25 to 35 minutes is a good length for a video of this type. The maps, whilst i like maps they did not give a full view and made the encounter seem isolated from the greater scope of the battle. it would have been nice to see Devils den in relation to Gettysburg town then and now. Pointing it out, the den and its locations, in relation to surrounding features, very nice. So overall great, a good direction, no pun intended, for the composition of your videos.
Garry, I like this approach with the the 2 cameras, and I am very fascinated with history of the Battle of Gettysburg, especially on the second day near Devils Den, Houck's Ridge, Triangular Field, The Wheatfield and The Peach Orchard
I really enjoyed the two-camera technique and am so glad you were able to do this before Devil's Den closed for restoration. I was there the same day and was excited to see you two were filming it for everyone to experience. Well done!
Thank you very much 😀. I love this style of camera -work from you 👍😀
It's that time of year! The battlefield walk season!
Great duo! Great descriptions! Great camera work! I'd definitely like to see these two do this again!
Love this new perspective of "walking around" a specific location on the battlefield. Hopefully there will be more of these types of videos coming in the future!
That was super amazing to see.. I love the way you two walked around and described the Devils den area and all the fighting that took place. Its just so hard to imagine what all of the soldiers from both sides had to endure. Ive been reading alot of books on Gettysburg and other civil war battles, i would hope to visit some of them some day. Keep up the great work
Love the dual cameras and wow they are hi def! It is great to hear the one two punch of Garry & Kris who have different perspectives of the same scene while both cameras are panning separately. This seems to be a much more dramatic and immersive experience!
Glad you enjoyed! Another for Little Round Top is on the way. We also have one for Kennesaw Mountain: ruclips.net/video/4gqjS_DMkI4/видео.html
Truly unbelievable video of an unbelievable place.
Nice! You guys are great at what you do and my repeat viewings of your work is testament to that fact. Always looking forward to the next one!
I enjoyed this new format for videos. In particular, I liked the split-screen format. (I'm glad you both held your cameras fairly steady and didn't swing them around too much, so there was little danger of vertigo!) I also enjoyed the fact that you showed the battlefield in a season other than high summer. I've been lucky enough to visit Gettysburg, but only during summer vacation. The rocks and pathways all look different when the trees are bare and the cool light of spring floods over everything. And finally, I thought you gave viewers about the right amount of background information. I've enjoyed some recent videos with titles like, "95 Seconds on the Antietam Battlefield," which don't have a lot of audio. They're fun videos too, but I seem to need more than the visual panorama to make sense of what I'm seeing.
It is always amazing to see how different battlefields look in different seasons.
Yes! More of this please
Thanks guys! Great stuff! I had last visited the site some time ago but hope to get there soon.
I liked the tour. I've said it before y'all have the coolest job in the world. Been to Gettysburg years ago hope I get to go back.
Thanks from Sydney!
Thanks Gary and Chris! Very nice really enjoyed the walk it was totally amazing! Hopefully next year I’ll be able to go visit there again.
Excellent video. Thank you.
Another awesome video! Thank you for the continued dedication to teach everyone about these great battlefields. I feel like we are getting a personal tour where we can later visit these locations and have a better understanding of how the battle unfolded. Definitely very much appreciated and your guys knowledge is obvious second to none.
Wish I had watched this prior to my visit in April of 24. Thanks for the great information and footage.
THIS IS A GREAT VIEW OF LOOKING AT THE FIELD.
Thank you for your passion gentlemen! I can’t say that I prefer one format over another. I just love watching anything you put out. Keep up the great work. I look forward to all of the contact you put forth.
This format with Garry and Chris is an amazing way to do this!
Check out the tour at Kennesaw Mountain in the same style: ruclips.net/video/4gqjS_DMkI4/видео.html
Thank you very much for this video! It's been a few years since I visited (shout out to Jim Vos from Grand Rapids Christian Schools!) and it's fun seeing it again.
What might be really interesting would be to have a split screen where the top is the camera and the bottom is an map showing where you are and the direction the camera is pointed. It might help to get a better understanding of the layout of the battle.
Cool idea, thanks.
Excellent video as always
I really liked this video. I like your walking format to visit different areas. I suggest you do it again where it makes sense.
I first visited Gettysburg with my parents about 1960 and a couple of years later on an 8th grade field trip. I visited infrequently over the past years. The last time was about 25 years ago.
Due to medical reasons, I am not able to travel. But I have always been interested in history and like your channel and I am subscribed.
You guys are AWESOME 👍🏼😎
Imo,the 2 camera approach was much better than what y'all normally do!
Thank you for the upload.
That was awesome guys, thanks 👍
You are all great in front of the camera but it is nice to have a walking view of the battlefield while listening to the history. Thanks again, y'all are awesome!
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO 📹.
I APPRECIATE IT IS VERY INFORMATIVE
ABOUT THE BATTLE.
Excellent!
Well done guys and yes, I do like the idea of the split screen with the different views, keep up the great work and just know it is greatly appreciated. .
Loved the tour Garry and Kris!!! It's folks like yourself that got me to come to Gettysburg and hope to come back when the whole park opens back up!. Just to listen to you'll talk about the battles and what happened there in 3 days I feel like I can see the battle happen. to also know that both of my Gr-Grandpa's were there fighting one on the 7th New Jersey Volunteers infantry and my other Gr-Grandpa with the 2nd Appomattox Raiders Calvary. Just see were they were fighting and the monument's were nothing shy of tears for me and all that was spilled there and lost. Luckily both survived it! So THANKS SO MUCH! And to the Battlefield Trust!!!
Best job Gary!
Great new format! I'd love to see more "walkabouts" of other battlefields.
Love this video. Wheelchair-bound in AZ., these videos allow me to “visit” and visualize the terrain. Thank you!
Thank you.
Thanks for this and count this as another vote for more videos like this!
We're going out there for Memorial Day and a few days after.
Please show more of "then/now" of where the dead lay so we can note and respect this when we walk the trails. I saw one of your prior episodes where this was featured and found it very engrossing.
There is a book on the then / now of specific photos that were taken there, if that helps. It is called ' Gettysburg A Journey In Time ' by Frassanito. It has some of the Devil's Den locations.
Great idea. Much appreciated
Irony: planned a trip to Gettysburg and it just so happens that this location as well as little round top will be closed. So I appreciate this video tour.
Gotta say I'm a little confused as to where to look BUT I love that you're continuing to find new ways to educate us! I'll figure it out. Don't mind me! And thank you!🙂
Thank you Garry and Chris for the "surround" split screen video. Although I wish I was walking the battlefield in person, this is about as close to that as you can get.
I love these videos. I wish we had them when we visited Gettysburg. It would of been a great guide to use. Will definitely be useful on our next visit . Thank you for what you are doing.
Great video guy's it's was a pleasure to meet both you that day :)
Great, keep up your good work!
As a veteran I would love to be able to go there someday.
