- The term "Devil's Den" elicits a variety of unpleasant images. On the afternoon of July 2, 1863, this jumble of boulders in South Central Pennsylvania played host to one of the fiercest struggles of the American Civil War. Join American Battlefield Trust Chief Historian Garry Adelman as he explores the story of the battle, the boulder-strewn landscape, and why this area became known as Devil's Den.
This video is part of our battlefield tour series commemorating the 158th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. You can view the entirety of the playlist here: • 158th Anniversary of G...

I like how you bring it, don't worry about the haters or the people say you talk to fast. YOU ARE FANTASTIC at what you do.
Yes absolutely… I couldn’t agree more.👍
I've never found this subject interesting, truly. I'm watching this guy, and NOW it's important, nay IMPERATIVE, to understand what the heck happened here! :)
I can't say it better..so what you said ❤
Here. Here. He is awesome
Get off the haters BS, people have diverse opinions, that’s freedom 🇺🇸🤦🏼
Gary you and the other presenters are great. Lots of good information I didn’t know. Keep it coming.
As a Canadian I didn't have any interest in the civil war period. One visit to Gettysburg on a motorcycle trip and this place got under my skin.What an amazing town. You can really feel the history there. I have been a civil war buff ever since I rode through this area and walked through the Devils den area .I highly recommend traveling to this area but look into it before you go, there are multiple ways to see the battlefields.
Don't change bro! It's you and your genuine! Next time I see you and your speaking slow I would think something is wrong lol. May your powder be dry and your day blessed!
Don’t listen to those haters. You do A GREAT Job.
You have to tell it with enthusiasm & energy.
You’re probably the best, being able to do all that without overdoing it @ all as well, but all of you are very, very good @ this , Story Telling. Great History lessons right here on this Ch. Love it.
Don't change for a few haters Gary. You and all the guests are doing a great job. 👍
I second this motion!
Love the energy and the passion!!!! Matches all of us, and always feeds!!!
I like Gary’s energy. Different flow. Gary is a good broadcaster! Go for it buddy! Thanks
Don’t change Gary .Your enthusiasm is great …
Just love this channel...and honestly i LOVE how Gary is so fast to give fascinating stories!! WELL DONE, KEEP IT UP!
Great job Gary! Love your passion.
I love this stuff!!!! Thank you so much for all that you guys are doing!!!
Gary, I love your enthusiastic presentation/speaking style! You're my favorite on this channel.

I saw Gary speak during a tour he had at the 150th. It was at the Devils Den. I just happen to be in the right place at the right time. He was awesome and this is how I'm here with ABT today.
Garry don't stop being you - that is the enjoyment of these videos! I agree with you in this is one of the more interesting locales that make the second day fighting so desperate and fierce.
You all are some of the best history teachers I've ever listened to.
Folks just have to accept that you get excited about the subject matter so you have an inherent tendency to speak quickly to impart as much information as possible! Thank GOD for our differences in person and personality!
This is way more interesting than history class!
Love this years video's ... hard to believe how hard it must have been to move and fight in that hot, humid, oppressive heat ... yet both sides saw it as a pivotal engagement .... both sides fought valiantly ... brother fighting brother ... each side believing their cause was just ... RIP to all that were lost
Great presentation as always Gary. The day you filmed this, I was the tall guy in the red kepi trying to stay out of your way by the 99th Pennsylvania monument and below the big rocks of Devils Den. I'm a patient guy who likes to take the time to listen to others speak. Great video.
Glad you got to view twice!
I remember! GA
I subbed.. U get straight to the history... Love the enthusiasm.. Forget the decaf lol..
Speaking fast is a PA thing. I understood you perfectly. Keep up the good work
This is the in-depth, on-site perspective of this part of the battlefield that I have always wanted to get. Thank you to all involved for capturing this!
Wow, I wish I could share everything that I have learned about the civil war over the last 30years like Gary does he
Is a genius. A true American!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Howdy from San Antonio to the ‘Gate Keeper!” Great job y’all! 🙏🏼
I DONT LIKE CALM GARY!!! Bring back CRAZY GARY!!! Now!!
My ancestor Sgt David Alva Barnett of Company B 99th Pennsylvania fought in this area.
Would absolutely love to visit the civil war battle sights, it fascinates me. However living in Australia I don't think it will happen, maybe a retirement bucket list trip. Great video.
Nothing beats the real thing but we're glad our trips can make a good replacement for you!
I've walked the Texans advance a few times. Its quite rewarding from a learning standpoint. The other thing you get is wet feet, twisted ankles and 3,000 ticks!
Salute to those Texans! Some tough hombres! You need to walk it though to deeper understand the (negative) nuances of that assault.
Thats a casual underestimate of the amount of ticks...
Watching from England, the stories are fantastic and your enthusiasm makes it so interesting. Would love to visit one day.
People say they don’t want the Confederate statues in their cities. I couldn’t see them having a problem of those statues included on the battlefields where Southern men fought and died. Please consider all those statues placed on the battlefields for people to see our American history.
I have always said that although historically significant, absolutely NO US Civil War military statues belong on display on village squares or greens or traffic roundabouts...its just not proper, regardless of what side they are from...That said..I believe that any removed "Confederate" statues be displayed prominantly on the actual NPS military park service historic battlefields for everyone and anyone who wants to enjoy them.
Good show guys. Sorry to hear about the recent monument defamation. Saddening people can be so obtuse. Me and my father will be in Gettysburg for a few days at the end of july, and the knowledge your association is putting out for us makes me that much more interested and excited to see these locations for myself. Coming from an American infantry veteran, thank you for sharing the history of my brotherhood and hope to see you when I get there
I love the energy in these videos, such an amazing story that is the battle of Gettysburg.
Keep talking fast Mr. Adelman! Love the energy!
Ramming speed!!
Love this guy. Joined the Battlefield Trust yesterday.
Thanks!
I believe i could drink a few beers with this guy...
Garry, I actually bought your book on Devil's Den on July 3, 2001 signed by both Tim and you. It was my very first Battlewalk and I've been a fan ever since. Thanks for all you do to keep History alive!
I’m a Yankee living in the south. It’s nice to hear your speech pattern, I miss it.
Just out of shoulder rehab! And enjoying the Gettysburg coverage! Keep it going Gary!
Love Devils Den, on of my favorites! Love that whole area from Little around Top to down there! SSSSickels🐍
Took my (8) yr. old Niece up there to DEVIL's DEN with a WONDERFUL!!!!!! Gettysburg Tour Guide. She looked around and walked around a bit, looked at the TOUR GUIDE and said to him:
"Why would they come up here? This was a SUICIDE MISSION!!!". The Tour Guide tried to explain their reasoning and she repeated her words.
No, she was only (8) yrs. old at the time with NO FORMAL MILITARY TRAINING!!!! The Tour Guide turned to me, and said "WOW! This Little girl is very, very intelligent! The troops could have used her then...."
This is excellent Gary, was really hoping you would do these lives from Gettysburg again this year. Excellent content. Hi from the Highlands of Scotland!
You two guys are awesome to listen to! Keep up the great work!! 👏👏👏
Man I would love to have been there while you describe the battle. Gary I love your enthusiastic talks. Don't slow down! Haha!
These walks really help me understand the movements much much better!
It's sickening how people would desecrate a battlefield or any memorial.
Just made the trip to Gettysburg. Going back and for third time with grandchildren in the future.
Hey man, I understand the folks telling you to drink decaf... I get that myself regularly! I am just a high energy person. We are just wirey, passionate and pumped! Pair that with a passion for history and the stories you are telling... I'd be pretty excited myself to say the least! I appreciate the passion, no need to tone it down! This has been great to watch, every single video. Thanks for taking the time and energy to share all this with us!

this guide is awesome ...on our visit 13 years ago our guide was good but this guy is GREAT
The amount of passion and information you're spewing is fantastic! Thank you!
Gary, Keep being you sir. The way you speak is absolutely fantastic. I love it and can’t get enough of it. 🙏
Garry Adelman is a force of nature! His enthusiasm is contagious. You couldn't find a better person to do his job.
These videos are just superb. Maybe in the future you'd consider wearing a mic on your shirt for better audio. Regardless, Garry is the best tour guide I've seen do Gettysburg!
This video...one word. MAGNIFICENT.
This was absolutely my favorite site when visiting Gettysburg as a child and a grown adult! Was just there four years ago! The sharpshooters I always think played a massive role in winning these battles. Incredible stuff.
I enjoy your cadence, and your knowledge and enthusiasm, but your manner of speaking fits for me. I’m a southerner and I’d expect nothing less than a northerner to give me a tour of Gettysburg. It adds to the authenticity I think. The same as I’d expect a southerner to give a tour of a southern battlefield.
I was here when I was a kid and want to visit again. Absolutely love this battlefield and Antietam
Loving these videos thank you from the UK, hoping to one day make it over to Gettysburg.
I agree that it is not best to laugh at confederate deaths. Look at where we are now. My great, great ancestors fought for the Confederacy in this battle and made it over the wall.
Greetings from Michigan!
Keep the excitement coming, Garry. You're doing a great job. Thanks for your objectivity in telling both sides of the story.
Two of my Confederate ancestors who were in the 20th Georgia Infantry Regiment part of Bennings brigade fought at Devils Den at Gettysburg
Wonderful presentation by you. Your enthusiasm and passion are amazing. I wish there was some way to protect the grounds from vandalism, but I know it is quite accessible.
No, Garry, don't give up coffee and don't go de-caf. After listening to so many of your videos now, I can actually say I've grown used to the auctioneer's delivery, and prefer it now to a normal person droning on interminably. Don't change a thing. Keep it coming fast and strong. It's a good thing to make us struggle a bit to keep up.
This is a brilliant presentation. Rather have talking too fast then too slow. It's perfect very informative
Fantastic presentation, delivered with passion and a thorough knowledge base. Brilliant. Thanks for sharing.
With respect, we're Hoosiers. I've never used Indianian.
Amazing content! Garry, you are a walking battlefield encyclopedia, my friend. Love the facts and anecdotes, so much detail! I look forward to seeing the rest of what you all have on offer for us.
Thank you for all you do!
NO SUCH THING AS USELESS INFORMATION.I truly love to hear anything that Gary wants to offer.
I wish my girlfriend had the same passion for me that Garry has for Gettysburg.
Careful what you wish for. If you get married to her and after about 25, 30 or more years she’ll pester you incessantly about this, that and the other thing that has NOTHING about what you want to do.
We need a larger wind sock for our mic
Definitely. The whole series is plagued with wind noise, sometimes making the audio unintelligible. Perhaps the problem will be corrected next year?
I really enjoy these videos. The enthusiasm and genuine passion of the guides for the topics, adds to the enjoyment.
Garry, you're fine with the "large basketball" comment. The NCAA women's basketball is slightly smaller than the one used by the men. As usual, you're precision is perfection!
I live in a battlefield area from ww2 and there is nothing left of it but some signs. its nice to see how everything there is still there in gettysburg, cant get any closer to how it must have been then that
Thanks so much Garry! Your enthusiasm and expertise is much appreciated!!
Gettysburg is beautiful and hallow. Wonderful tour experience for me and my family and even my Jack Russell Terrier. We just love it!
Love your videos, your zeal and your knowledge. Thank You
I have been hooked on your videos. I'm convinced you're the people that bought the house next to the poffenbuger farm. At the fork of old Hagerstown pike and the modern Sharpsburg pike. I was at the auction that day.
Super informative...been to the battlefield three times, including the 100th and 125th anniversary, but I learn a bunch of new stuff every time I watch one of these...great job
This was the absolute best narrative. You really made it so clear for me to visualize. Thank you Sir for doing what you do...Keep being you.
Would of been neat if when you show the battlefield map if you would of superimposed YOUSELF AND THE CAMERA location on that map youre showing so the viewer could orientate what we see in the video background behind you.
I love Gettysburg and visit several times each year from Pittsburgh. I thought I knew the battle and what happened. But your videos are like what 1000 gold bar would look like to a bank robber. I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THESE VIDEOS. Please please please make more.
Thank you, Gary, this was terrific!
WOW….What an amazing job they have done of restoring that area.
A cleanup job and preservation , restoration Job to the land itself. Beautiful, amazing, Great job.
I definitely think %💯 that keeping it all as close to how it was during the battle is the best option to keep people even more interested in wanting to see it and come see it in person for ourselves.
So that we can get as close a feel as possible, to attempt to see it as clearly as possible.
Really such A Great job of cleaning things up around there.
Recent videos already look so different. Great job with clean up & preservation. Thank you.
Gary needs to drink more NOS. 😂. Love your Enthusiasm. Keep em coming. Blessings from Gettysburg…
Greetings from New Orleans Louisiana, thank you for the wonderful presentation. Wish I was with you there.
I love your energy. I was never very interested in military history until I started to watch your videos. You’re fantastic!!!! Love your energy:)
I was just there yesterday on Memorial day weekend for my first time ever. This place is HUGE and throughout my day with my wonderful family i couldn't help to keep thinking we are walking where all these soldiers fought and died!! Absolutely need to be seen in person and def walk up the towers to see a better view of just how big this place is. Thanks for the cool video!!!!
Probably the best presentation on Devil's Den I've ever seen.
Looks beautiful...thanks for your efforts...expat American and amazed by Gettysburg
One of my favorite units at Gettysburg-Elijah Walker and the 4th Maine!
It was Benning's troops who killed Wisconsin general Hans Christian Heg at the battle of Chickamauga two months later.
Garry is soooooooooo good at teaching. Full of energy and loves his job.
Hi! I'm in love with Gettysburg and have been for years. Even though I have a degree in History and have a firm background in Civil War history, I've always struggled understanding the dynamics of the battle. The length of the battle and complexity of the battlefield are daunting! Your videos are extremely helpful! Thank you!
These videos are an amazing glimpse at our sad history …
Shout out to the cameraman Chris
What do you know about Brooklyn's 84th around Culp hill? I'm told they were the only ones with red pants.
I for one really like the enthusiasm you bring
Gary, you make history come alive. I missed this one, have seen alot of your videos. You're the best!
Thank you so much! I truly enjoyed your video. Love your enthusiasm & delivery. I'm exhausted just watching you! Bless your heart 💕. I would love to visit. Great!
Glad this video exists what with Devils Den being closed this year. Loved the video. You speak fast and therefore cover a lot of ground. Awesome!
Phenomenal presentation. Thought I knew a lot about the battle. Thanks for bringing it to life so well!!
I like when you speak fast. Passionate and inspiring. You have made what I used to think was boring come alive with your descriptions and explanations.
I truly value this presentation, your enthusiasm and knowledge. Thank you very much.
