The Overlooked Battle of Tebbs Bend: Civil War Kentucky
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- With names like Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant dominating the headlines, we often forget just how many different actions of the Civil War were happening at the same time. There is no better representation of this than the Battle of Tebbs Bend, which occurred on July 4, 1863 - one day after the conclusion of the Battle of Gettysburg and the SAME day that the Siege of Vicksburg came to a close.
Join Kentucky native Taylor Bishop of the American Battlefield Trust's Youth Leadership Team as he details this forgotten battle, part of Confederate Brig. Gen. John Hunt Morgan's Raid onto Northern soil.
Look for our numerous videos on RUclips over the next week, and special thanks to all the donors who helped make this trip possible!
This young man is very knowledgeable and presents himself very professional manner. I am impressed! Good job!
I was going to post the same thing. Props to him.
Agreed. I really like this kid.
Garry is awesome, as usual, this young guy Taylor is sharp, very interesting to listen to.
Garry, your enthusiasm is infectious and inspiring. You sir are quite an exceptional teacher. This young local man knows his stuff and he did a really fabulous job too.
OUTSTANDING! Taylor did a superb job. This story really flowed for me. I googled the Tebbs Bend Battlefield Plan and it's a great PDF of the plans for entire site along drawings, photos and maps. Wonderful guys! I take it Kentucky deer hunting season in swing with muzzle loaders going on when you were filming and modern guns starting today. 👍
Good work young man from another proud Kentuckian.
I love getting the youth to talk about it
This young man is talented. You have found the next generation! Great video!
Very Professional, man!
That makes me so proud to know he is into this stuff just as I were at his age. It really gives me hope!
Great job!
Gary.. Of course.. Great job!
Awsome job Taylor I'm about your age and love learning all the history in the civil war and also awsome to Gary and the crew
As a proud Dad of two kids (are they still kids when they're 20 and 17 and far cleverer than me), I love learning interesting facts from them as much as I enjoy passing my historical knowledge to them. Watching this just confirms how great it is to see young people with a passion for learning. Great work in all your efforts to encourage them and make exceptional videos like this.
What a fantastic job Taylor did, very engaging. I was totally into it when the shots started to fire. Great video and story
Very impressive Taylor Bishop..
Taylor I must say that ed bearrs would be very proud of you. Very very well done my friend. And keep these coming Gary. As fast as you post them I watch them.
Taylor was terrific!! Future Battlefield guide! Gary and team are awesome! Can't wait for more videos!
Awesome job Taylor. Your passion for history shines.
Taylor is excellent and a real credit to the ABT. His style is very much like Gary's, which is always super to watch and listen to.

Garry you need to hire this kid before he gets away. very impressive memory and knowledge. Great job Taylor!
Great video and fantastic presentation. Really learned a lot and first time learned of this engagement in any detail. Thanks again!
Thanks American Battlefield Trust! I had never heard of this one fascinating! Thank you Garry and Thank you Mr. Bishop well presented! Enjoyed it immensely
Get to Wilson's Creek, Carthage MO, Pea Ridge AR and Prairie Grove AR. Very interesting battle way out here in the West.
Wonderful to hear from such an eloquent young man.
Very cool - Taylor was an excellent guide!
Very, very well done. Greetings from Holland, Michigan the home of those Dutch boys of Company I, 25th Michigan Volunteers. On July 4, 1988 I attended and spoke at the unveiling of the State of Michigan Historical marker there on the battlefield. Thanks to Betty Jane Gorin Smith whose has tirelessly led and championed the efforts to memorialize the Battle of Tebbs Bend, Kentucky.
Great presentation! I never heard of this battle and am very glad you brought it too us. Lots of personal detail which makes it more interesting. Great job Taylor! Great job Gary!
It is good to see young people who are interested in these battlefield
Taylor did so well! Great job!
This was so well done, and both of you did a fantastic and superb job on this presentation.
Excellent presentation about Tebbs Bend battle, keep it up.
Excellent presentation, and Taylor Bishop is very impressive. Very well done.
On that board, two of my second-great-granduncles from the 11th Kentucky Calvary are mentioned as CSA casualties. Brothers Austin and John Cosby fought in Company B. Thank you for the video!
RIP Orlando Moore
Thank you for your service! 🏅
Vert well done, Taylor!! I look forward to seeing you often on future ABT videos.
It is obvious that Taylor knows his Civil War history. His enthusiasm and knowledge makes him an outstanding guide. Hope that he writes about the Battle of Tebbs Bend.
Great job on the historical aspect!!!
Like hearing about the lesser known battles and or skirmishes.
I see a future Gary in the young historian. The knowledge of subject matter, hands and arms expression, and verbal fluidity.
Great presentation of a little known action. This is a situation where a drone video of the field would be so helpful for understanding what's being presented, but otherwise terrific stuff. Thanks!
Nice work! Thank you
Great stuff.
My ancestors lived in Kentucky out in Walton, there houses are still there.
Awesome job!!
OUTstanding Taylor. Great job1
A true kentuckian. I like it. Put this guy in more videos
Well done Taylor. Incredible to be that well spoken and knowledgeable at your age. Keep it up. I'm researching a man who was later a federal scout in the 1870s out west who claims to have fought here and was captured with Lt MV Gudgle. Any info on POW numbers on the confederate side?
I'm a soft more and I have published a book on the Little Bighorn, I live in Wyoming, I am working on a 100 page book on Gettysburg!
Custerkiller76 I will be on the lookout for your Gettysburg book
I am guessing the 3 people who disliked it were because they ask for donations or Taylor’s blue hat lol! I loved the kid. Reminds me of Garry a bit!
Garry does a much better job than some of the older presenters on these presentations. One major complaint would be that he does not point to the positions where the various actions took place, nor does he indicate the directions of the troop movements. This is a major failing of many of these presentations. The best has been the Harpers Ferry historian. Location, location, location.
I want the history, the names and stories from these videos. I have many books, and internet resources to see the movements. If they did do what you are asking, I think it would be done justice with a drone and video editing with the arrows, exe. That would be a neat addition if executed properly.
Kid was awesome!
Would It be possible to do one of your great talks about the battle of Iuka Mississippi? My Great- great grandpa William Toney with the Seventeenth Iowa Infantry Volunteers was there. I think it was they're first action of the war.
Right around the corner from me.
I had no idea how many battles were in Ky.
Where did you find this ki kid. Taylor.
Hire the kid. He did a great job.
I wonder if anyone dredged the river to find some Civil War artifacts?
Nothing better than accidentally having gunfire in the distance
Great job Taylor! Garry, in the future, if the youth are doing the video, let them do it. Keep the adults completely out of the video. Thanks.
Does Garry have the biggest hands you've ever seen? 😅
"Morgans Raiders" stopped by the McFadden family farm in eastern Ohio and took some pigs. Belmont county.
How soon would have other military units learned about Gettysburg or Antietam?
Were other units part of a coordinated plan or were units like these just out doing more or less their own thing?
The kid was doing a great job till Gary told him to speed it up!! LOL/ Actually he continued to do a great job!
I’m serious!!! If you wanna explore the left side of the river, let me know!! I’d be happy to escort ya or give you written consent if you’d like. The property was purchased to preserve the historical land and so we could shoot Lol
Your jus a kid what do you know? Kidding great yob kid
Isn't that taking the Marine Corps job when you send Children to Battlefields????
Need to get my metal detector on some of that private property. :)
If COVID ends.
I've been through Kentucky not much there. A lot of loose women
