- Hop in the car and join the American Battlefield Trust's very own Garry Adelman for this full tour of the Gettysburg National Military Park. The video highlights the same route that visitors experience when trekking the battlefield, and includes walking stops at the iconic sites of Confederate Avenue, Little Round Top and Cemetery Ridge. There is no replacement for being able to see America's Hallowed Grounds in person, but we hope this serves as a worthy option for the virtual experience. #gettysburgdrivingtour

i can tell you i will be going to the battlefield soon thanks to this video.
I visited Gettysburg in September. My wife and I look forward to returning.
During a break in the fighting, Avnet Doubleday thought up baseball.
great channel
Gettysburg also changed the approach of battle tactics I'm the U.S. Army. The confederate army was still using British Revolutionary War procedures with standing in rows on the face of fire. And Picketts Charge may have been the bravest attack in the history of US battles. It certainly was deadliest, 6000 soldiers killed. The Army after the war adopted Indian tactics while fighting in the West.
This video should be required watching for all American History courses. I understand Gettysburg 1000 times more than I did before watching. Thanks Gary.
Fantastic presentation and tour! My Great Grandfather, there with the Pennsylvania, was kicked in the knee by a mule on the second day of battle and could not fight. On the third day, the majority of his regiment died. I’m convinced I would not be here if not for that mule.
cool story
Amazing history
Why world you be proud of a coward?
@@MiggerPleasebruh his knee was probably smashed wym? He was a soldier in the civil war and more of a Man U will ever be
@@MiggerPlease Sounds like someone has set himself up as God and Judge of this situation. Being kicked by a mule is not a cowardly act. It is an act of God. If he had fought with his injury he most likely would have been a casualty. Might want to tone it down a bit.
Years ago, my wife hired a guide at Gettysburg for us as my birthday present. It was one of the best presents I ever received. When we stopped people would gather around to hear our discussion about each stop. It was a discussion and not just a lecture and for the short time he seemed part of our family. A guide is definitely a great investment and can make the battle and battlefield come alive for you!
I absolutely love the way Gary Adelmen tells the history of Gettysburg! He makes it come to life almost and makes you not want to miss a thing! Well done Gary!
Well said. I threw this on for what I thought would be just a few minutes but it’s hard to not finish it. I’m learning so much!
If it came to life any more you wouldn't want to go there.
@@Janetsfear speak for yourself! JK
I agree....but imagine driving behind him not knowing what was going on with his Arms Flying around and talking a mile a minute 😂
This is absolutely amazing! Thanks for putting this together.
I love your channel as well!
@@daegudiva - Thanks! Much appreciated.
Your channel also has some amazing videos, thank you for your time and energy from a British fan
Well well well, funny seeing you here. lol. Keep up the great work JD. I've been a fan for a long time!
JD good to see you here!!
You're channel is fantastic!!!
My father and I toured the battlefield in 2000. Dad was a WW11 10th MTN combat vet. When we drove to Little Round Top it was during a thunderstorm. To have have the flash of lightening and the bang of the thunder was so eerie...brought him back to Italy and his bond to soldiers of another generation. Love you dad and what your generation sacrificed for this country.
Your dad was a good man and soldier!
Oh wow you must be so proud of your Dad..and every reason to be..God Bless..
The greatest generation.
Must have been so surreal. Respect to your dad
@@1973ThunderBirds theirs just as many terrible women as their are terrible men. It’s a bias you’re experiencing. I had it too after my ex cheated and another ex tried to break a wine bottle over my head
Garry Adelman at his very best! He is superb at giving you a feel for the enormous sizes of the armies and the battlefields. This might be the best 2 hours I've ever spent on a "history lesson". At one point I thought I had watched this video for about 20 minutes and it had actually been 75 minutes! Time flies when you are enjoying something. I learn so much from this brilliant, entertaining man.
This is the way " History " should be taught ........................ Excellent ! thanks for the video
Garry's enthusiam is positively infectious. I've done the auto tour at least ten times and I found myself completely engaged the entirety of this video. He's completely right, you need to experience it for yourself. The sheer scope and breadth of the battlefield is incomparable. It takes your breath away just stepping foot onto such hallowed ground.
Garry this is quite possibly the best guided tour of the overall battle I’ve ever seen! Bravo sir!
I would suggest that everyone start with this video and then watch your other Gettysburg videos to drill down into the individual battles.
Again, well done sir! Excellent work!
I am going out this summer, I really hope to get Garry as a guide when I go!
@@DH-ij9pe "Matt Atkinson" is also an extremely good guide with a plethora of knowledge & a fantastic sense of humor...plus he's free since he works for the park service....
@@devilsden2283 Thanks for the info!!! :)
Well done Garry, I have visited Gettysburg Battle Field twice in my lifetime, oh what a memory, when I was there I could just feel something very special like the spirit of the battle and a very quiet and still moments of well it moved my spirit inside a sad but very movement of the human spirit Thank you Garry
I agree
I’m in Gettysburg. I used this video today as I drove the Auto Road. Gary does a fantastic job !
I stepped on those sacred grounds in the early 90’s on a cold winter day. Knowing my great grandfathers and ancestors were all there was extremely touching.
That is amazing. I gave a man from N. Carolina a tour of the battlefield. He also had ancestors who were here during the battle. It was a very emotional experience for him and myself. I'm not a licensed tour guide, I just shared historical facts about the battle..
This is just wonderful. I am from 🇬🇧 but I have to come to Gettysburg. 😻😻
What a great tour guide. The enthusiasm this gentleman brings to the stage almost brings the battle to life in that you can almost see the armies marching through the fields of battle as he describes the scene.
it’s so weird living and growing up in gettysburg and out of no where see videos like this. it’s a reminder how cool and historic gettysburg actually is.
Gettysburg is one of the most important places in American history by a great margin. I live and Frederick and only now appreciate this.
This is by far the best description of the events at Gettysburg I have ever heard.
Thanks this is brilliant. All the best from the UK
Sir, it was a privilege and honor to experience and capture the horror of what transpired that left me trembling at times, yet embrace the nostalgia of the glorious spirit of courage, bravery, honor, sacrifice, and the commitment for the preservation of a nation in every moment of this video. Thank you for sharing in depth your knowledge of the Battle of Gettysburg. May brethren on American soil never endeavor to such discord, hatred, division, and blood shed ever again. Long live the Republic!
Garry!! They should make a statue of you in your car, and put it there with all the generals, that's incredible!!! well done
l,m from the UK, visited Gettysburg in 2001 and other battlefields including Mannasas and Petersburg,always been interested in the Aimerican Civil War and it was a great experience, l thought the guide in this video was excellent,and he covered all the parts that l didn,t manage to get around too at the time.really well done.
As a Brit who for some reason has always felt a strong pull to this battlefield I absolutely loved this.
I hope to visit some day
.....Freemantle?....
I'm British but seeing films etc about Gettysburg always brings a tear to my eyes ..so sad and feel for those poor souls that died here..May their spirits rest in peace..
This is amazing! Great historian, much respect. Keep history alive, instead of destroying it.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your enthusiasm. In 2001 I was blessed to visit Gettysburg. I’m a history nut, and my grandparents immigrated from Ireland. I saw the Mourning Wolfhound monument to the NY 69th…the Irish Brigade. I walked Little Round Top. I was the only living person on that hill. But I felt as if I was being stared down the entire time. The date I was there? JULY 2. What a magnificent and humbling place. My our union always be strong. And free.
My great grandfather, Solomon Walter Gedney, attended the 25th, 50th and 75h reunions at Gettysburg where he fought. He died in his 90’s in 1941 soon after the 75th. He was buried in his uniform. I’m very proud of him and someday I will see Gettysburg. I’m sure he was one of the last surviving actual combatants. Thank you so much for this tour.
😮😊
Great story
Outstanding tour and narration. I have studied this battle for many years and visited this battlefield probably 12-14 times, so I wasn't sure what I would get out of this video, but Mr. Adelman's knowledge and enthusiasm made it well worth the time. I have visited every major battlefield from Shiloh to Gettysburg and although there are many fine historians and tour guides elsewhere, the quality here as a whole is unsurpassed.
I lived near Pittsburgh in PA for my entire life (25 years) and I never went to Gettysburg. I never thought I would find any interest in visiting, truthfully. After watching this video in full, I absolutely will be making a stop the next time I'm in the state. Thank you for posting this video, you did a FANTASTIC job. Your charisma and passion for history is undeniable!
Gary is the absolute the best in the business . Nobody explains it better than him . From the age of 10 and was at Gettysburg been a buff ! Now 73 are leaning more and I thank YOU !
Agreed. Gary’s the man and his enthusiasm for telling these civil war stories is on another level.
Thank you so much I'm almost eighty years old I'm shamed to say I've never been there, I've always wanted to visit but never been able to, America history is important to all American people and really the world.1770's - 1870's 100 years of history is my favorite time of America history The Civil War is interest but very sad as is Indian Wars, Americans have shed their blood across our nation, and across this world for freedom and rights of what they believe in, War is a tremble thing but there is no getting out of it. Again thank you for your tour.
I'm a 3 time visitor to Gettysburg and this video has me wanting to go back and do it all again. I love this man's passion and knowledge and insight. Very very well done. Bravo, sir. And thank you.
Fantastic video. Had me glued to the screen. I’m so happy that y’all are here to preserve our history. This was a moving experience.
This is wonderful! I was visiting Gettysburg from Australia 9 years ago and this makes me want to go back, and take my time exploring the battlefield and monuments and markers. It is such a bigger battlefield than I imagined.
I love your commentary - Thankyou!!
Gary must be steering the car with his knees for half the tour. Great video.
I'm a Canadian University student studying American history. We are coming up on the study of the American Civil War, and of course Gettysburg will be a big part of that study. I would like to thank you Gary for such an amazing presentation of what happened there. Watching your enthusiastic tour is a wonderful introduction not only to the Battle at Gettysburg, but the Civil War battles as well. Great job and thank you so much for making the Gettysburg battles so relatable, let alone understandable. I am sending my Professor info on this presentation. It is something ALL students worldwide, studying American history and especially the Civil War should see. Again many thanks.
This isn't the whole story, ask them about all the Indians that were murdered to steal that land.
@@deerobinson557 the indians never "owned" it...they just lived there.....
I visited Gettysburg in 1995. It's an important piece of American history that needs to be preserved, and every American should visit, and I hope the woke crowd doesn't shut it down and destroy the monuments.
well,..at least they're leaving the confederate statues alone....so far.....
Me too!
Best online tour I’ve seen and can’t wait to get over there from the UK to visit Gettysburg thank you
Went to Washington from the UK in September 2017 and as I,m very interested in The American Civil War it was just The place I had to visit .
Watched this in its entirety. It was excellent and Never a dull moment. Thank you Garry
Watching this from Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Thank you so much for the great tour. I was literally drawn in !
My great great grandfather Lt. Elijah Hayden died at the end of Pickett’s charge on July 3rd. He was with the 8th Ohio. I have been to Gettysburg several times and it is a very moving experience. This was an awesome video that I learned a lot from. Thank you Garry!
Amazing job! Have watched it three times today :-D
This is fantastic. My father and I are very interested in the history of Gettysburg and the American Civil War. I am particularly interested in cannons and Civil War surgery. If I am ever allowed to leave Australia again, I am definitely going to Gettysburg National Military Park after Covid 19 goes away.
I was there and took my tour in the summer of 2019, on the 4th of July no less! There is nothing like having the tangible reminders that our freedoms and nation were fought for by men who literally gave "the last full measure" to ensure that future generations would be able to live in the greatest nation on earth. It is beyond visceral when you are actually there and realize that the ground you are walking upon was once soaked with the blood of soldiers who stared death in the face and were not deterred from their duty. For many of this current generation, their gratitude is oblivious because the teaching of our history is being eviscerated by those who hate this country and they have zero concept of selfless sacrifice. This veteran salutes those who died for the Union and am proud to count myself as having lineage in their tradition.
Another reason this current generation has no sense of patriotism is because they're the first generation to NOT have a parent or grandparent fight in a major war. That makes a big difference. My dad was a Vietnam veteran and he gave me his love of country.
Young ppl today think it's "cool' to say how horrible America is. They have no idea the amount of freedom they have compared to other countries. They would last about 5 min in Iraq or Afghanistan. Our Constitution is a beautiful thing.
It's the Leftists who spread "self hate" as an idealogy. Especially among young white ppl. I'm NOT white and even I see it. But there are still plenty of ppl here who love the country. The media gives the vocal minority the most attention unfortunately.
You're right, Gettysburg has a very tangible feeling in the atmosphere. It's hard to describe.
Thank you for your comment! Amen.
@@trawlins396 our recent wars have been questionable wars with questionable objectives...not the case here...these men knew exactly what they were fighting for and gave their all...
I was toured this field about 10 years ago as a freshman in high school, and I can remember constantly having flashbacks and hearing the cannons and rifles go off and visualizing everything in my head. It was truly amazing to be there. Gettysburg is the Titanic it’s the Arizona it’s a place where a part of history was acted out on the stage of the world.
Oh HAILS yes! Thanks as always to you. I know what I’m doing tonight!
I had a driving tour of Gettysburg about 5 years ago. The guide did a really good job but I wish I could of got you for my tour. I really enjoy your enthusiasm! 😁
I went to the visitors center and booked a guide that drove my car and took me through the town and different days. I highly recommended you do this (book ahead if possible.) It was an experience I’ll never forget and a great way to explore the battlefield and have any question you could imagine answered. An absolute must for civil war buffs!!!
I'm going to Gettysburg in a week with my grandparents, this helped me a lot because they are history teachers. I cant wait to see the battlefield!
Nice I live near Gettysburg
This is brilliant …love it …being in London this is the closest I’d get to Gettysburg so thank you very much
I live in Oregon and this is as close I'll be able to go there.
Hope you make it here one day
@@danmorris8594 Oregon? Yes I was in Gresham, OR in 2008. I've heard the Fascist syndicate AntiFa trashed it now. So sad...
@@danmorris8594 cheers mate you never know have a great Christmas
@@chrisdavern9482 thanks, you too! I hope to make it to the UK on day.
This was awesome! Driving tours of more battlefields please...
If this one does well, we plan to!
@@AmericanBattlefieldTrust Chickamauga with Garry and special guest Jim Ogden please 🙏 😁
Thank You Gary Alderman for your wealth of Knowledge of the Gettysburg Battlefield.....This is one of your BEST videos to date....and your enthusiastic delivery was well toned throughout....Thank You for all you do........Kevin Rich
I've never felt as humbled as I did while walking around this battlefield. To actually stand on Little Round Top, explore Devil's Den, feel the energy was something I'll never forget.
lucky I get to experience it everyday. happy to call it home
If Stonewall Jackson had been there-- Watch out!
Fantastic, Gary!
This was a wonderful tour! As a new official American Citizen I can not get enough history. Love your RUclips channel and thanks for the immensely entertaining and interesting lessons in American History.
Thanks!
congrats on becoming a citizen!
Where you from sir?
Hope you enjoy being an American!
I’ve traveled quite a bit during my life. Lived all over the US and many places overseas. I’ve visited many historic places including churches, cathedrals, and temples of various kinds.
Gettysburg is the only place I’ve ever visited that felt holy.
Same. Deff got a vibe iv never felt before walking around that site.
I work two jobs 7 days a week 365 days a year. I HAVE to make it here one day. When i was young i remember my grandfather always coming here every year and telling me about it and the civil war. its a shame it wasnt until after he passed away i became totally immersed in the subject. Heres to you, old man. One day I will make it to Gettysburg, no doubt your favorite little corner of our beautiful country.
Superbly done sir! Love your enthusiasm and motivation to take us “you tubers” along for the tour. Sir, a PROFESSIONAL you are! Thank you!
driving w/Gary, awesome. hope to get there someday, preferably on anniversary
This is fantastic. The history is so sadly overlooked now and the GAR would appreciate your hard work!
Outstanding presentation! Many of us hold our historical guide experts to a Ed Bearss standard but truly, no one ever could rise to that standard. Still, our guide here was top shelf! I’ve engaged a couple of guides at Gettysburg over the years, and I found myself loathing that I was not fortunate enough to have drawn this man to take me through the three days at Gettysburg. Thank you for a sincerely epic tour that would inspire even the most uninterested, to fall pry to the addiction that is the Gettysburg National Battlefield. 👍🏻
Thanks!
So awesome to put this up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic as always - thanks Garry for sharing your knowlegde and enthusiasm. Enjoying every second from here in the UK.
This is an astoundingly good quality recounting of a significant part of our national history. Ranger Garry Adelman does a masterful job of taking you through the battlefield's most critical points roughly in the sequence that the events happened during the battle. His delivery is confident and enthusiastic - no "And, uh"s while he pauses to think. The man has command of his material. What is most interesting to see is the enthusiasm he still has after many, many recountings of what we see here. In my view, he is one of our great teachers about the Civil War particularly as it relates to the Battle of Gettysburg.
Finally, I had no earthly idea of how big a piece of geography contained this action. It is a physical representation of why holding the high ground in a battle is so vitally important.
I hope to one day visit Gettysburg to honor our fallen dead and personally shake the hand of Mr. Gary Adelman. Well done
We can't wait to get back!! This is awesome.🤗
Thank you for this. I was there earlier this year, the day after the tree blew down and trapped a tourist in the porta potty. I bought the app and booklet from the gift store but my phone would not load it. I'm putting this on the big screen before bedtime.
Thank you so much ,sure appreciate ur time .I hope to make it here one day ,and definitely will take ur advice for a guide 😊
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH..!!!
My name is Ruben, 51 years young and from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
I was always so intrigued by the battle of Gettysburg but could never knew where everything happened, so to say.
Today I saw this, your, video and followed it by Google earth.
Now I finally understand where everything took place.!
Thank you sooo much
Much love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Kind regards,
Ruben Beekmans
I love driving this battlefield and had hoped one day gary would do this. My birthday was recently and I'm going to go ahead and claim this as my gift.
I'm here watching it for a second time while I work and I got an email that my above comment was hearted. LOL!
great tour
In 1988 my brother and I went to Gettysburg and bought an Audio cassette tour tape. That was 100 times better .the narrator was like a teacher giving us a guided tour
An amazing experience to feel the awesome sense of waste of so many lives. Not American but still felt sad. Huge place!
Thank you for posting this. Makes me want to visit Gettysburg again.
Garry knows his stuff and loves his job! Well done.👍👍👍👍😁
"I can't even give this tour without water !"
Gary - you are the best !!
Believe it or not, I had this guy as my guide when I went to Gettysburg a few years back.
Cool! GA
Garry, I have been a fan of yours since the first Battlefield talk I saw you do at Devils Den in July 2001. I am a devoted Gettys-nerd and have made several trips to the Park, including the 150th and 155th anniversaries. I've bought your books. Because of guys like you and Tim Smith and others, I am a contributing member of The ABT. I've seen so many of your RUclips videos over the last several years. But this one is a masterpiece! Thank you so much for all you do to preserve and shine the spotlight on Civil War History and battlefields. Bravo!
Hello. I was only once on the battlefield of Gettysburg and I will remember this for ever. Thank You for this amazing video tour, my memories come to life. I'm from distance Poland but I have hope to visit Gettysburg once more. You all guys doing an awesome job!! Best regards.
🇺🇸🇵🇱 We remember Pulaski and Kosciusko. Be well.
@@jimreilly917 I have been to Fort Pulaski, which I presume was named after your countryman! Great fort!
@@matrixfan58 named for Count Casimir Pulaski, of Poland, who helped form, train and equip Continental US Cavalry troops in the Revolution. Then funded and fought alongside them. Poland has aided liberty for a very long time.
Hello Garry! Thank you for the energetic and fascinating descriptions of the Gettysburg Battlefields. My family and I visited Gettysburg. Your presentation increased our knowledge and enjoyment immensely. Unfortunately, there were no tour guides available. Your tour filled the gap. Thank you so much for your interest and enthusiasm in this piece of American history.
funny how sacred places can change down through the years...get neglected...or overly commercialized...the efforts to restore this place to its original state are commendable
I randomly clicked on this thinking “oh boy wonder what this guy is gonna be saying for 2 hours”…. I have since sat and watched every minute. I love this guy! He is so awesome and smart, so easy to listen to as well. Kind of like a story being told and we just sit back and enjoy
Thank you for the hard work, effort, and passion you have in your tour of all things Gettysburg. AMAZING 👏
Many thanks from England. Although I will never get to see the battlefield of Gettysburg in person I have visited the Waterloo battlefield on several occasions. It is tiny in size compared to Gettysburg. I walked from one end of the battlefield at Hougoumont to the other at Papelotte and it only took me an hour. It’s hard to imagine 150000 men and 25000 cavalry packed into such a small space.
the depiction of the Battle of Borodino in the russian version of "War and Peace" is similar...fighting going on all over the place on a vast scale...yet no place on the battlefield was safe from the cannonballs...units held in reserve often sustained 20 or 30 per cent casualties just sitting on the ground!....have to remember what happened to Meade's headquarters at Gettysburg.....
Garry you as much a national treasure as the historical sites the Trust is protecting. All I can offer you is sincere thanks and sincere thanks to the Trust and its partners.
Gary Adelman is a National Treasure!
I absolutely 💯 % love your enthusiasm about the Civil War, I love it!! Not the killing, but finding out the truth about the war, what I was taught in school was lies. Thank you, Thank you, it is so refreshing to hear how much you love explaining the Civil War, usually guides look bored to death. American Battlefield Trust should give you a huge raise! You are awesome!!!
We are traveling to Gettysburg this weekend for the Remembrance Day Parade! We have been here umpteen times. Even though it's a place of tragedy, it is, without a doubt, my happy place. A feeling of calm and peace surrounds me here, and I feel drawn to it. Thank you, Mr. Addleman, for your wonderful Gettysburg presentation.
I’m only 15 mins in. Just brilliant!!! This gentleman is absolutely amazing and wonderful!!! I pray one day I meet him and am able to share in his knowledge first hand.
Wow i was here a week ago, Gary you make the battle come alive! Fantastic explanation.
Well done Gary and team it was like being on the battlefield 😊
battlefields of that scope and size have individual stories everywhere....did a good job scoping out many of them....
Garry’s story telling is such a unique gift! He made 2 hours fly by. Thank you so much for doing this! Can’t wait to book a trip with a tour guide on my next trip from AZ to Gettysburg!
I WANT TO BUY THIS MAN TACOS!!! American of Mexican decent, US navy vet here and nothing makes me Happier than learning more about my great nation. Thank you so much!!! I’ve only gone to valley forge so I’m looking for that episode now!!!! So fascinating!!!
Top shelf guide. Thank you Sir. Amazing how well you did this.
This is awesome! Thank you!
I used to drive to PA from MI for my old job. They set me up in Gettysburg every time I went, which was often. PA became my second home, and seeing all the history was so fascinating! I never got tired of traveling there, there's so much to see! It's worth the travel time.
Beautiful country
used to make that run down to Carlisle...[big car show]....and a buddy of mine taught there....[war college]....used to make it down and nearly all the way back on one tank of gas in my geo metro....[Pittsburgh]........
This is amazing!!!. Just imagine if the Wright brothers would've been born 125 years earlier than they did and flown their first plane in 1803 and not 1903. How would we have captured these incredible events...
Gary. Thank you. I got shot in the head in Afghanistan and have not been able to explain my respect and honor for Gettysburg to my wife. Been there many times. Seen many ghosts too. My wife never understood Gettysburg. Thanks to you she now does. I give you all at least $50 a year sometimes more. Retired Army so I’m limited I’d funds. I hope to come to Gettysburg again and see the new place before I go. Be well friend.
If you haven't been on a tour with Garry, it's a must especially with Tim. The best tours I have been on.
This is great! Thanks for doing this!
Garry, I’d love to see you do a lesson or two about all the monuments….well, not ALL, obviously, but it would be interesting to know how they came about, who paid for them, when most of them were constructed, etc. With over 1,400 of them, there’s bound to be some interesting stories. Apparently, there was a degree of “competition” to erect a monument bigger than the other guys’ monument. Keep up the good work!
