Epic Civil War Reenactment [Cavalry] -- Gettysburg 2011

- A unit of Union cavalry must ward off Confederate horsemen while the main army is fighting elsewhere. Filmed at the annual Battle of Gettysburg reenactment in Gettysburg, PA. All musical credit to Immediate Music.
This is my footage taken on July 3, 2011 of the recreation of the cavalry action in Fairfield at the 148th anniversary Gettysburg reenactment. I cut the audio due to a chatty crowd and a narrator on loud speakers, but I hope the music will suffice.
Those historians among you will note that the Confederates won the actual Battle of Fairfield while the video suggests they lost. This is on no part of the reenactors, but merely a result of my video editing. If it comforts you, consider this a general cavalry engagement rather than the specific clash at Fairfield.

This reenactment was done with blank rounds, which means the shells had gunpowder but no projectile. If you are interested in reenacting, just keyword it and look for a unit near you.
I'm in the process of training my horse for this... I'm so excited to be getting into this! :) Great video!
Have you ever gotten into this

Love this! My great great great grandfather was in the 18th Virginia cavalry.
lapislazuli CSA or Union
@@trebrinson161 If it was Virginia, it was probably the CSA
Great Video!!! Nathan Lee Wood,Captain; CSA
Missouri Cavalry
That was nicely done - I feel like I was in an epic film!
LOL! look at the guy a 1:03 just having a smoke during battle.
Smoking should be banned in every re-enactment! (So the libturds say).
There I am at 0:21 with the signal trumpet in hand, preparing to sound the Forward.
usdragoons isnt it a bugle
@@icetea27 the mounted services were issued a signal horn in trumpet configuration, ie; cylindrical tubing rather than conical tubing. Both still valveless.
that one part when nobody dies...
You risking of falling off the horse and getting the possible chance of getting trampled?
😂😂😂
Sometimes I want to offer a thousand dollars to the first person who can post a video of reenactment footage without shitting music all over it.
Salguine I'd rather not hear the audience chatter.
Imagine if the creator posted a patreon link here lol
1st Maine - the Dragoons were very happy you joined us! And thank you to the film editor for making this look so good. Toujours Pret!
Sweet
I hope that offer is valid, cuz here you go: ruclips.net/video/MsYWse1ZCLw/видео.html.
BTW, had you read the info box, you would know why I "shit" music all over this. Quote: "I cut the audio due to a chatty crowd and a narrator on loud speakers." If that's what you'd rather listen to, then there are plenty of other uploads on RUclips, but I think it kinda kills the emotional impact. When I can, I don't use music, but music is often the only thing that makes these videos possible.
@1stMaineCavalry Extremely epic! Someday when my gelding is a little more level headed I'd love to get out there and try this! Are you actually a Mainer?
I just think it would be ultra cool to charge towards an opposing army on a horse with a sword in your hand (as long as you knew you wouldn't actually be getting killed.)
Hey, just wanted to say Great job on the video! me and my boyfriend were there, and hes actually the red-head in your thumbnail picture for the video riding the sorrel and he loves this video! He told me to say awesome job! and keep up the great work :) Hope to see films for the 150th!
Jennifer Sauter is that his horse?
Forming infantry squares is the best option for the Union Army when facing a charging Confederate cavalry in the Battle of Gettysburg.
There is a historical record of a Union infantry regiment from Indiana that formed squares against a charging Confederate cavalry from Texas in the American Civil War, it's known as the Battle of Rowlett's Station. Kindly log on to this link www.quora.com/Military-Strategy-Are-there-any-instances-where-infantry-formed-a-square-against-a-cavalry-attack-in-the-American-Civil-War and read and see for yourself.
when I was at the top of Little Round Top, towards the woods (actually inside) I heard a horse neighing. There were no reenactments that day.
This would be so fun.
great id please post more
a really great video, im from peru and i love te civil war, my best from all of you
I love this, If your able to, Make a video on Lewisburg, WV on May 20-22! It is a great event, Im the drummer boy for the federals
Freakin love this video! Don't ya just love cavalry? That's what I'm trainin my mare to do:)
I agree with mathew, the only thing that sucks about mounted cavalry engagements is very few people know how to take hits off a horse
You would be asking us to increase the risk of injury. We are not stunt men and women.........just very capable riders doing stuff other horse people would not believe.
@douglasmowrey2362 as long as fhe horse is trained to ground tie its really not hard or even an injury risk for anyone who can mount and dismount without a stool, but I understand the fear. I do not expect it from anyone but I do it when I can to add some sense of realism to an engagement.
What did you use to film this? Where did you set up? I'm going to Gettysburg for the 150th anniversary and plan to see some of the renactments. I'd love to get video/photos this close up.
so cool video !!
@kit40 A New Englander - 1st Maine (today) has members from Maine to Virginia - I'm in Maryland
'Here, boys, here are those fools coming at us again with their sabres. Give it to them!'
Loved it!
Great vid ,thx
But i do very much like that you can see the dismounted men right there with the mounted at the bga 150 gettysburg they put us over on another section of field where no one could see us.
Can I use this footage in a video I am making? I will give all credit to you and message you the link when I upload it!:)
Nice
Happens the first monument depicting a negro soldier is the Confederate monument at Arlington erected in 1913.
ok but if you die do you just fall off your horse or what
Watch the way you throw around the word farbi. I was in that video. I'm in that Federal Unit. I assure you that event was hardly farbed.
no one is dragged for miles on the grassfields because his foot is still stuck in stearups after receiving a mortal blow by a sabre?
Hi to The True King of Norway!
I'm John Carey, a primary teacher teaching in Ireland. I am working on an educational resource for History in the classroom and was wondering if I could use your Civil War cavalry charge to link in with one of our local heroes, Thomas Francis Meagher who was commanding general of the "Fighting 69th" NY Regiment. He became first governor of Montana and is depicted outside their state capital building on his horse, urging on his men. Here in the city of Waterford, we recently erected a similar statue of him astride his horse, sword in hand. Incidentally, whilst Governor of Montana he died in mysterious circumstances, having been pushed or fallen overboard on a Mississippi riverboat. Many thanks if you can give me permission! This is an educational, not for profit resource to support teachers in the classroom. All the very best, John Carey, Waterford City, Ireland
I liked the part where I couldn't tell what the fuck is going on
@carrot1021 Probably because it looks cool.
Why are cavalry charging cavalry?
Becuz they are a charging charging cavalry. Got it?
@KOartist4reaL lmao nice
If I was a reenactment I would just destroy all of the armies
cavalry is my least favorite but it is epic
@KOartist4reaL wat
\
@KOartist4reaL There's a pile of reasons it isn't "accurate" but your isn't one of them.
It actually IS based on real information. Why don't you try going to the National Archives and find me examples of black Confederate soldiers. Or try the NPS Soldiers & Sailors database.
The burden of proof for such a statement relies on the one making it. If I went around saying that 10,000 Chinese troops fought for our independence under George Washington, I'd kinda have to back that up, don't you think?
And yes there we're black confederate soldiers. I can assure you. Check google images
There were asbolutely zero black Confederate troops at Gettysburg.
There were some black militias raised in Louisiana at the start of the war, but were rejected by Confederacy.
Lee even considered using black troops at the end of the war, but was turned down.
The truth is that there were pretty much zero black confederate troops. You are deliberately lying or just misinformed by people trying to make the South look better.
Show me proof from National Archives if you think you are right.
You are the regular libturd inventing "facts". Go back to your mom's basement.
There were no black soldiers that fought at Gettysburg. Many served in support roles, such as cooks, but the CSA never allowed regular black troops. It's a fact.
Your "fact" is BS.
