One of the few channels where I’ll click the like button before fully watching the video because I know that I won’t be disappointed. Appreciate what you all do. 👊🏻
It's the same for your channel, sir.
Well said. I feel the same way about your videos. I'm a big fan. Thank you. Keep up the great work.
Same for me JD. I do that with your videos too!
Same to you JD learn a LOT from your channel as well!! You have covered places that are very personal for me. Had 3 relatives in the Civil War two at Gettysburg as well as two in Normandy on D-Day in WWII. Thank you for all you do to educate us about history!!! 🇺🇸👍
My two favorite channels in one place!
Ex British infantryman here, thoroughly enjoying your knowledge and enthusiasm.
We agree. We visited the 150th in 2013 and it was PACKED there. Even Stephen Lang from the movie Gettysburg as George Pickett was there and we stood just a few feet from him. It was a great day and a wonderful visit. We drove all the way from Chattanooga, Tennessee.
@Tony's Civil War Museum® that’s awesome! We’ve been there I believe 3 times and still haven’t seen everything yet. We hope to go back as soon as possible.
i was there in 2013 in the reenactment and like in the real pickits charge after the charge it started to rain and it did when i was there after the pickits chage reanactment
My first trip to Gettysburg started a 61 year addiction to history. I appreciate your work and your knowledge.
My father took my mother here for honeymoon in mid 1950’s. That is dedication and understanding.
@@scottscottsdale7868 Mine went to Washington, DC for their honeymoon in 1940.
I just came in from walking the dog along the Delaware River ... looked down at my watch approaching 4pm, thought about what happened 159 years ago, looked SW towards Gettysburg ... then thought you guys would be on the field .... great series gang !!
I have walked that field. I thought that it was crazy that the men walked across it all open for that amount of time. That's a large field. It is just crazy!
And when they got to the Emmittsburg Road they had to dismantle a fence!
Say crazy one more time...

Thank you everyone. My family is from Pennsylvania especially my father (Titusville)he took us to Gettysburg in July 1-3 1963 never forgot it. I took my family July 1-3, 1988 my youngest was one month old at the time. In July 1-3, 2013 I drove back from California to attend the 150th with my daughter and hopefully Lord willing I will be back again in 2038. For me there is no place like the Military Park when I'm there I'm close to my father who was a great Civil War scholar to me as a boy and then passing that History on to my own children. I just want to say watching your live today has brought back those feelings from all those years ago ! Great Job!
Thanks for all the great videos that you have made about the Battle of Gettysburg,very educational.
Shalom everyone! 63 years old, read about Civil war History from a very early age, my Great great Grandfather was a Captain in the Union army, and am a distant cousin of Sam Watkins from the army of Tennessee, finally made it to where you and your great crew are standing….
I did not want to leave spending a week and still wanted to spend more time…
Thank you one and all for your great work! G_d Bless you!
Thank you guys for all the great videos! You don't disappoint!! Thanks for continuing to preserve, educate, and inspire by preserving our hallowed ground from the Rev. War, 1812, and of course the Civil War!! Gettysburg is my favorite battlefield! Looking forward to next year and the 160th!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great stuff!!! Gary, you are correct that one can spend one's entire life studying the breadth and depth of just this one battle!!!!
Kris and Garry...Can't thank you enough for the passion you put into your videos. I'm 71 years old and have been to Gettysburg four or five times. It is one of the few places I have actually felt the loss of so many souls standing at the bloody angle. My wife's second great grandfather died in Virginia with Stuart's 5th cavalry.
I’m in Colorado for vacation and barely have internet, but I been checking in all weekend for your videos! Thanks for keeping us in the loop
As many times as I've been there (and it's a lot since my father first took us there in the early 1960s) there is always more to hear about Pickett's Charge! Great work on 159!
I love visiting the Battlefields of Gettysburg...its my sanctuary and since I reside under 2hrs in Coal Region of PA, I make every effort to stop by and I don't leave until I visit Little Round Top. Great job, fellas, on taking us through Picketts Charge! Love it! 👏 Thank you!
I was already excited for my first trip to Gettysburg in a few weeks but this video has gotten me even more excited. Excellent content and thanks for sharing!
Wow, I love these videos, where I can visit this hallowed ground, though physically so far away.
I love Garry Adelman's enthusiasm. His passion for the history and events that occurred here inspires the same feelings in me.
Thanks Garry, Kris and everyone involved in making this incredible video. You guys are the true experts. Personally, I get choked up whenever I think about Alonzo Cushing. Thanks again.
Gary love your tempered enthusiasm. Another excellent job to you and the team! Keep them coming
Great work this year.
Thanks to all of you!
Bravo.
Thank you for your time, your passion for history, and for all of your awesome videos. Too few people care enough about those that came before us. In my humble opinion it is still important in spite of differing opinions, beliefs, and backgrounds.
I have walked part of that field near dark, by myself...wanted 'something' to happen...Those men in grey, making that charge, had an amount of courage that the vast majority of us, will never possess...Great admiration for them...I have read that the Confederate bombardment was the loudest, man made, sound ever produced prior to the dropping of the Atomic Bomb in WW II...Input from Rhode Island...
Outstanding ladies and gentlemen of the American Battlefield Trust. I know this comment is late but I thank you for bringing this engagement of Pickets charge to life in detail ,as well as, all the battles y'all have done throughout the entire American Civil War eastern and western theaters of the war. My family will continue to support y'alls. My great, great grandfather fought in this struggle in the Western theater with the Fourth Michigan Cavalry. Again you bring it to life as if you were there. Keep on keep on, to keep it alive.
Best regards, from a United States Army Veteran.
I lived in PA for 23 years and never got to Gettysburg. So This year I'll be driving 900 miles to finally see the battlefield!
Awesome!
This is superb. The whole series of Gettysburg videos has been excellent.
As always thank you to all those at American Battlefield Trust for keeping American Civil War history alive for all generations to learn and see!
When I grow up I want to be Garry!! Thanks so much for all you do. I live in Boise Idaho and can only afford 1 trip a year to Gettysburg and that is for rememberace day. Please keep it going! I raised a couple hundred bucks for tge trust on my birthday via Facebook and hope you got it!!
I’ve always loved WW1 & 2 history, a couple months ago I caught Garry on a couple videos and got hooked bad! A whole new battle field addiction is now upon me thanks to your incredible knowledge! Seriously… not everyone is an expert, just want you to know that your work is so wonderful that it can easily grab newbies and dedicate them to your awesome cause.
The final-lee!!! Yes, we've been waiting for it!!! Thanks so much for making this 159th so wonderful, we all appreciate you! Gary made a great point about Hunt, telling Hancock that he could possibly ward off a battle involving infantry by bombarding them with artillary... Really?!! Sooooo, I may be with Gary, Hunt gets a middling 5-6...
Both of my grandmothers grandfathers were at Gettysburg. One in B Company, 69th Pennsylvania and the other in B Company 114th Pennsylvania (he was taken prisoner on July 2nd). Also, a great-great uncle was a Captain in C Company, 68th Pennsylvania (he was later KIA at Petersburg VA on April 2, 1865). I love watching your videos on RUclips, you do such a great job.
fantastic weather. great to be transported from a wet Lancashire summer to the glorious Gettysburg battlefield. Truly great experience, thank you.
As a Boyscout in the 80s, we participated in a hiking tour of the battlefield. As part of that, we camped at Seminary Ridge, awoke in the morning, broke camp, then hiked up to the Angle. What an eye opening experience that was, particularly when we hit the road and had to get past that fencing. 😳
Great video, I am sorry I missed the live stream of it. Thank you so much for all the excellent videos this year!
Thanks for sharing! I can see myself, wife and kid walking towards my truck. Nice timing!
So glad to see the younger generation take over this historic event and many others from the older pros with such interest, enthusiasm and knowledge...I was afraid it would be left in only books...Thank You so much.
Excellent! You guys and gals are getting better w every video. Thanks for great work!
I really enjoyed how Chris orienting the video in the beginning. It really gives a good perspective of where you are shooting at. Great job.
Your presentations are the next best thing to actually walking the Gettysburg Battlefield. Please continue these and I'm already looking forward to your 160th anniversary presentations!
These videos are awesome. I love these longer ones where you are actually taken along a route. Hope to see more. Thank you.
Excellent work Garry, Kris, videographer Sarah and everyone else involved.
You guys make 4th of July holiday the Gettysburg holiday! Love it!!
Awesome!! You guys do amazing videos. Love Sara and it’s nice to see women into the Civil War History. Keep up the good work Sara you rock.👍😁👍😁
After watching this I can’t wait to visit the battlefield again and see what I’ve been missing, my thanks to all of you for a great production!!

This was the best part of my fourth weekend wonderful and most importantly insightful video. Thank you all so very much for what you do every day!!!
Thank you so much for doing this for us. I appreciate your commitment to teaching us all.
A great three day presentation as always. I love watching every year and I will certainly be watching for the 160th anniversaries of Second Bull Run and Antietam this year and, of course, for the 160th anniversary of Gettysburg next year. Who knows, maybe I’ll even visit the battlefield in person next year and run into you guys. Don’t worry, I won’t get into the screenshot...lol. Thank you so much and a Happy 4th of July to you all!
Wow….that’s all I can say. You guys did an absolutely amazing job. Now I’m going to back to day one and watch this series again. There is so much information to digest! I loved every single minute of this, I honestly did. Thank You so much, you have gained a new member to the American Battlefield Trust. 👍
Woo hoo!
Next year will be crazy as the 160th anniversary. Love what you guys do. Thank you.
I remember when I went to Gettysburg I couldn't believe how low the wall is. You get a good view of the angle wall behind Gary when he's speaking at the end.
Thank you guys for your time, knowledge and passion for bringing the history alive with these videos and talking about what happened where it happened.
Thanks for the education! Kris and Garry are great at there jobs!
Best hour I spent over the 4th weekend. Really interesting to hear these stories being told on the battle site. Great job guys!
You guys are absolutely amazing and your knowledge of the Civil War and your passion for sharing that knowledge are second to none…..I could watch and listen all day, every day because I’ve learned so much from you guys.
Big hello from Northern Ireland!
Also thank you guys for talking about Stannards Vermonters at Pickett's charge! It is not talked about a lot! The boys from the Green mountain state helped win the battle of Gettysburg! I am proud to have two relatives in VT regiments at Gettysburg as well as reenact Vermont soldiers! Thanks again for the great videos looking forward to the 160th next year! Gary I hope to meet you at some point! Hope you all have a great 4th of July 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍🦅🦅👍😃
Wow...I learn so much watching your videos. We plan our first visit to Gettysburg in September, just wanted to give you guys a thumbs up on the great informative work you've done. This has really got me so excited about our visit. Thanks again.... Mitch. Tennessee
Thank you for your enthusiasm, and knowledge. Excellent presentation. Yes Meade won and is finally getting the well deserved credit for doing so. Tragic though is the loss of life of all those men on both sides. A civil war is the most cruel of conflicts.
Thank you for guiding us through that fateful July 3rd attack. My family and I crossed that incredibly wide field as part of “Armistead’s Brigade” with NPS Ranger Bill Hewitt during the 150th Anniversary. It was hot, the ground uneven with long grass, and we climbed over two fences while I repeatedly reassured my 10 year daughter that “we’re almost there”. After reaching The Angle, we all gathered together as Americans and experienced an incredible rendering of echo taps as we honored the sacrifice of those who fought and sacrificed there.
Well done. Many thanks. Your informative tours clearly demonstrate how much greater understanding of battles is gained by actually being on the ground and considering terrain features.
My great great grandfather was in the 14th Tennessee and participated in Pickett’s Charge. He was wounded and captured during the battle.
When I attended Marine Corps Command a Staff College we did a battlefield study at Gettysburg. We walked the terrain, in silence, at Pickett's charge. It was stunning for all of us. What those men did was heroic, insane, tragic, horrifying...... Most of us had combat experience. Nothing in our lives could compare.
Gettysburg has always been a special place for me, came here as a kid with my parents, then with our own kids, and with the boys in our Scout troop. So glad to see so many visitors!
Wish every day was anniversary day. You've done it again guys, great job!
Outstanding presentation! Thank you
19 year veteran history teacher here. Love the enthusiasm. I want to work for y'all :)
Watching from New Mexico...fascinating presentation...appreciate every moment ..step by step walk thru the actions of Gettysburg.
Outstanding! Thanks so much.
Thanks for all the great information!!!
Superb guys-thank you!
Thank you all for making history make sense. I think that the narrative that has changed for me is that Lee was not 'perfection' on horseback. I aim to visit Gettysburg 160.
Great job guys! Cleveland, Alabama here! The Heart of Dixie!
Love the videos. Learn alot from your videos.
Been to Gettysburg a few times. Still haven't seen everything.😅
Another really outstanding presentation by Mr. Adelman and Mr. White. This is the best analysis of the topography of the actual advance route I have seen. Kris White’s explanation of the events involved here was outstanding. Garry Adelman as always, grabs your attention at the outset and never lets go. A superb presentation of this assault.
Great video I enjoyed very much.i hope to visit Gettysburg one day.those we're some very brave man to walk across that field under all of that fire.
I discovered this 2 months too late but I thoroughly enjoyed your knowledge and enthusiasm. We just got back from our 2nd trip to Gettysburg.
Be on the lookout for our Antietam coverage next weekend!
All those soldiers on both sides that flight bravely for what they believed in... keep their memory alive
Thank You All for Educating in an engaging and energetic manner. Knowledge is Power and Our History should not be lost or diluted. May God Bless America
I salute the bravery and heroism of Alonzo Cushing, who was officially honored just a few years ago.
Wonderful video guys!!! Thanks for the hard work!!
Super awesome. You guys are great!!! Please keep up the phenominal work .
Excellent, thank you. I was there for the 150th but wasn't as informed as I am now due to your continued informative videos. My goal is to get back some day soon. Keep up the great work you all are doing.
Just watched this video. Bravo. Your depth of knowledge about this battle is amazing. Looking forward to watching more of your other videos.
I really enjoyed this video as well as the many others you posted. I've walked the sane fields, but have learned so much more with your videos
Gary Adelman doud does tim Smith and all the great gettysburgh goats . I watch all gettysburgh anniversaries. Am sorry I missed some this year but will catch up. Love the history and love all you guys. Wyatt doyle . Ontario canada. Happy 4th of July my friends. Once again I'm a civil war 🤓
thanks, kristopher! I was there today and I wanted to meet for the 3:00 NPS Pickett's Charge talk, but got sidetracked. I really regretted seeing it until I watched your video
I love to see so many people there! No complaints here. That’s awesome!!
Awesome. I just watched the whole thing and now I don’t feel as bad about not getting out to visit this year!
I really enjoyed this tour, especially the artillery discussion!
Gary, Kris, and Sarah. This was FANTASTIC.
Great video. Loved the rebel yell. Don't let them tell you otherwise lol. Keep up the good work gentlemen
What we have all been waiting for. 😊
Thank you very much for sharing all your knowledge.
Something that is left out of the discussions on artillery is the inconsistent quality of the Confederate black powder. I saw a presentation on C-span3 about Civil War black powder in which the speaker talked about how the CSA had a hard time getting nitrates. This inconsistency affected both a projectiles range and the explosive power of shot and shell.
This might be the best video I’ve ever seen
“Enthusiasm is contagious” sums up this team to me! GREAT job…
GREAT SHOW AGAIN, THANK YOU ALL!
So much knowledge, awesome video
My wife and I first visit to Gettsburg was in 1970.She was pregnant with our first child. The only picture I have is at the high water mark.. Years later we took the same picture with our full grown son. Thank You for your informational videos.
Thank you for making history come alive.
Another fantastic and educational event! Thank you!!!
I've toured Gettysburg 3 times and I want to go back now more than ever. This clip has inspired me. Next time I go Im going to walk Pickett's charge. And I love getting a Burger and a beer at the Dobbin house afterwards.
