This piece is part of our coverage of the 159th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. You can find all of the videos here: • 159th Anniversary of G...
The American Battlefield Trust preserves America’s hallowed battlegrounds and educates the public about what happened there and why it matters. We permanently protect these battlefields for future generations as a lasting and tangible memorial to the brave soldiers who fought in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Civil War.
I had my ration of biscuits and bacon for breakfast. Let's go!
SAVE OUR BATTLEFIELDS AMERICA 🇺🇸
Gettysburg 159!!!! I got my popcorn, now educate me!
Thankyou Battlefield Trust for all that you do
I had six ancestors fight in this battle. And I can map out the relative location to the unit that they were in. Gettysburg is an incredible place visit and learn about. Happy anniversary
That is terrific that you know your ancestors like that. I haven't been able to find out my past my great great grandparents. All were born after the Civil War. So I need to go further back but haven't has much luck.
That is great, I had two, plus their brother and son who fought. One was killed, and another wounded and later captured.
There is Nothing happy about a Gettysburg anniversary... 53,000 American died there, in three day, that should have been back home, in their respective states, watching their corn grow on their farms.
In the USA Constitutional REPUBLIC. When the Constitution REQUIRES 100% of the States Representatives participation....
How was Abraham Lincoln making Constitutional Law, without the Southern States Representatives NOT in the Congress? Constitution REQUIRES a "Concensus" between Majority and Minority with 63% same VOTE with all 100% of the States Representatives participating. Also called "2/3 rds VOTE!"
We need a movie about John Burns at the battle. I vote Clint Eastwood for the role! Thanks for the stream, crew! Wish I could be there at Gettysburg today.
Clint Eastwood is 92 - a little too old to play Mr. Burns.
@@rogerhoke9725 indeed. There was a time he’d a been perfect. He’s still got a lot fire for his age.
Christian Bale could pull it off.
I've only been to Gettysburg once (in '93). But now that I am "retired" I think it's time for a another "tour". Member of ABT for 15 years.
I spent yesterday with a Battlefield Guide, horseback riding on the same paths that the Union and Confederate soldiers fought! I love Gettysburg ~ thank you, ABT ~ fan for life. 🐴

Thank you guys. I look forward to these videos every year
My family and I were in Gettysburg 25 years ago today and attended the burial of the unknown soldier who's bones were discovered in the railroad cut. The last surviving Civil War widows were the VIPs. It was surreal watching almost the exact same scene people saw when Lincoln rode down the street in Nov 1863.
My battle ancestors were in the 4th, 15th, and 24th Georgia at Gettysburg. The other ancestors were being given up at the same time in Vicksburg during the same time.
I absolutely love stuff like this!!! Thank you for sharing
Wonderful show, fellas! I'm in the middle of California and have never had the opportunity to visit Gettysburg, but THANK YOU!!!!! Well, Well done & can't wait for the next episodes.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
You should make it your mission to get there someday. Truly hallowed ground. I go every year and there's nothing like standing on that ground.
Hope you can get there someday. ✌️
All of the presenters in these video's, are so well informed, well done chaps. Appreciated very much.
Regards, from Perth, Australia. 🇦🇺
Early in the battle and you're all doing another stellar job! I watched the past few years and enjoy Gettysburg's presentations by far the most. I had an Irish ancestor, Timothy Deacy from Ohio in the battle.
You are all so informative and your energy is contagious. Thank you so much for these wonderful posts
I visited Gettysburg this past Memorial Day weekend. It was an extraordinary experience. The size of the battlefields is unimaginable. It took me 63 years to get there and I'm glad I did!
Love this!!....I just extended my membership in the ABT for another year....really appreciate what you do to teach about and save our history.
Yay! Kris is back! I think Garry and Kris make a great team! I love these stories! Thank you for sharing them! I like your beard Garry!
Excellent these videos you are making to commemorate the 159th anniversary of the start of the Battle of Gettysburg. I would love to be there. Congratulations. I'm Nelson from south of Brasil.
Look forward to these videos every year, I love history and know a lot but seem like I learn something new each time that I watch these videos. Hope to get up to Gettysburg one day and get to walk the battlefields.
Great video! My great grandfather fought in the Civil War in I think most of the major battles and some not so major. I love watching your videos and some day hope to go find the monuments that are there for the 59th NY infantry. You have outstanding videos I love to watch.
ONLY great grandfather? Sheesh, dear one, you must be at least in your 80's or your great grandfather married a very young woman! I'm nearly 60 this year and my father was a WWII vet, and his father was born in 1898, and his father (my great grandfather) would have been born around the time of the Civil War---too young to have been recruited unless he married a much younger woman. Yours would be an interesting story to hear!
Great job, wishing I was there in person , but you all knocked it out of the Park! Next best thing
North Carolina resident tuned in and watching. Bentonville Battlefield is 10 miles from my home and I visit it several times a month. I was in Gettysburg in April for Spring Break and it snowed as we left and headed to Antietam.
Thank you. I recently visited Gettysburg in May 2022. Great place to visit and learn. Gary is the reason that I joined the American Battlefield Trust. Very important to preserve these hallowed areas.
Won't miss one, Garry, thanks to you all. From your home state, the Land if Lincoln. Your faithful follower, Greg A.
Love the beard. Love this Trust. Making plans to visit Gettysburg soon with my pup... as soon as it cools down this fall!
October is a really nice time to go. A lot of the rangers are out in the field doing research. I ran into Matt Atkinson one year on Little Round Top. Just Matt and me talking about Gettysburg. It was great. 🤣
Living the other side of the pond but having a massive interest in the ACW these videos bring everything into perspective. Thank you so much.
Another great video and with a cameo by Eric the production from Addressing Gettysburg...
Love the program!! Gettysburg.
Garry! Kris! Sarah!
Nice start. Well done.
Ty.
I live less than two hours from Gettysburg and have been there many times. I have to thank Gary and his co-workers though for the tremendous coverage of the western theater during his road trips of the last two years. My Civil War ancestor was Kentucky born and he fought with General Thomas and the Army of the Cumberland. I absolutely have to get myself out there
and walk the battlefields at Chicamauga and Stones River. There’s no substitute for walking the ground where your ancestor fought.
I will be there shortly!!
Looks like a great day, Bob from Casper Wyoming!
Great job Gary. I truly love your work. Just returned from Gettysburg last month. You inspired me to visit this amazing place.
From Alabama...Wonderful job folks!
Been on my to do list. I need to get up there.
By now, you probably don't expect anything from me but very high praise for your videos. But at the risk of coming off as a total sycophant, I have to tell you that your approach to this year's Gettysburg videos is nothing short of brilliant. Your emphasis on the participants and the STORIES of their struggle is exactly the approach needed to lead more people -- and most particularly, more diverse people -- toward a deeper appreciation of American history.
July 1st means only one thing - American Battlefield Trust live at Gettysburg! Thanks for all you do to help us continuing to learn.
Howdy from San Antonio! Great job y’all.
I can't wait to revisit. I was one of the last guests to stay at the old Howard Johnson motel behind the Appalachian Ale House and Gen. Lee's HQ. Good times.
A few days ago, we stood at Hazel Grove in the Chancellorsville NMP, where Gen. Lee conferred with Gen. James Archer on 3 May 1863. At that time. Lee ordered Archer to attack and seize the Federal artillery position at Fairview. Of course, two months later, Federal troops captured Archer on the first day of the battle at Gettysburg.
'Grey Eagle' was the name of Gen. Buford's horse.
I really do love the enthusiasm in the delivery of the history that you guys impart, it is a joy to watch... thank you
Exciting
Thank you! I really appreciate all these videos! Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
I've been watching your Gettysburg videos for the past several months. Excited to see this year's live!
Amazing information as always guys and hello form Rhode Island.
Shout out to the 19th Indiana! TYFYS!
It’s been about 26-27 years since I got the chance to visit Gettysburg with my wife. I had read the book ‘The Killer Angels’ before I left and so it was awesome to know the area ahead of time.
I ❤🤍💙 American History so much and Red, White and Blue!!!!! My Dream Country.😊😇🥰😍🤗
This is fantastic! Thanks so much.
Two veterans from the 143rd Pa. Carved their initials and date on the south side of the McPherson barn on Sept. 12, 1889. This was a day after the dedication of the 143rd’s monument . Pretty cool Artifact to see .
Garry "The Beard" Adelman. Love it!
I’m on my way from shippensburg! Meet up today?
Thank you!
Great info, Kris!
Brilliant.
Garry is the best !
Love the beard Gary!!
I wish there was a way to relate directions, N, E, S, W, to stay oriented.
I use the angle of the sun but still get disoriented.
Just found out my 4th great grandfather, John Dissinger was a 1st Lieutenant in the 142 PA Volunteer army here at Gettysburg
The beard looks great, Garry.
Beautiful day out there! Been there for a number of anniversaries while I lived in VA, now out in Michigan and it's a little harder to just jump in the car and go...no thanks to Biden's economy, either. Missing it out there, but joining you from home. 24:17 John Burns is not just some random grumpy civilian as Sarah Bierle suggests. She fails to point out an important motivating factor for John Burns' taking up arms, and that is he is a veteran of the War of 1812. Not being a veteran herself, I can understand her failure to appreciate that fact. As a Marine Corps veteran, I can attest that patriotic fighting spirit never leaves you, and I first joined in 1986 and would take up arms today if necessary. I have an interesting story about the John Burns monument. When I was out there during the 153rd anniversary of the battle with my kids in 2016, we were standing at the John Burns monument when we smelled the distinct smell of gunpowder. I had heard no firearms or fireworks go off anywhere in the vicinity, and as a person who served as an artillery officer and spent plenty of time around live weapons shoots and fireworks, the smell was pretty distinct and recognizable. Perhaps someone had lit off a sparkler somewhere nearby, but I often wondered if it wasn't a little message from Burns himself!
That red shirt is EPIC, so is this video.
This is so exciting, and thank you all for creating all these wonderful videos/History!!! Civil War History, specifically Gettysburg is my favorite American History... Wow, you're making my entire 4th of July weekend! Gary's a favorite with everyone, I think...
Kris White does a nice job behind the camera.
On the first day of the battle, 159 years ago my great great grandfather, Amos Prowant and two great great uncles, Henry Prowant and Elias Weidensal all in Company D, 150th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry engaged Confederate forces, under the command of Genera Harryl Heth. Second Leutenant Elias Weidensal was killed and Private Amos Prowant was captured while his unit retreated through the town of Gettysburg. Amos would be paroled in December 1863. Both Amos and Henry survived the war
Along with other units, including Gen. Buford's cavalry, Confederate forces were delayed long enough for The Army of the Potomic to concentrate on Cemetary ridge, a strong defensive position southeast of the town of Gettysburg. Two days later, after an attack of the Union center by ten to twelve thousand men, The Confederate Army was repulsed, culminating in a decisive Confederate defeat. The Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, commanded by Gen. Robert E. Lee would never again be able to take the offensive and surrended to Gen. U.S. Grant at Appomattox, Virginia on April 9, 1865.
Well done !
American living in Thailand 🇹🇭

Hello welcome
Are all those wooden fences from the that period?

Am I the only one who was a little nervous watching a somewhat distracted Garry cross the street?
🤣
Kris doesn't say, "yinz" quite enough. Pittsburgh......idk.

What is up with the horrible video quality?
Started the Premiere before the HD version processed I guess. Hopefully it is better later.
@@AmericanBattlefieldTrust "Horrible" is a bit of an overstatement. Yes, it was slightly off but in the end, it's about the amazing content and not if its in 4k or not.
Yes, to the beard! Now you look like you belong on the field on July 1!
Gary, Day One: See if we can get up to 500. Share this, if you will.
Me, watching on Day Two: 13.2k views, with 989 likes.
If I don't get my trust videos fix all weekend there will be The Devil to Pay!
General Lee was a good confederate leader...
But Gen. Stonewall Jackson was the reason for the invasion of the north that led to the battle of Gettysburg...
Lee followed Jackson's plan to invade the north by using general Jackson's previous commissioned maps...
But Lee did not follow Jackson's battle plans...
That led to the South's terrible defeat there.
But the real reason for the defeat of Lee?
Was General Lee allowing his rebel cavalry leader general Jeb Stuart to go off on his own...
Instead of being on his flanks & observing the enemy army's movements.
General Meade and the Army of the Potomac would probably say they had a little something to do with defeating Lee at Gettysburg. Lee, in fact, admitted as much when he surrendered at Appomattox and spoke with Meade.
This is very interesting/Interesante! oh my, a great grandfather was killed in the 149th PA VOLinf, July 1st `1863? IRON BRIGADE IRON BRIGADE FORWARD!!!!! HURRAH! pushes across and the Ithe First corps faces the iii of ApHILL, ANVA, then comes the AOP First corps division Doubleday robinson's, the BUCKTAIL PA BRIGADES 142, 143,144,th PA VOL INF 13 the pa reserves?
Ha!! John Burns pays the price for not listening to his wife!!! In modern times, she would refuse to drive him to the Emergency Room and sit in the lobby for hours awaiting treatment!!! 😆
John Burns was wounded 3 times. He blamed Jenny Wade. Probably. 🤣
RUclips is good, ye ye ye . . .
Everyone see this type of history is ten times better than seen tik tok girl dancing. Waste of time. I love history of soldier.
I can't listen to this hyper presentation. 😑
Do us all a Favor and don't.
Thank you. I recently visited Gettysburg in May 2022. Great place to visit and learn. Gary is the reason that I joined the American Battlefield Trust. Very important to preserve these hallowed areas.
This is fantastic! Thank you!
