I’ve never understood why the fight between the 24th Michigan and the 26th NC regiments aren't covered more on youtube and then he did in the last video, and now the 1st Minnesota…we’re getting all the hits!
Great job. Very informative and I had forgotten the story concerning Green on the other flank. Sure makes ya wonder why J. Chamberlain got all the glory that day
Two reasons, 1.) Green sadly didn't survive, and 2.) Chamberlain was a prolific writer with excellent prose and wrote about Gettysburg and his role in it a lot.
Because Josiah Chamberlain like Colonel Green did his duty that day that's why. That whole line was critical play his area was the most critical of the entire Union Army.
An interesting note, Al Sieber, chief of scouts during the Apache Wars served in Company B, of the1st Minnesota Volunteer Infantry Sieber was severely wounded on July 2, 1863 in the action on Cemetery Ridge
Engaging writing and narration. Gettysburg day 2 has always held the most interest for me. The Confederates both strategically and tactically lost the battle that day, squandering the gains made day 1 and forcing the meat grinder day 3 assault. Visiting the national park is always a sobering thrill for me, thank you for a well done exposition.
Always great to hear about the 1st MN! I was actually born where they were mustered out of, and I've lived most of my life where the 24th MI came from. I know it's a tenuous connection, but I'm proud to be from the same places as some of the biggest BA's on the field that battle!
Johnston and Clark's scouting at the area of Little Round Top was performed several hours prior to the signal station was in view due to the casting sunlight shadows. While they reported approximately some cavalry, they were elements of Buford's unit. They were replaced later by a brigade from the 5th Corp, Mead's old command. Warren was pesent seeing the danger was what brought this brigade on the hill. However during Longstreet's flank attack faced some 42,000 troops from several commands that were sent from various areas in order to hold Little Round Top. It was one hellva fight, some of the worst that the Army of Northern Virginia 1st Corp ever faced, but they did their duty and performed greatly.
@@marknewton6984 As screwed up as the Army call Northern Virginia was I'm not at all surprised that there were mess ups etcetera. I know several occasions during the battle General Lee did give contradictory orders. Men like Ewell took the easy way out rather than take their own initiative. That's what you can check your vagina Longstreet being envious he had done his job quite well. And no matter how you make categorize General Longstreet do remember this Lee was the one who ordered Pickett's charge. The Army of Northern Virginia was never the same because of it. Lee's problem was a case of hubris as much as anything else.
WELL DONE SIR Thank you for mentioning the 1st Minnesota and Greene’s actions on Culp’s Hill. Yes, there are many heroes and stories with Gettysburg, but these two have been long overlooked. Thanks for giving them their due
A most excellent presentation. I did notice one error though. While you were discussing the fight between the 25th alabama and the 20th maine you showed a picture of a union officer with a drawn sword confronting a group of confederates. That was not colonel chamberlain but an illustration of an action in the wheat field. Colonel Harrison Jeffords of the 4th Michigan was the officer, depicted attempting to retrieve the regiments battle flag which had been taken by confederates from the mortally wounded flag bearer. The painting shows the brave colonel about to be stabbed to death by a confederate. Such courage must always be recognized and remembered. The colonels sacrifice was not in vain, the 4th michigan succeeded in recivering their flag, covered with the colonels blood.
Great video, I learned a lot of things about that day. As a military member, I love hearing the personal stories and backgrounds. I found your comments about the possibility of misinformation given to Gen Lee quite poignant.
I once poked around the saddle between the round tops until I finally found a simple stone marker to company B of the 20th Maine. They were surprisingly far into the woods.
Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain spoke Greek, Latin, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Arabic, Hebrew and Syriac and was a professor at Bodwoin College along with Harriet Beecher Stowe's husband, who also was a professor. There is a Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain Museum in Brunswick, ME. You omitted these facts.
I know that this story has been told many times before, in so many ways. I like maps to getta grasp of the sitch instead of static photos and paintings. Still, I appreciate your efforts. Thank you all.
Thank you, another very interesting and well organized program. If I may, I found the end of the narrative on Chamberlain, a bit gratuitous. I am reminded that as a career naval officer of the United States, I had occasion to spend several tours at Naval Air Station Brunswick. I found I spent a great deal of time in the chamberlain home, which had become a museum. He is one of my favorites, and I felt that way, even before I learned how Grant had favored him to receive the surrender at Appomattox. During my time, the museum was staffed by a group of elderly ladies who apparently did not have a lot of visitors. When they found, a young naval officer so interested and their beloved colonel, they could not do enough for me, including inquiring as to whether I would like to touch his saddle, preserved forever, in a glass cabinet. you could almost feel the history there, feel his greatness.
Where the hell is day 3 of Gettysburg? The climactic event of the greatest battle ever fought on US soil and it's no where to be found! You'll get no support from me. Color me gone.
I’m a Brit and love hearing your wonderful tales.
I'm glad to hear someone finally mention the 1st Minnesota. They have been so often overlooked.
I’ve never understood why the fight between the 24th Michigan and the 26th NC regiments aren't covered more on youtube and then he did in the last video, and now the 1st Minnesota…we’re getting all the hits!
The 11th Alabama didn't overlook them.
Never overlooked, they are more famous than the 85th and 86th Illinois…the 1st was at the first bull run!! Much respect to all of those men
Not at the field, of battle
They are not
They are nicely represented at Gettysburg, go check out their monument if you ever get the chance.
The 3 episodes on Gettysburg are some of my favorites fron you and your team.
Always look forward to each new chapter.
Top notch. Quality content, as usual. Thank you!
Once again first class. Love each one.
When I was a pup Reggie Jackson was my hero. No as I enter my senior years, I find George Gordon Meade is my hero.
These stories are epic! Thanks for all work You have done !
Excellent production and presentation of the information - thank you.
So happy that you’re giving George Sears Greene his due!
He’s buried in Warwick, RI on a nondescript hill behind a VFW. I’ve been many times

God bless ! Finally we’re moving into the eastern theater!
He moves back and forth. If you look at the entire catalog he has he has covered the Eastern theater quite a bit.

This is beyond BRILLIANT Storytelling -- you deserve a magnificent BRAVO!!
Amazing work! Thank you, sir
amazing video! love your narration and your passion! Gen George Green is a forgotten hero, who fought at night!
Excellent work on this! Among the best!
I’d love more content more often. Great stuff.

Longstreet's countermarch was unnecessary and slow. He was late as usual. A good fighter but not always on time. I believe he was envious of Lee.

@rolandmiller5456 Longstreet gets too much of the blame at Gettysburg, and people with cockeyed opinions like yours are to blame.
Great job on explaining day 2 of the battle, especially well done on Culp's hill.
WELL DONE SIR

My ggg-grandfather was General JB Hood
Excellent!!!
Superb work again sir .... Educational and interesting😊
Great Storytelling. I've read many stories and watched videos about G-burg and this is one of the best.
Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain spoke Greek, Latin, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Arabic, Hebrew and Syriac and was a professor at Bodwoin College along with Harriet Beecher Stowe's husband, who also was a professor.
There is a Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain Museum in Brunswick, ME. You omitted these facts.
Wow, excellent video. Very engaging
Great episode!
My brother just fricking went to the computer and reported misinformation at 7:48!!! I dunno why he'd do that. Sorrry. I love your channel
Couldn’t click on this fast enough!
I know that this story has been told many times before, in so many ways. I like maps to getta grasp of the sitch instead of static photos and paintings. Still, I appreciate your efforts. Thank you all.
Looking forward to listening. I'm currently reading Glory Road, by Bruce Catton. That series is superb, as is your podcast.
Catton is cool.

I have no problem whatsoever with anything that Mr Kiger says about anyone in terms of the history of the Civil War.
My 3rd great grandfather served from 61-65 with the 48th Alabama.
Good grief. When will somebody make a video entitled “How Dan Sickles turned Lee’s grand strategy into a battle for a peach orchard and a wheatfield”?
Fabulous
Love the channel but I must ask: what are Calvarymen? Approx. 5:39
Would love if after the Gettysburg videos you did one on the war in the far west like texas Indian territory and New Mexico
That’s cool
What is the source for The reluctant Confederate soldier who did not fire on the younger Chamberlain? That's fascinating!
No maps???
I had a confederate ancestor fight in the wheatfield
“Never fight uphill me boys, never fight uphill.” - Robert E. Lee (according to Donald Trump)
