My great grandfather was with the NY60th.
Imagine what he saw... such a long, distinguished service history for the 60th.
These guys can walk up to any random monument and tell us literally everything about the unit it represents. AMAZING
These videos are wonderful. I visited Gettysburg two years ago for the first time in 20+ years and hope the next time I go I can use these videos for some ideas of what to explore. I'm especially interested in the action at Culp's Hill. This video put together so much I could not see when I visited.
The work on Culp's Hill by NPS and the Gettysburg Foundation has been truly extraordinary. My Civil War ancestor fought there, and though I've been on Culp's Hill many times, I never really understood that part of the battle until I went last summer. The improved lines of sight make it much more clear. I've always wished that Culp's Hill could be restored to something more like its 1863 appearance, and now it's finally happened. God bless that anonymous donor, whoever he or she is!
My great great grandpa fought there, too. He was in the 6th Alabama. According to his war record on Fold3, he received "g s wound to the head" and ended up in "hands of the enemy".
Oh, the irony at 21:35 ... Jones Brigade attacking the steepest part of Culp's Hill and needing scaling ladders ...
It was at Culp's Hill on July 2 that Thomas Henry Doss, Jones Brigade, Virginia 42nd, was killed. He was the great-grandfather of Desmond Doss, who 82 years later would scale Okinawa's Hacksaw Ridge to rescue scores of wounded Americans ...
Just finished this hike. Just like Hoofland's Bitters, this adventure was good for my "depression of Spirit." Thanks for all the hard work creating these video journeys.
😀
The park service keeps clearing wooded areas, what are they doing with the wood? I think it would be a good idea to sell some of it for crafters or make souveniers out of some of it. put the money back into the park.
Burn it. It's woods. Reeeeee
Interesting point, but I doubt it'll be sold to wood crafters
I've always had trouble understanding the Culp's Hill conflict due to the dense vegetation preventing a clear view of the terrain. Thanks to the anonymous donor who is making the clearing project possible.
Thanks for the shoutout for Co. K, 145th NY....Two of my ancestors were on that skirmish line.
Thanks so much for educating us on some of the more obscure parts of the field.
Outstanding work. Really getting a visual of the battlefield with our hikes.
Showing that simple map from Rock Creek, to Confederate Ave., and then towards the crest of Culp’s Hill, is most helpful for those who have not visited Gettysburg.
In Roseville and Lincoln California, goat herds are rotated with mobile fencing to maintain the land. They eat everything they can reach for a few weeks then are moved on to another section. Something to consider for Gettysburg NMP.
I was thinking the same thing...... Great Idea..... I posted a message to Gary re; That.....
They do that in the netherlands to!
All the planning that must have gone into this series, thank you for what you do.
Well this is how I will be ending my night! Thanks so much for all the great videos so far. Looking forward to tomorrow’s vids. Great job to all involved, thank you so much
Great work! Thank you!
American Battlefield Trust vids are simply fantastic. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The first week of July 1863 was the most consequential in the history of the United States.
Absolutely amazing, thanks for this explanation of Day 2 and tour of this consecrated land
I just love the ' nick names' that men gained in their service years,
From officers thru to soldiers.
Brilliant. Thanks to all of you, for the outstanding information that you all share with us. Wonderful. Hello from Australia. 🇦🇺
Thank You & good night!
I'm very impressed with Kris's knowledge of Gettysburg and firearms. He would be great to have on one of Garry's tour or a tour by the trust.
I love when you guys show us the land today and then show us pictures of how it looked back then. It so cool to think about the people that walked that same land and touched those same boulders 100's of years ago.
You guys are all so AWESOME!!! Thank you all for continuing to educate me on the battle of Gettysburg!! Great stuff!! Looking forward to the next 2 days of coverage! 👏🤗👏
Congrats to all it is a joy to spend the time of these videos with you.
I absolute love your enthusiasm! Please keep doing what you’re doing as we should never forget!
That story of the African American man fighting with the 147th is incredible. Thanks for sharing!
I keep coming back to this one- their excitement is contagious!
I could listen to Garry all day, full of zeal for the subject, keep up the great work guys!!! ❤ from Coalisland Co.Tyrone NI!!
This must be supported. Thank you.
I thoroughly enjoyed this!
A few years ago while I was serving in the Air Force we flew to Gettysburg in a C130 on what we called a Leadership Tour. We styed the weekend and was given a special two day tour. It was awe inspiring and I love to now view the places I saw in person in these videos.
I've heard the Leadership Tours are the best.
@@BigMrFirebird they brought the young troops into contact with the older ones like me to be mentored.
Little Round Top was always something I thought was one the most important individual battle fights of the battle, but over the years have come to appreciate and think the Culp Hill was much more interesting than Little Round Top. It just did not have a movie made about it!
While visiting Culps Hill, I came across a white cross with a name on it , the next day i literally tripped over the same person’s grave at Nat Cemetery. Over many visits the same name came to light in different aspects,at which point, I realized, this young man wanted something.For the next decade I researched him and his family and have been in contact with ancestors. I visit him every time I’m in Gettysburg, I believe he needed to be acknowledged,and remembered. What a great ride.
if this were a TV show 30 years ago you guys would be #1 very entertaining, well produced
I've never had the opportunity to visit Gettysburg. When i watch videos like this, I am always struck by how densely wooded much of the contested terrain was.
Nice job on this video. Your talking rate is just fine. You are also speaking clearly. (Just a little feedback)
Having ancestors in the Stonewall Brigade I am so glad to hear someone discuss in depth both attempts at Culp’s Hill!
Yes! I've never heard much about it and I've been to Gettysburg several times.
Epic feats of soldiering, attacking a entrenched enemy on high ground . salute to your ancestors
This 71 year old grandma is obsessed with your channel after finding out 2 years ago that her great grandfather fought with the 3rd Wis infantry 💕
You are greatly appreciated!!!!
Happy to have you!
I find these presentations very entertaining and engaging. All the presenters are great, I like the high energy and enthusiasm.
This video was so helpful to me to understand the battle at Culp’s Hill. Thanks so much!
Got the kiddos to sleep, time for some more civil war history!
Love it fellas, keep on keeping on!
🍻🇺🇸
Very interesting and informative. Loved the hikes in the woods!
I’ve always wondered why Lee accepted giving the Federals such internal lines advantages at Gettysburg. As usual I am impressed by the depth and clarity of your presentation
Thank you!
Ohhhhhh my....I gotta get back over to Gettysburg, those trees being cleared out is great, that's what was confusing for me in my previous trips!
Nice job guys. I appreciate you giving the 149th NY (Onondaga County) and the 137th NY (Broome County) its due at Culp's Hill those 3 days in July 1863. They took quite a beating but held their positions which was crucial to the end result.
Great presentation and walk through. Thank you!
I love every presentation Kris has done, great job!
You guys do excellent work, thank you. I really in joyed it.
You think of how extended the lines are to reach the back of the union line, what type of support did they have and when they ran out of ammunition would they be resupplied.
Nobody on the Confederate side in "Battles and Leaders" nor in any other account of the battle can you find a mention of "low ammunition". You can find plenty of... "the position was unassailable".
Excellent video!! Thanks so much guys!
Great teamwork, men!
I enjoyed the trek and the tag-team description!
I’ll be glad when we’re back to pronouncing it Gettysburg.
It is how the locals pronounce it, and the Gettys family has historically pronounced their name as "Gettis" and not "Gettys" ever since James Gettys founded the town in 1786
Great explanation of the battle in Culps hill. Thank you.
Ewell was no Stonewall.
"GETTISburg"
lol I can't that out of my head now.
That would have not been easy because brogans are slick at times to walk in especially up hill..
Great Video! Thank you!
Fantastic presentation fellas. LOVE learning about this terrible time in history. Men definitely were made different in those hard times. Great stuff.
Has there already been a video on the railroad cut and the Iron Brigade?
I'm not sure if my link posted, but, scan through their videos, and you'll find both topics, railroad cut posted July 1, Iron Brigade posted several months ago, but, they mention them in other videos.
Really great battlefield walk...never made it to Culps Hill on my visit
Good one. I always liked walking that area.
Again....great video! Gary you are a trooper!
All I needed to thoroughly enjoy this video was some Hooflands Bitters. The best bitters without a perscription!
I'll probably never get to visit this battlefield from my country, but I feel like I've just walked up Culps Hill - great tour.
great tour. What kind of backpack is Doug wearing?
Thanks for teaching us more about this end of the battle.
Amazing history. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, awesome insider stuff that I never knew!
Blue Moon glad to hear your still with us. You had a great career and a unforgettable name lol
@@paulsaehloff4103 Thanks! I miss Reggie, Sal, Catfish, Campy. Rollie , Vida and all the gang!
Still haven't got that trail.
Crazy distance to get up too the top- geez 😮
Thank you gentlemen. Much appreciated. But man I’d be in that water looking for relics.
There's a ban on relic hunting there.
I believe my great great great grandfather fought here. He was in co 1 louisianna infantry marked as captured at Gettysburg july 4th. he lost his left arm. His name was Charles W V Clark. A coffee shop owner before the war. Thank you for this video. I wonder if he had made it this far into the battle before being captured. He must have been scared and felt lucky to be captured and alive. Complete madness.
This is wonderful. S0 glad it has been cleared somewhat. The old pictures are priceless. I'm viewing this in January 2023. I would love to see another video of what it looks like now. Is it still possible to see the boulders through the trees? I really enjoy these videos.
American battlefield trust needs to sell Hoofland's German bitters T-shirts
As an Australian, all this walking through bushland makes my anxiety go crazy. All I can think is.....snakes. and probably lots of them.
There are a few venomous snakes in western pa, but the cases of bites are quite small.
I wish when you were at Forbes Rock you would have put someone on the Union line for us to see. But other than that GREAT job
They might do that soon!
Great video guys!
It would be really interesting to go over the land with ground penetrating radar to see whats beneath much of the land.
Geary in the battle
Outstanding tour of Culp's Hill section of the battlefield. Bravo Zulu.
Great job guys.
This was awesome guys, I had an ancestor in the 2nd Louisiana who was killed here on july 3rd
Great work.
John White Geary is one of my most favorite unsung Heroes.
Garry - I am surprised that you all never had nothing about General Albert Jenkins wounding and him being taken to the John Major's home. Any chance of doing anything on General Jenkins in the future?
What about the 69th NY ?
I can only imagine if Aquachigger was allowed to hunt that creek and how many artifacts he would find for the museums in Gettysburg. Loving this series. Gary and Kris make duo.
How many ticks did you all pi k up? Iwas there in late april and had a ti k on me as I climbed around Culps Hill.
The dog, i always heard was associated with the 1st Md and I understood the dog’s name was Gracie. Unfortunately i dont have anything other than hearsay to back that up.
I might also add, Matt Atkinson did a talk on Culps Hill some time ago and he had a gentleman speaker who he referred to as “the mysterious red shirt man” i wont use his name here because Matt made it sound as though the red shirt man didnt want his name on video. It was the red shirt man that specifically referred to the dog as Gracie.
That was the dogs name... even I knew that. "Grace" or "Gracie".
I still say Matt could've been Peyton & Eli' Manning's long lost brother.
Wherever he is now, hope he has a big ole mug of something.
good vid ...15 "rods" about an easy pitching wedge (80 yds)
If i was there I would wish to be in the unit that hides in those woods till everything kind-of cooled off
Don't touch anything, with deep respect. Look but leave it alone...it belongs to those that are there, the souls of the Fallen.😶
I'm happy to say when I went to Gettysburg a month ago I only saw 2 bits of trash on the ground in all my miles of walking. When visitors go there they are not your typical National Park visitors. Everyone knows that Gettysburg is sacred ground
My great-great grandfather got shot and wounded at Culp's Hill. Survived thankfully.
My great-great-great grandpa did, too. Gun shot to head. He was in 6th Alabama. Became a prisoner of war and spent remainder in a Union prison in Delaware.
If you ever need help finding anything for your museum, let me know.
My understanding is that the Union troops employed a technique of relieving a unit of troops in the breastworks with fresh troops from immediately behind. Later the relieved troops would further relieve the troops in the breastworks...and, this rotation was one reason for their success in keeping Culp's Hill. Not sure, if this was on July 2 or July 3.
American Battlefield Trust is just amazing - I finally understand the battle of Culp’s Hill! General Henry Warner Slocum was born in the next town (Delphi, aka Delphi Falls, NY) to where I grew up (New Woodstock, NY). I think Slocum has been sadly underrated as a General - besides his stand at Gettysburg, he commanded a corps under Sherman on his “March To The Sea” in Georgia, down the Savannah River - Slocum’s corps along the north bank, and the rest of Sherman’s army on the South. Slocum also fought in the several battles leading up to Gettysburg.
I would love to rent these guys for a day to take me around the battlefield
You can
Just shows a perception we have in England about southerners especially Londoners softies ,and over USA the equivalent biggest city people of New York who's people played a big strong part of the battle ,again I find your civil war very interesting I wondered if any of you americanos ,know much about our English civil war and the main instigator Oliver Cromwell ,and anyone who does know about both Wars which was the most epic civil war , obviously both a couple of hundred years apart thanks for great presentation people 🇬🇧

Reason it was so open was because it was pastured so livestock kept undergrowth down. The problem I see with opening it up is promotes undergrowth. Like 1 other comment to bad couldn't have it pastured by goats to keep brush down.
Lee vs Meade - what could possibly go wrong?
I guess the simple answer would be Picket’s charge. I’m not sure what you’re inferring. Meade was a capable general and at least in this battle was the better one by seizing the high ground and holding it.
