What a splendidly-preserved battlefield; I had no idea. You guys are hittin' it outta the park with these videos...thanks a ton.
This was excellent. Mike Bunn gives a solid and thoughtful tour.
Thanks guys. My wife and I visited Fort Blakeley and Magnolia Cemetery today and really enjoyed both. Thanks for the recommendation.
My great grandfather William Lindsey took part in the siege with the 47th Indiana Infantry in Veatch’s division. We visited Fort Blakey a few years back and really enjoyed it. The park staff was extremely friendly and helpful, especially when I mentioned ancestors involvement.
I love you guys and the passion is second to none …. I love your history as I do my own …. Thanks guys keep it coming … Jamie southern England uk 🇺🇸🇺🇸🏴🏴🇺🇸🇺🇸🏴🏴🌹❤️
Interesting history lesson about Mobile. Civil War classes I have taken very seldom speak of Alabama defense posture. Thanks!!!
Great tour of old Fort Blakey. Gods narrative. Thank you for sharing! 💯👊👍
Mike Bunn rocks!
I have lived all my life down in Mobile and on the Mississippi Coast and been a minor Civil War buff since high school some 50+ years ago and never grasped the significance of Ft Blakeley and the battle there.
I recently read a book titled Fourteenth Colony which was the British colony extending from the Florida Panhandle over to the Mississippi River excluding the New Orleans area.
I just checked my copy of Fourteenth Colony and the author is.....Mike Bunn.
I hope that I'll be able to meet y'all this year for the 158th Blakely anniversary while our event is going on. Y'all have been a pleasure to listen to.
Great stuff!
Thanks for posting
Wow. I went to Fort Blakeley in 2009. Awesome place. Definitely a creepy haunted place. Felt like Cold harbor. some of the best preserved earthworks from the Civil war.
Thank you. I was unaware of this late battle in the war.
Hello American Battlefield Trust and thanks for your videos ! Sorry for my english (i'm french). Could you please make a video about an animated map of the civil war summarized in 30 minutes or a video which summarize the war of 1812 in 10 minutes ?
And also and animated map of the battle of Chancellorsville.😅
We have a 27-minute Civil War animated map on our RUclips channel. 1812 and Chancellorsville before long.
@@AmericanBattlefieldTrust Hello and thank you. Could you please send me the link of the 27-Minute civil war animated map because I don't manage to find it.
A direct ancestor of mine fought at Fort Blakeley - and LOST.
Which is good.
This was extremely interesting and I must candidly confess my ignorance on the topic. Great stuff, gentlemen.
Yall should've came out 3 weeks later. The fed reenactors re-dug the original works and adding new head logs, firing steps, etc...
seriously? =( Wish i would have went. Didn't know it was going on
I hope not.....
Mobile? This isn’t in mobile!
Yea ikr, this is baldwin =P
