I bet the British with their enormous empire were watching the great amusement as their old colony tore itself apart. I bet you there was a lot of "i-told-you-so" in the London coffeehouses of the time.
Ironically, we're still being taxed to death... much worse than the colonial 18th century... our ancestors are spinning in their Graves at this moment. 😢 😂
I come from the Pennsylvania Culp family on my Mother's side. In 1980, I walked the route of Picket's charge to the Union works as a young boy. I was lucky enough to have grown up before the internet and actually had to study things you were interested in and the Civil War was always one of my fascinations, even at that time. To actually walk the ground had a very profound effect on me. Even to this day.
Ancestors from 25th VA, Company K. Glad to hear the 25th mentioned, even if it was about their colors being lost. From what I have read, they were used a lot as skirmishers.
American Battlefield Trust! I've been anticipating your videos for Gettysburg 160. I appreciate your time and research of so many historic topics. Job Well Done. 🇺🇸🎩🇺🇸🎩🇺🇸
Amazing video. We have a seasonal camper down there and have explored Culps hill many times this spring and summer. We always find new things and this introduced us to some new things.
Thank you all for everything you do. I’ve seen so many videos these past few years but this is my first time to comment and comes from a PROUD new member of the American Battlefield Trust!
Great stream, but it was jarring after Sarah finished her morose story, and Gary jumped in. I needed a minute to collect myself 😢 Regiment stories are the best stories. They’re my favorite interpretations to hear I really liked Gary illustrating the boulder during the video. Those are great features
Another great video from the ABT team. As a Brit I knew very little about the Civil War until a few years ago when I watched Gettysburg 157 now I feel I at least understand this battle. Consequently, Gettysburg is now on my list of must visit places. Thank you all for your outstanding work to preserve American history.
Thank you for this wonderful video, discussing some of the lesser-known aspects of the fight on Culp's Hill, which of course has been overshadowed by Little Round Top.
Planning on sleeping next Tuesday, this work is so good. Anyway Gary, if you don't want to shave like Ed Bearss, do Mr. Fremantle with good royal accent.
I take it that the Indiana monument is relatively new. It looks like a monument to the World Trade Center. Yet it's not as bad as the castle on Little Round Top, which I think is to the 44th NY. Lee's mistakes were many, both at Gettysburg and in not giving Stuart and Ewell explicit orders. Except for Longstreet, he was working with second rate corps commanders, meaning Ewell and Hill. There were still some good division commanders at that time; they were soon used up.
At the Battle of Gettysburg, Were there detachments of US Army Field Engineers, and Sappers that helped with building entrenchments or other field engineering tasks?
I see no reason RUclips should be upset with the pictures that were included in this wonderful video. When I was in High School the library had a large blue book with nothoing but Gettysburg battle pictures in it. Your pics are pretty mild compared with ones I seen at 14. (and what I saw in Vietnam.
spanglers Spring story is interesting, even the WWII story connections, wow, union confederates drank water at different times from here. July 2nd was one of the Hottest days
My g grandmother's 2nd husband was on culps hill with the 66th ohio. Reuben humbert. In 1903 there was a group photograph taken of civil war veterans. He died in 1904 .
Dang! When we first visited Gettysburg in c. 1973 there was a water fountain in Spangler's Spring. I thought the water we drank from it was directly from the spring but the fountain was set up to make it easier for visitors. .now i find out it was just regular municpal water.....oh well.
Q: Why was it so important that the union could rotate units in and out of the line? A: 1st it gave the men a brief rest. 2nd men carried a limited # of rounds into battle. Remember that on the left side the Maniacs ran out of ammo. B/c units where run in and out on the right side this never happened for they could re ammo when they were pulled out.
Can’t image the quite nights with the sound of the dying and wounded the only thing you hear. Have always wondered about the strain the battle put on the town ship , water , doctors , nurses, just all out medical needs. Or the daily needs of the citizens.
Question for everyone and the crew. Who would you take? The Iron Brigade, Irish Brigade, Gibraltar Brigade for the north against, the Stonewall Brigade, Texas Brigade, and Bennings Brigade for the south. Who do you take?
The letter of the 137 NySV INF is very interesting full of hopes and past Union victories, he states the regt lost more men than any in the Brigade we were left alone, and flanked,
can u put in a word to the g- burg politix to add more southern monuments to the southern story, esp Col oats on his quest to add a high water mark on the round tops that was not granted !
People are crazy. I hate to tell the people who wrote back to Ike that every commander does things that could have gotten them sacked. It is not the first time Lee did something that could have gotten him sacked either. People are a bit more realistic and less clouded today...mostly.
can u possibly add more content from the southern side of the story, the north were the invaders & this is pretty much the only time the south invaded the north
1940s 50sLEE should be sacked? in the midst of the last Confed rebel, veterans and such? WHOOPS? The Union should have sacked Meade? OUCH!NO he did a great job!The battle of Gettysburg had to be studied more, yes it needs to be, both commanders were so dissatisfied aftermath.
Am I the only one who is just as interested and passionate about these battles but just can't retain the details like these guys?!
Simply the best. How good is my life, I spend my day on the battlefield and my nights watching ABT videos!!
The only thing I can say is Thank you to everyone involved.... Brilliant!!!!!! From a Red Coat over the pond!!

how you doing over there ?
As a Hoosier, I appreciate your mentioning the Indiana soldiers this weekend. They traveled far too defend the Union. RIP.
Hats off to the ABT.. tons of work behind the scenes coming together for one heck of a 160 anniversary.
We need a Garry Adelman action figure, wears a cape, arms & legs move rapidly, interchangeable hats.

Thanks for coverage. Never gets old. Always learn something new.
Awesome work!
A big thank you for all of your coverage on Gettysburg 160 from Richmond, Va.
Ancestors from 25th VA, Company K. Glad to hear the 25th mentioned, even if it was about their colors being lost. From what I have read, they were used a lot as skirmishers.
I LOVE these videos! Almost live as it happened! Thank you so much! Gettisburg! one of the BEST! :)
Sarah, outstanding presentation on the 137th NY. Thx!!
I love hearing soldier letters in battlefield area where they were written to bring it back to life.
Fantastic commentary! Thanks everyone
American Battlefield Trust!
I've been anticipating your videos for Gettysburg 160.
I appreciate your time and research of so many historic topics. Job Well Done. 🇺🇸🎩🇺🇸🎩🇺🇸
More wonderful work! Love these videos, thanks everyone who is involved.
the Battle of Culps Hill is intriguing, Yes awesome cannot wait
Amazing video. We have a seasonal camper down there and have explored Culps hill many times this spring and summer. We always find new things and this introduced us to some new things.
Glad to see this today. My big plan was to walk this part of the battlefield tomorrow. I haven't been in a while and never really walked it.
Thanks Kris for your description of
Culps hill. And Sarah as well Gary interesting stuff.

That’s near the rock carving. I found it back on April 15th after watching one of Garry’s videos.

I want to be on Culp’s Hill and have Gary jump out like that 🎉😂
😂
Outstanding History work all round.....👏 from Isle of Man🇮🇲
Outstanding job as usual! Love these videos.
Awesome as always guys!
Thank you for this wonderful video, discussing some of the lesser-known aspects of the fight on Culp's Hill, which of course has been overshadowed by Little Round Top.
This video series is wonderful. Thank you for putting it all together.
Thank you all so very much! So interesting.
Thanks all, I love this!
I remember that day like it was yesterday. Forgot how much happened on that hill. Really good job on the video.
Great, great video. Nice job!
Planning on sleeping next Tuesday, this work is so good.
Anyway Gary, if you don't want to shave like Ed Bearss, do Mr. Fremantle with good royal accent.
Great content!
Great video!!! Has the NPS ever thought about using cattle or goats to keep down the vegetation?
Well done guys Garth

Is there a place that has your livestream schedule?
No sorry. We can’t post that with so many people on the field.
My Great Grandfather was in the 25th VA, 2nd Co G.
My g grandmother's 2nd husband was on culps hill with the 66th ohio.
Reuben humbert.
In 1903 there was a group photograph taken of civil war veterans.
He died in 1904 .

Charles Engle was a dreamer.. Lee wasn't as whipped as he thought...
I'm interested in the Jubal Early quote that Kris references regarding Clio, the muse of history. Does anyone have the source of this?
Anyone else notice the bird nesting in the gun barrel at the 1:00:21 mark?
Good eye
Q: Why was it so important that the union could rotate units in and out of the line?

War does not prove who's right or wrong, but who's left.
Gen Greene, was a man of his time 1801-1899, his son was on the USS Monitor another at the Wheatfield,
See the bird fly into the barrel of the Napoleon during Kris' story about Ike and Monty?
Can’t image the quite nights with the sound of the dying and wounded the only thing you hear.
Have always wondered about the strain the battle put on the town ship , water , doctors , nurses, just all out medical needs. Or the daily needs of the citizens.

Is the Lost Lane video that Kris mentioned on RUclips? I have looked for it and can't find it.
Timestamp?
@@AmericanBattlefieldTrust 4:24
The NY Brigades 12 Corps was one called the Excelsior Brigade this is intriguing 137, 149,th received reinforcements of the 11, 1st!?
The letter of the 137 NySV INF is very interesting full of hopes and past Union victories, he states the regt lost more men than any in the Brigade we were left alone, and flanked,
Does all the presenters on these videos have to be licensed battlefield guides?
Where are you tommorow? ;-)
can u put in a word to the g- burg politix to add more southern monuments to the southern story, esp Col oats on his quest to add a high water mark on the round tops that was not granted !
IKE and Monty studied Gettysburg? WOW
✌️
My ancestor James Seth Scarborough in the 2nd Louisiana Co. A was killed on July 2nd on Culps Hill.
Why not cover the French Indian War?
cant hear

People are crazy. I hate to tell the people who wrote back to Ike that every commander does things that could have gotten them sacked. It is not the first time Lee did something that could have gotten him sacked either. People are a bit more realistic and less clouded today...mostly.
*Adelman
Eli Lilly was killed in Chattanooga TN
Monty and Ike got what they deserved... how dare they bad mouth RE Lee...
I keep hearing this young fella say Gettisburg, instead of Gettysburg.
I was going to say the same thing
Kris does pronounce it technically correctly.
can u possibly add more content from the southern side of the story, the north were the invaders & this is pretty much the only time the south invaded the north
1940s 50sLEE should be sacked? in the midst of the last Confed rebel, veterans and such? WHOOPS?

Is anybody else checking for possible ghosts in the background?
I am not a fan of Robert E. Lee. He wasted a lot of men and leadership of his army.
Your intro music sounds like cnn? You lose credibility with that intro music! Change it please!
