My father who passed in 2017 favorite location, both of us used to be reenactors till health issues caused both of us to not be able to. Thank you for sharing all of these.
My gt grandfather fought at Little Round Top. He belonged to a company of German speaking soldiers from Philadelphia. They arrived the second day of the battle. My gt grandfather rose to the rank of Captain during the Civil War. His name was John Reese. He was a part of the 92nd. He was bilingual and could communicate well with the native American German speaking soldiers. He had a tobacco/candy store in Philadelphia after the war. The Civil War was a terrible thing. Many soldiers suffered from their wounds, many died. My gt grandfather had physical difficulties the rest of his life from the Civil War. No antibiotics caused great suffering.
Gary thank you for talking about Cousin Levi Mumper's photography studio! Levi served in Co. I 127th PA Inf prior to the Battle of Gettysburg. His older brother William H Mumper charged acrossed that field to the north of were you guys were at with Co. K 1st PA Reserve, 1st Brigade, 3rd Division, 5th Corps.
@@timothyrothrock4173 That's actually kind of brilliant. I've totally seen videos on here of people who have goat mowing services or whatever they call it. But the NPS could totally own some. Get some hearding dogs. I know that that isn't how things were rocking there at that point, but it would be a cool way of doing it.
Any stories about the First Vermont Cavalry riding through the Texans and Alabamians. There is a monument to them between the Round Tops. My Grt- Grt Grandfather Oliver Green was amongst them.
Just saw you fellas on the History Channel's Grant...best thing the channel has done in a very long time. Too bad they didn't use you to help straighten out their reenacted scenes. You coulda told them that infantry doesn't march in columns of threes. And other things... that's the drawback of using actors rather than reenactors...but the actors did fit the age range and physical condition better than the average reenacting unit, although they didn't know anything about historical accuracy of their uniforms.
I absolutely LOVE these videos - so informative! However, it would be great if we could get some higher quality to see the details you are talking about. Thanks!
Whoa how strange, just got done watching that part of the movie 5 mins ago and seen this post. Hood was right but it would have taken him too long to go all the way around and they could have gotten separated if the union attacked in between.
@@Alex-ej4wm Hood was never ordered to attack LRT, but turn north short of that and turn what Lee thought was the Union flank. Unfortunately, he got whacked by a shell fragment a few minutes into the attack, and his entire Division was rudderless from then on. Law was his senior Brigadier, but it took too long for him to find out he was now in command. He never did fully get control of things, and in the process lost control of his own Brigade, which is why Oates took two regiments and climb Big Round Top, which was never in the plan. (He likewise 'went rogue' at Chickamauga a couple months later.) Hood certainly balked at attacking into such rough terrain, but had no idea of what terrain he would have been going through had he gotten his wish to 'go around the right.' Lee wasn't about to Okay an entire Division just wandering off into the unknown in that direction, with nobody to scout the way. And Stuart's Cavalry was still sparring with Kilpatrick well NE of GB, at Hunterstown that afternoon.
This is great work. If I can make a suggestion, just let us know which way is east, west and how the different places relate to where the hosts are standing.
Thank you American Battlefield Trust for this tour. A little unrelated, I heard on a talk show this morning, that there is a discussion to rename a U.S Military base after Col Shaw of the 54th Mass. I wonder your thoughts on the matter?
Just sayin' , Suh - A'hd be checking for ticks about now. I had four when I walked those grounds last year, and that's just about average when you're doing any serious 'stomping.'
I was thinking the same thing! Treating clothes with Permethrin seems to help deter the ticks. Just make sure to follow the instructions & don’t apply directly to your skin.
I am only going to make this comment to hopefully improve future broadcasts. As this is an excellent topic. To: Guide Doug Douds, please slow the pace of your speaking. To me (and maybe only me, but?), much too fast for me to properly enjoy your extensive knowledge.
My favorite white guy,looks like Carridine on Revenge of the Nerds but I'm not pretty either lol Seriously thank you for these videos they are great Love from a half breed from Tennessee Cherokee Nation
I would be pissed to go there and have Gary play-acting at the sights. Paid a pro tour guide. She was wonderful and respectful. Quiet and dignified. The battlefield was about history and heroes to her, not about her. These guys need a life.
I absolutely loved garry with two r's he brings the battle back to life with his enthusiasm. To each they're own I guess but I think your in the minority guy!
Garry, Thanks for providing these 157th anniversary videos. I love the tactical detail and the amount of information for each area. Having watched about 10 of your excellent videos describing different areas of the Gettysburg battlefield, can I please make a suggestion...Please don't talk so fast and don't be so animated with the arms. Sometimes you are just racing with your speech and getting excited, when really that hallowed blood stained ground deserves a more solemn approach. The fast talking almost brushes over these important actions, and in my personal opinion, doesn't give the men that fought and died here, the respect they deserve. I love your videos and will watch them all, but slow down your talking, and NO animated hand movements or dramatic voice shrieks to emphasize a point.
a little too much enthusiasm in the narrators voice - to the point of glee - over a killing field. A place of amazing fascination, yes, but tone down the delight.
My father who passed in 2017 favorite location, both of us used to be reenactors till health issues caused both of us to not be able to. Thank you for sharing all of these.
I think the men who fought there would be amazed to know that 150 years after the battle that so much interest is still being shown.
Lee was fighting for the 10th Amendment State Rights.
I find the history of the "flowing rock" fascinating... Thank you for these great videos!
So good. Please keep doing this. Thank you.
Absolutely love this series!!
The line of site perspective you guys capture is unlike any i have seen . And i have been there too many times to count . Great work again !
These livestreams have been outstanding thanks for showing us the battles of Gettysburg!
Nice, balanced treatment -- fair to both Federal and Confederate positions and involvement. Please continue to show this equanimity. Thanks!
Keep these coming! Next best thing to being there
You guys are making me miss my happy place so much! May have to make a trip there this weekend.
I love the energy. Very interesting and informative
This has been a wonderful series...was at the battlefield last year...can't wait to visit again.

A shout-out to Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain and the 20th Maine!

These guys are amazing. Imagine spending a week with them immersed in the terrain.
Jeez. An Amusement park and a Dance Floor on hallowed ground. !
Cool stuff! Never knew about the photo studio by Plum Run
It's so wild how quickly the brush grows back up. The controlled burns they do have really made a difference though.
Yes I was there in 2004.
Yeah, nature has a way of winning in the end.
They need to get a heard of goats. They would like to take care of the brush.

Great stuff! Love the enthusiasm.
Awesome presentation!
Great job on these videos!!!
good stuff man
I wish I had a map to reference while listening to this.

Thank You All! Uh,...WHAT brand of Coffee does Adelman favor?? Gotta Get Some!
He drinks masterful knowledge of his subject.

New Yorkers vrs. Texans.... that's a couple heavyweights going at it there.
And they are still going at it today! Only now we root for Texas.

Keep our history leave it alone
Lee, Bragg and every other traitor should never have had anything named after them. Except a landfill.
@@Fdjt4ever Truth! And, yes, rename that base after the heroic patriot Shaw.
Charge! Bayonet!
Loving the videos. Moar please. 😁
Blind Davey Has A Gun, new band name, called it!
I wish this could pre presented in something better than 360p.
Awesome

The Alabamians were elite regiments in an elite brigade in a elite division
Somebody needs to write a song " 'Blind-Davie' Had a Gun".
we all know you made the trough rock stew garry
Cool

Heard several times Texans and Georgians charging beaten back , By who ? New Yorkers and Mainers enough said .
do they still clear the land by grazing animals?
Was this filmed with a camera from 1862? What up with the poor quality?
Shut The Muck Up can’t you just appreciatehistory?
looks a little bushy out there.
Need to get a heard of goats out there to clear out that brush.
Whatever throws Gary into fast forward has infected Doug!!!!!! Replace these clowns.
You know I just wish Garry would show some enthusiasm.
Garry with two R's is the man!
Where's Connor and her schoolkids? ;-)
GOOD GOD MAN ! STAND STILL AND TALK !!!!!!
you guys can't get a 1080p version of this? really?
huh? can't here ya.
The compression algorithm makes these videos almost in watchable.
My favorite white guy,looks like Carridine on Revenge of the Nerds but I'm not pretty either lol Seriously thank you for these videos they are great Love from a half breed from Tennessee Cherokee Nation
Dude is GIDDY. Adults needed for something this serious. SECESH Las Vegas
slow down

Garry is a Licensed Battlefield Guide so I guess you better hope you don't get him the next time you reserve a tour!
I absolutely loved garry with two r's he brings the battle back to life with his enthusiasm. To each they're own I guess but I think your in the minority guy!
This is garrys job. He brings the battle back to life. Nothing wrong with it. It's welcomed.
Lame clickbait comment.
Deserves a flogging 'e does.
