- Join Gettysburg National Military Park Ranger Matt Atkinson and explore the Sherfy Peach Orchard on the Gettysburg battlefield. Valued by both sides because of its high ground and open fields of fire, a brutal battle for control of the Peach Orchard would shatter the landscape and result in some of the most brutal fighting of the battle of Gettysburg.
Whatever they pay Matt Atkinson and Gary Cross, it is not enough. These 2 are modern day Gettysburg legends
I'm amazed how this guy can remember all of that info, all those little details, with no notes or anything! That is incredible! I'm really, really impressed.
Longstreet was right...Lee was wrong..Just like Pickett's charge , even a private would have known not to advance on open ground like that. That Is why I never thought Lee to be a Legend at all. That was a stupid move period. No excuse for that. A Great General...But no Legend after that mistake.." Sorry "
Matt is positively one of the best all time commentators on the Civil War. He is fluent and flawless with his delivery and adds a very real intangible human element. Thank you truly
I am so glad that I found these NPS videos. It is refreshing to see these very knowledgeable and passionate rangers describe Gettysburg and the battle that took place in 1863. Gettysburg National Military Park should be very proud of all of these rangers and their ability to paint the picture as well as they do.... I know that I am. Keep up the great work GNMP.
July 2, 2020. 157 years ago today, and we're still fighting this damned war.
matt has become something of an internet star. with good reason, his delivery is that of an excellent teacher
Man, Ranger Atkinson makes me want to take a trip up there and hear him tell these live! What a storyteller!
My husband and I are frequent visitors to Gettysburg, traveling several times each year. We truly enjoy Ranger Atkinson's tours. He is very thorough and well informed in his tours. He involves the audience in his tours, and is very humorous, making his tours interesting. Kydos, Ranger Matt! Thanks for sharing!
Here's to the men of the 2nd NHVI who perished in the Sherfy Peach Orchard on July the 2nd of 1863. Rest In Peace.

Ranger Matt, your sense of humour is brilliant. History comes to life... Appreciated.
I had the pleasure of meeting Matt Atkinson a few years ago at GNP. He seems like a really good guy who truly enjoys his work. His videos are always quite good and understandable to a wide ranging audience.
Some day soon, the wife and I are going to stay near by and explore every inch of this hollowed battlefield, where SO MANY Americans on both sides died for their ideals.
This park ranger, Matt Atkinson is sooooo wonderful to follow. He should have is own show!
I lived in Gettysburg for 25 years and have learned more watching Ranger Matt Atkinson videos along with other Park Rangers then all of the history lessons from school. We go back a few times a year and would love to know if Matt is still there and giving tours. Thank You sir for bringing history to life with your amazing tours.
