Same cemetery where 2 if the 3 Fox sisters are?

GM was NOT the last man to see GAC alive. He WAS the last trooper to see him. The last men to see GAC alive were White Man Runs Him, Hairy Mocassin, and Goes Ahead. They are on record as stating " we last saw GAC AT THE RIVER" as they were dismissed by GAC. That location is Medicine Tail Coulee headed down to Ford B. As for Curley, all 3 scouts I mentioned said he claimed sickness and disappeared before then. They didn't see him again until the steamer location.

The start of the electrical revolution. Those events launched mankind into a new era. A lot of people don't realize that Thomas Alva Edison also indirectly contributed to the making of computers through an effect called "The Edison effect." He noticed that one side of the lightbulbs he was using was darker than the other. The reason for this was electrons were being released from the anode end of the conductors. This led to vacuum tubes. This led to circuits that allowed for computing mathematical problems fast forward 120+ years, we're using this technology to watch videos, cheat on our homework, and simulate warfare online while talking about each other's mom. Engineering is beautiful. Wait a minute.....does this mean that Thomas Edison indirectly contributed to "Your mom's so fat" jokes?

Neat stuff indeed. Bravo

Is that the same cypress Hill in Brooklyn

How long would it take You to.walk.that whole cemetery

Is this in Brooklyn

Great video! What is that oddly shaped builiding behind your head from 1:10? A gray/beige building with a central tower and different wings.

Is pier 59 still in use ?

Thank u for this 💜✨

Check out the website offering tours inside.

It’s good to see a recent video of this cemetery. I have family there and the last pictures I saw it was in a horrible state. Point of information: his wife is not actually buried there. According to what I read, her family did not want her to be buried in a Jewish cemetery.

whats the adress of the memorial ?

Nice work!

All those Brave and Honorable Confederate and Union soldiers! They both Sacrificed so much.

Do these generators still work and what voltage did they put out and was it 3 phase or single phase

Glad to hear you’re ok! Looking forward to seeing your adventures again.

Custer was an incompetent fool. Repeatedly splitting his commands in front of a larger force. And got everyone killed. Also he got what he deserved……ask the Blackfoot.

I was doing a graduate level class at Gettysburg College. On our tours of the battlefield the Class visited the the North Carolina high water mark. The Park Ranger told us that after the battle that in the dead from North Carolina included a woman dressed as a man.

Theres hell to pay John

Giovannni Martini from Brooklyn. I live near West Point and the museum has great exhibit on last message

Actually, the last person to see Custer alive was probably some Indian guy.

Do some research on custer. You wont think hes so great after that.......

That’s why Custers men were slaughtered! They were too busy watching Custer!

The note that Custer sent with him still exists somewhere.

Great Video, thanks for the tour.

?? I suspect that the last soldier to see Custer alive was one of his troopers who was also battling the Indians and died there right after George.

Custer died as a Lt. Col, not a General.

Right by my apartment, I often stand right where you are looking up at the massive figures. Love this!

Were these the North Carolina troops under Pettigrew?

He was an Italian immigrant who didn't speak much English and he was the bugler; which was probably why Custer sent him back for reinforcements because he was one of the least effective fighters in his command. He is buried in Cypress Hills, Brooklyn (I used to live near this cemetary) and he lived into the early 20th Century there and that is how he came to be buried in this place. It's a huge place with a lot of graves from the Civil War to the present. Very impressive ! 🇺🇸📯

Here are some thoughts about what General McClellan should have done to avoid piecemeal Corps attacks at the battle of Antietam on September 17, 1862. George McClellan had around 85,000 troops while General Lee had around 45,000 soldiers. The Union also had the advantage in the number of guns, including rifled artillery. Here is a thought exercise to guarantee ALL the Union soldiers met the Confederates in close quarters battle to grind them up in a bloody battle of attrition. Here are some ideas keeping in mind that command and control over troops in a Civil War battle was a difficult task. The point here is ALL RESERVES in General McClellan's Union Army are prepositioned divided between two sectors of attack explained below. 1. The Union right flank attack should have been assigned to ONE COMMANDER who was a the Alpha Group Sector commander. The Alpha Group Sector commander would have been in charge of ALL reserves and artillery assigned to him with the attacks launched in successive waves one after another with the objective to destroy all Confederate units in the Dunker church/cornfield area and beyond then pressing the attack into Sharpsburg itself. The tactical method would be to launch a sharp concentrated artillery attack on carefully reconned Confederate positions. The skirmishers are sent forward of the first wave of double lined infantry immediately after about an hours long artillery bombardment starting at sunrise. The first attack wave engages the enemy. The second wave attack has ALL RESERVES sent forward soon after the first wave. Artillery units are sent up along with the second wave attack in smaller units to offer flexible firepower solutions to the tactical circumstances of the battle with emphasis placed on firing doube canister rounds at the enemy troops whenever practicable. Riflemen are assigned to protect the artillery batteries moved forward from enemy snipers and rifle volleys. The second attack wave engages the enemy filling in the gaps of the first wave attack. The objective here would be to press the attacks forward regardless of casualties. A regiment in the first wave that suffered 80 percent casualties would be combined with another regiment with 50 percent losses or more to form a new regiment, requipped with any stragglers rounded up then resent into battle again. Military police troops under the Sector Provost Marshall with small cavalry units would gather up straggler ot survivorscat bayonet point forcing them into new regiments for further attacks. 2. The Bravo Group Sector would be the center with the aim of overwhelming the Bloody Lane and destroying all Confederate units in the center . The General in charge of the Bravo Group Sector attack area would be in charge of ALL RESERVES and artillery units in its sector. The Bravo Group Sector attack group would launch its artillery bombardment at the SAME TIME simultaneously with the Alpha Sector Groupattack. Again, the Bravo Sector first attack with skirmishers and the double lines of infantry would immediately be followed up after the artillery bombardment commencing at sunrise. The second wave attack would include ALL remaining infantry reserves in the sector with accompanying smaller batteries of artillery protected by riflemen to engage the enemy as the tactical circumstances allowed or required. Again, these attacks would be pressed without regard to casualties. The Bravo Group Sector commander's responsibility would be to make sure the attacks were pressed forward ruthlessly without regard to casualties with ALL HIS TROOPS pushed forward in the first and second waves. Regiments that suffered heavy losses would have the survivors rounded up, amalgamated with other regiments, requipped with water, ammunition to be sent forward again. Again the Provost Marshall with military police troops and small detachments of cavalry would round up stragglers and survivors of decimated regiments forming them into new regiments. 3. No attacks would be launched on the Union left flank. The only troop activity would be enough Union troops dug in on the defense or behind cover to stop any Confederate probes. The idea here is enough is going on in the Alpha Sectors and Bravo Sectors to keep the Union Army busy for the day. Perhaps a cavalry probe could have been sent out on the left flank to cut off any Confederate reinforcements from Harpers Ferry or elsewhere but this is optional because only the minimum number of Union troops on the Union left would be deployed. The key point here is ALL RESERVES in the Union Army would have been predelployed in either the Alpha Sector group or the Bravo Sector group with NO RESERVES except for perhaps the cavalry kept by the Union commander. The point here is to make the perfect mincing machine to grind the Confederates up into bloody sausage to destroy the Confederate Army or at least severely maul it at a minimum. The simultaneous nature of attacks in the Alpha Sector and the Bravo Sector meant Confederate General Lee would NOT have been able to deploy reserves in place then move them to another to fill holes in his infantry lines. The Confederates would have been locked into a vice then overwhelmed by Union guns, Union rifle corps with unrelenting maximum pressure. Any history student who is wondering how the Civil War in the East might have been ended on September 17, 1862 this method would have had to have been adopted. This concept of two Union group sector attacks on the Confederate flank and center after a heavy artillery bombardment with ALL RESERVES committed in the Union Army with would have likely been the only real way of accomplishing such a task. General Grant could have carried out this plan but General McClellan was not the man for this kind of carnage and attrition. These tactics may have well had to be carried out again on September 18th to destroy Lee's Confederate Army. www.battlefields.org/learn/civil-war/battles/antietam

1876, not 1878…

Custer's adjutant William Winer Cooke is buried in Hamilton Ontario Canada close to my home.

Grass,as the Soux called it.

1878? Custer died June 25, 1876 nimrod. I believe it was figured that the last stand occurred between 2 & 3 o'clock local time.

Giovanni Martini

I think of this and I think of how mislead they were. As NC I would be much prouder if they had fourth against the ARN

Great video!

Thank you so much !!! ❤

1876 not 1878.

Pettigrew was killed a few days later. He was the brother of one of my ggggrandmothers.

Disgusting

Whoops did you say Washington Square Park there at the end? I think that's about 8 blocks south down University Pl.

I grew up on Euclid Ave and used to walk in there all the time I love that cemetery it’s beautiful ❤

General Custer was heard to say before he died. I can’t understand these guys they were singing and dancing last night

So this man was the messenger for custer? Wow. If custer didnt send him out he would have been killed as well.

Love these videos! Thanks for all the knowledge!

There's hell To pay

Yo.... I saw what looked like a soldier apparition in the woods!
