- Gettysburg The Boys In Blue and Gray: is the sweeping epic story of the Battle of Gettysburg as experienced by the soldiers who were there. In mid-July 1863, Union Lieutenant Frank A. Haskell wrote a letter to his brother which is considered one of the most vivid and well-written accounts of the battle of Gettysburg. Haskell's compelling words and moving eyewitness accounts from soldiers on both sides serve as our window to the largest battle ever fought on American soil.

I’m Scottish but I am very intrigued with the war of independence and the civil war. Thanks very much for putting up something I haven’t saw before.
Thanks for uploading 👍🏼

I don't understand why the drawings shown at the very beginning were part of this. They were not of the battle of Gettysburg. The soldiers depicted were wearing great coats. Gettysburg occurred in the SUMMER of 1863. 100 degrees everyday. I know how hot it was , having re-enacted the battle for 6 years and saw many men suffer from heat stroke.
He had a lotta fond memories of them days
Where can I find a recording of the song that's sung during the credits?
On the morning of July 3, members of the 16th regiment were stationed as pickets forward of Cemetery Hill. In the afternoon, after a two-hour artillery duel, Confederate General Robert E. Lee launched what has become known Pickett's Charge. The Vermont pickets were withdrawn, and as the Confederates approached Cemetery Hill, the three Vermont regiments flanked the Confederate troops first flanking Pickett's division by wheeling two units to the right and then doing the same to two detached Confederate brigades by wheeling two regiments to the left.[1] Stannard's brigade inflicted severe casualties on the advancing Confederate regiments and forcing some of Pickett's men to redeploy covering their right flank. History recalls this battle as the high-water mark of the Confederacy. Three years later, at St. Albans, Vermont, General George G. Meade, commanding the Army of the Potomac at Gettysburg, said "there was no individual body of men who rendered greater service at a critical moment than the comparatively raw troops commanded by General Stannard."[1]
Very moving
Lol I didn't know Gen'l Reynolds was high on pot morning July 1. Gotta love these actors
Haskell's account rambles quite a bit. But it does have a vivid firsthand immediacy. He was there.
Unreal what they don't teach in school, Gettysburg PA was just one battle out of hundreds. Didn't have a clue.. Now, I have the full view.
I'm quite into history the civil war was a sad and tragic affair that set the pattern for ww1.god bless all those who died for their belief.
Amen to that, Mr. Glennor
I don't understand how did killing arch Duke Ferdinand who was assinated by Bosnian Serb got to do with the south defying the norths order to stop slavery as USA didn't enter ww1 until the last year' of the war I'm interested in history so if iv missed something I'd like to know 👍
