Wayne gets so excited (like I would) that he looses his breath hahaha!

My great great grandfather was in Berdan’s unit. Company F. He wrote a letter home on July 6, saying it was “a hard fite.” His letter says he “went into the fite on July 1. “

APPRECIATE YOU WAYNE MOTTS!! PLEASE keep doing these.

My wife and I have been to Gettysburg dozens of times but always love your videos and the 'off the beaten path' walks and information.

Another great episode. Gained a new appreciation to this location. A place I’ve overlooked for too long. Keep up the great work. Can’t wait for the next video

[@michaellynnhardy]

very helpful, added detail with the perspective of the topography; helpful filming occured when leaves were off the trees. thank you

[@davidarmstrong6313]

On a hot day like today in Gettysburg, it cools me off to see this video shot back in winter.

[@scotttemplin1645]

It goes without saying Wayne never disappoints. Loving these videos.

I was under the belief that Goodyear Rubber made the Rubber buttons and distributed them through the Novelty Company. Not the B F Goodrich Company.

[@McNair39thNC]

I believe you are correct, Goodyear not BF Goodrich. Easy to mix those up though I suppose.

[@ACupPlayz]

Love these

[@gettysburgbrian]

Very cool video

[@joelandwehr6382]

Another great video presentation.
Don't know who "throws hands" more, Wayne, you or Garry Adelman. I'm guessing Garry copied & tried to best you in the gesticulation department. 😅

Next time, just let the reenactor talk; don’t help him so much. As a living historian, it interrupts the flow when you’re giving a presentation and you have to stop and start over and over again. Otherwise great presentation. Thanks so much Wayne!😊

Is the rock wall still there? Great vid!

[@scottscottsdale7868]

Love me some Wayne Motts.

[@donott8648]

You are yelling, talking over him, interrupting and cutting off the expert. Very hard to watch. You are not letting him finish his description.
Dave was a nice guy, telling you “your doing most off the talking”

Red hat ? Mercy ..
