Co-Founder of the American Battlefield Trust Will Greene makes his last appearance on our trip as he details the Federal attempt to capture Confederate guns known as the "Cherokee Battery."

The American Battlefield Trust preserves America’s hallowed battlegrounds and educates the public about what happened there and why it matters. We permanently protect these battlefields for future generations as a lasting and tangible memorial to the brave soldiers who fought in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Civil War.
Hain't public land but I got lucky. Thank you kind lady that allowed me to walk this famous pristine site.
Kudos to Will- I always love his presentations.
Great video!
My great-grandfather got a bunch of shrapnel in his back at Resaca, and he was shipped home to recover. He came back for the Battle of Nashville. He died at 47, when the shrapnel moved into his heart.
Look at those buckeyes go, amazing!
Bravo!
Thanks Will!
Three cheers for the wonderful Mr. Will Greene, who always brings his fascinating knowledge and unique perspective to the conversation! A true National Treasure! 👍
These guys are great
One of my favorite places on the Resaca battlefield.
Going there tomorow..
You guys are so good, and TOO FUNNY! Thanks for all the knowledge and now, a giggle or two. Frankly, had I been there and I had the opportunity, I would have been right there in the leaves with you! Keep it up!
This video has renewed my interest in visiting these areas of Civil War battle. Thanks for the great video!
Van Den Korput's Battery also left behind their battle flag which was captured. It is now held by the American Civil War Museum in Richmond.
I love the reenactment! It paints a picture of what they were doing.
Great video! It’s great that you and Chris and Wilson keep the Civil War alive! Keep up the great work!
My great uncle was Andrew Jackson Williams of Polk county Tennessee who was one of only 40 surivors. He was in Company A 2nd Tn. Calvary.
Visited July 2020. Owner of red brick house ran me off. Said Battlefield Trust lost the protected status back in Jan 2020. . Now I know he was lying. So I will be back. Got within 50 yards of it at least. Parked same spot fellows were located.
Where is a good place to attempt to see this? My ancestor was some of those Buckeyes that captured this battery
My ancestor, Cpl Edwin Booth, was in Co F of the 5th Ohio Infantry.
Congrats to You Guys! 5th Company Washington Artillery “TRY US!”

My g-g grandfather Thomas J Box won the Medal of Honor at Rasaca
Fun play acting men!
Great info.
Love the image with Will and Joseph, (Generals first names)
Great job as always. What did the vegetation look like then ? seems like new growth ? Doesnt look like a great place for artillery.
Phillip L. Secrist has a book "The battle of Resaca". The front cover is from a painting by a man names Kurtz . It shows the guns unmaned with Confedarate infantry on alert for another yankee charge. Looks like a good field had been cleared.
Battlefield contrivances that's new please use that more Gary
I really appreciate these videos. This isn't related to the video but I live just south of Cincinnati, around Florence Kentucky, now I know we have civil war history here, I think Florence is the most northern point that the Confederates made on its probe of Cincinnati in 1862, and I live 3 miles from Skirmish at Snows Pond. Now what I was wondering is, the battle of Cynthiana Kentucky, i know there were two battles but I can't find maps but I want to find that battlefield. Morgan really Blundered the second battle. I wish we could find out more about our little battlefield. No one around here seems to care or know where it's at and I been trying to map it.
Very good book abt the Cherokee Artillery came out a few years ago called “The Damndest Set of Fellows”
They’re definitely one of our Civil War prides we claim here in Floyd County
👍🏼
Good job. What kind of camera do y'all use for the videos ?
Who agrees with this? In many ways the Battle of Resaca is a Federal Victory
Please always remind Us of losses, in this day of ignorance the cost of civil wars needs to be announced loudly.
For the most part, the video on Picketts Mill - New Hope - Dallas was just excellent. But why not spend just a little bit of time talking about the Battle of Dallas, rather than just mentioning it? Maybe because historically it seems to have been difficult to dig out the facts of that battle, and so it is most often given short shrift. But really good job. I learned a lot.
I was a fan of Gary until I saw him on the Addressing Gettysburg podcast. He has some complaints about viewers of the videos.
