Battle of Gettysburg | Berdan's Sharpshooters at the Slyder Farm | American Civil War

At 10:08 I seemed to have made a very silly mistake. It is not a picture of William Oats. I uploaded the wrong picture and didn't catch it until this video was already uploaded. A real boneheaded move on my part. it has been cut out but if you would grant me some grace 😂
In this episode we explore we explore the grounds of the Slyder Farm. On July 2nd, 1863, elements from the 2nd U.S. Sharpshooters who were considered an elite unit, took position near this farm and began engaging with confederates troops under the command of General John B. Hood. Hood’s division swept across the Slyder farm in its advance toward the Devil’s Den and Little Round Top. The sharpshooters were outnumbered almost 60-1 but inflicted heavy casualties on the advancing Confederates.
