    I love listening to you Gettysburg professionals. Great job. Carol has amazing stories she speaks so softly and peacefully it sounds so respectfully when she speaks of the soldiers. I could listen to her all day and not say a word ☺️

    My 2nd great grandfather, Milton Lawhead, fought with the 149th PA Bucktails on the first day of the Gettysburg Battle at this sight. He actually lived through all three days without getting wounded or killed. He named his first born son Roy Stone Lawhead and I remember him...

    • @jamesrogers5277
      @jamesrogers5277 Před 3 lety

      If you feel someone’s talking too fast just set the playback speed to 75%. The pitch and tone remains the same. It’s a pleasing solution especially as you get to linger a little more on the story and enjoy the views. As it happens I always do it with Ben Shapiro’s channel. Makes him sound normal!

    The tiniest of nits, but there's something on your lens, upper right, a brown dot that I've tried to clean off my screen twice across two separate videos. Good idea to clean the lens. Great show! I love this kind of thing, your enthusiasm lifts me up.

    • @markwyliee13
      @markwyliee13 Před 6 lety +1

      Frank R. Pilot I think that may be more likely to be the First Battle of Bull Run where people actually took picnics etc out to watch the first main battle of the war but there could have been onlookers at Gettysburg too though i find it less likely....hope this helps!!

    Just imagine that in the year of 1863 being a civilian just walking on field and the Confederate army had it got here yet and the union army have it got here yet as well and the next thing you is filed and drums going off you here men shouting out commands and next you here come the entire Confederate army is you are saying what the HEACK are they doing here next thing you you here files and drums going off and you turn to your other side and you see the entire union army is there and the only thing going through your mind is what the HEACK is going on here and the only thing here cannons going off muskets going off and your looking to both directions and you right in the middle of a dang on fire fight and you know you only have a little bit of time to make it like a tree and get the HEACK out of DOGE like drop everything you have and run for your life

    Good grief. The worst casualties of the Civil War occurred at Gettysburg, and these guys sound pumped up like they're announcing the Kentucky Derby instead of treating it with at least a modicum of dignity. I expected better of ABT based on some of their other videos. I can't bear to sit through this one.
