  • We make our annual trip to The Horse Soldier Antique Shop in Gettysburg to check out what Civil War artifacts they've come across over the past year. Then at the end of the video we have a special surprise for Garry as he gets to take a relic out to the battlefield.

    Part cure of not having been to Gettysburg in the last 5 years is knowing that this team of historians will always make me feel like I am walking the fields with them. As far as the Horse Soldier is concerned I have spent hours of previous trips inside that shop studying case after case. However there is always that feeling when leaving that I will have to return as soon as I can to see what I missed and what new items have arrived. Thank goodness that they keep their website updated on a daily basis which serves me well until my return! Happy 4th from Long Island!

    Much respect to the owner of the Horse Soldier bringing authentic memorabilia for those who want to own a piece of real history. The segment at the devil's kitchen with the diary of Lucius Larraby (sp?) was heart tugging.💔 I have always been more drawn to the stories of soldiers and civilian involved in the civil war, a lot more than the battle aspect. Thanks Garry and Kris.

    I served in the Infantry with 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines. In our armory are a number of captured weapons from America's enemies that we have taken in battle and put on occasional display. I think our last taken was a Dishka machine gun from the Taliban but it got blown up by an IED during transport at the tail end of the battle of Marjah. Anyway, seeing that inscription on that butt stock brought a mighty smile to my face. Such a great American military tradition of taking captured weapons from our enemies so we can gloat about it. Thank you for sharing!

    My husband and I’ve been to Gettysburg a couple of times but this video makes me want to go back. How proud I am of our brave union soldiers who fought to hold our nation together and to rid us of the horrors of slavery. How sad they would be to see what our country is becoming. The desecration of our nation’s flag that they defended so honorable is really disheartening. The Union forever! Happy 4th!

    After getting beat in every major battle for two years. And Stonewall Jackson being shot by men from N.C. in his own army. The Union finally wins 1 major battle. (Not counting the two Western Fort Battles that Grant Won .The whole War was fought in the East and the South). You'd think they Won the War. Gettysburg this, Gettysburg that. What about Fredericksburg ? They Built right over that battlefield where 7000 Union soldiers were killed. And left about 40 feet of wall and that's all. I'm in many films ,filmed in Gettysburg. But enough about 1 single battle. I'm from Michigan. But I play a Confederate whenever possible. And bleed Gray. Jackson would have had Artillery on Little Round Top. I've also filmed a half a dozen times at Harper's Ferry where Jackson Won 7 Battles, where he got his artillery up a round rock mountain. At Gettysburg a Confederate Artillery Officer was on Little Round Top first and thought he couldn't get artillery up there. Then Warren a tiny weird looking Officer whose eyes looked in two directions, gets a monument for putting artillery there. Every battle the artillery took the high ground. Every time I'm there I want to push that Warren monument down that hill.

    STOP GLORIFYING WAR! “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.” ~Albert Einstein
