My great grandfather was a slave who left his plantation to fight for the north he was in the 19th Infantry out of Camp Stanton in Maryland. He is listed on the African American Civil war monument in DC. Over200,000 slaves became soldiers and help the north win
Remarkable coverage of the Battle of Gettysburg!
161! I love it. This is like a mini-staycation for me every summer. I'm gonna make up there again some day.
Thanks for taking us along on this fantastic journey!! I'm sitting in front of my big screen tv and it's like I'm right there!!! Thank you Garry, Kris, and Sarah!
Live quality on the big screen, we've come a long way! Thanks.
My 3G-Uncle James Wright Bonds of the 2nd Mississippi died at the Railroad Cut. I've always wanted to go there.
Much love from Brockton, MA thanks guys!
Many men from our town were in the 12th Massachusetts and fighting there on Day 1 under Baxter

Hello from Houston, Texas. Excited for Gettysburg 161 and looking forward to more videos today!
One of my relatives was Brig, General John Battalion, McIntosh of the 3rd Pennsylvania Cavalry fought at Gettysburg. This is always amazing to hear the Trust doing live tours like this. Thank you for all you folks do for us.
Hallo from Ireland, great channel 👍
Hello from Gettysburg Greg in the Land of Lincoln. Thaks.
I am 62! Gettysburg on my bucket list! I plan on going in the Fall months when foliage is not so thick. Easier to see the terrain through the trees. I saw Little Big Horn in the month of June, same month as the battle! Seeing the height of the grasses really brought the battle field life. Keep up the good work Battle Field Trust!
Love the program. Byron from Gettysburg.
A scared couples of days. Really hope you guys also cover the Petersburg campaign and the Crater/ Weldon Railroad/Peebles Farm this summer! You guys knocke it out with the Overland!
See our Petersburg series on CZcams!
Greetings from Erie
Loved the “360” and setup of location at the start of this episode.
Was fortune enough to walk this today. You inspired me to drive up from Frederick 😊
I just booked my first guided tour for 9:15 a.m. on Friday July 5th. So excited!
WOW, WOW,WOW! I did not know you guys take donations to save battle field sites. AMAZING WORK YOU DO.
We were just there last week. 6/22-6/28. We did ok seeing most of the field. auto tour on the last day did not take us to the July 1st Barlow battle sights.
Been there twice. Still not enough, I will have to return soon.
I'm going to watch the movies this week, probably on the 4th.
The 95th N Y and the 14th Brooklyn, Fowler's demi Brigade were left over from the Eastern and Original Iron Brigade, which was disbanded before Gettysburg, when 3 other 2 year regiments mustered out.

My x2 Great Grandfather Charles Nelson Holden fought on the first day in the 1st Brigade, 2nd Division of the 1st Corps in the 94th New York Infantry.
Farmingdale, NY is in the house!
At first I was a little confused about being told 7:47 Reynolds was killed without explanation of how and when. Luckily the next commentator revealed how. Remember your viewers don’t know as much as you so unless the story is told fully it gets confusing. Thank you.
Would be amazing if you guys could put together a lil series for schools and educational systems. What they teach about Gettysburg in school is bleak. I think it would be tremendous and get way more kids involved about preserving and respecting our history
Our content is already used heavily in classrooms, but we have a virtual field trip for Gettysburg in the works for this exact use. Thanks.
Hello from near Brown’s Gap Virginia
Getting ready for Round 2!

Fantastic as always!
154th PA vol inf 11 Corps, this soldier Michael was a father/ soldier, who returned to duty on july,20,1863, he died I the 1880s, Capt Howe hid his sword, but was in a Confed hospital St xavier catholic church, then later after they left he recovered his sword, gave it to his daughter years later. Interesting, Whatever you do don't play pirates with these swords, as a lot of kids did?
If it's possible could you do a video about Confederate artillery,it just seems they get a bad reputation because of Gettysburg, mainly day 3 of the battle right before the charge.
See our many videos along the confederate line, but also those on Benners Hill where recover artillery and more detail. Check both Facebook and CZcams.
I need to look for an account of a Union soldier fleeing through the streets of Gettysburg with his pants around his ankles because he intentionally dropped his belt buckle on the battlefield.
Hancock arrived barely in the nick of time to preserve Culp’s Hill!
And jhonson blocks the chambersburg pike up with all of ewell,s wagon trains !
Any new plans to interpret the area that was the old golf course?
I don't know if it was in this video, but Garry spoke about what he considers the best single volume book on Gettysburg. Does anyone know what that was?

With pride and because of your mentioning the 6th Wi
HAIL GENERALS BUFORD & MEADE!!!!!!!
Garry has totally tried to climb out of the railroad cut
I had several Great-Great Grandfathers and one Great Grandfather as well as many cousins and other relatives who served the Union and unfortunately the Johnny Rebs in the Civil War and Gettysburg in particular. One of those was Robert E. Lee. Other relatives lived in Gettysburg as civilians at the time of the battle, So I am personally connected to it in several ways.
I disagree with Chris's evaluation of the Confederate failure being based in part on the restructuring of the Confederate Army. Ewell at least proved more than competent in his direct of Second Winchester. And at the initial point and time of impact the Union Command structure was a hot mess, particularly after the heedless death of Reynolds. To me the real cause of the Confederate defeat is the absolute failure of the Confederate Commander to utilize the cavalry on hand for adequate recon. With proper understanding of his opposition, Heth, even though he's a tyro with the AONV, would have probably swamped Buford fairly quickly. They would not have been looking over their shoulders pondering the casualties they had sustained over the past year. When their lines broke, one wonders if the Union Army, with an unfortunate legacy of defeat, would have been able to retain Unit integrity.
Ohio here
You guys do great work
11th Corps Broke first. ;)
Garry is the man !
The town name is actually pronounced Gettisburg. Gary chooses to mispronounce it. I'm sorry that so many people follow his lead.
Are you on Kris White's payroll? 😆
@@AmericanBattlefieldTrust I haven't heard him slag off his least-favourite Union General as yet.. well at least as far as Chancellorsville and Gettysbury are concerned..🤣
No offense
But I'm not a fan of Sara, sorry
