Step back in time to the spring of 1864, where the fields of Spotsylvania, Virginia, became a battleground for the souls and strategies of Union and Confederate forces.

    Was at Spotsylvania right before you visited, judging by the season in the video. My parents were visiting me in DC, and my dad and I both being CW history buffs, visited this battlefield. Very tragic and hallowed ground, puts Gettysburg to shame in my opinion

    Man, you are the master of the battlefield walk through. Camera shots, narrative and storytelling are as good as it gets. Can't wait for the next on either.

    Excellent video-I appreciate the mix of overall history but also some personal/firsthand accounts. And also great job showing the topography-must have been a horrific sight 160ish years ago.
