B.S. there is no "African American' that man was indigenous to America and I am sick of you "Europeon-Americans" lying about my ancestors. What was his name prior to being a slave? The information just stated his mother was Emeline. What was the last name and if you know his mother, surely she did not make the baby alone. What is the father's name, which was conveniently left out. That's because it is BS. Y'all been lying about these wars for years and it started when you lied and taught Columbus discovered America.

Very informative - thank you!

One notable exclusion involving this battle in Ringgold Gap was that Grant spent the night there, his only one in the state of GA. He stayed in the Whitman Home which still stands today. Two story, with the family living there, Grant asked the lady of the house to provide food for his staff. When she said we have none, Grant ordered food to be brought into the home. The next morning, Grant offered the lady $ 50 in greenback currency. She refused, asking instead for Confederate money. General Grant announced to his staff, " There is one rebel that ain't whipped yet!" They cheered the lady as they rode off. Grant soon departing Chattanooga for the Eastern front to fight General Lee till the conclusion of the war.

He could have shortened this without the "uhs and oms."

11:20 C-vitamins, Apples, lemons and cabbage

I counted 3203 “uhs” during this monologue. Unbearable

In 2022, 22.1 million full- and part-time jobs were related to the agricultural and food sectors-10.4 percent of total U.S. employment. Not 20%

Unfortunately your facts are a little old. The food and related industry are only 5.6% of our economy: Agriculture, food, and related industries contributed roughly $1.530 trillion to U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) in 2023, a 5.6-percent share. The output of America's farms contributed $203.5 billion of this sum-about 0.7 percent of U.S. GDP.

Miss these vivid battle talks

I have dug up lead soldered cans from the Civil War. One sardine can was opened with a knife and another was opened with a square nail. Second Battle of Corinth, Mississippi.1862

My gr gr grandfather george davis fought under William Tecumseh Sherman. He named his son, my gr grandfather, William Tecumseh Sherman Davis. I spent an entire day with an old man who lived on top of the ridge. Amazing man. He also was an engineer who worked on the TVA and worked on the Alcan highway.

Arguably the most intense battle of the civil war fought in total darkness... That's spooky.

Ah, I love logistics.

I was going to say Water.

200 50 million Hershey bars not so impressive, lòok into the orphanage, that's impressive i eat a lot of Hershey bars

The Union army was fortunate in that General Grant had served as quartermaster 4th infantry in the Mexican =American War in the 1840s So he knew the needs of the armies in 1863=1864 and reorganized the routing of these stores,everything from shoes to weapons to lothes and ambulances. And this worked well see "Grant" by Ron Chernow a good read.

Something you don't think about much.. But is/was extremely important for these armies to exist... To think about the logistics for the armies on a march... really makes you appreciate this all the more on how important the quarter master dept was..

These are great. is there a playlist with all of these in chronological order?

My Great Grandfather was wounded at Missionary Ridge… shot through the leg with a mini ball. 97th Regiment,Comp I, Ohio Voluntary Infantry. Sacred ground.

I believe an excellent book about the industrial revolution is the "Jungle". It told about how whole hog sausage was literally whole hog sausage. Hide hair bones and entrails. I hope i got the title right. It was the reason for government intervention in food processing by the USDA. Government ruins everything.

Necco candy wafers were in the Civil War soldiers bags. Great amounts of goober peas were consumed by southern soldiers.

Almost everything in this presentation was something I knew nothing about. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing video. Thanks for posting.

That is very interesting. So many animals!

Good info, thank you. Sustenance.

Tin was not steel - it is pure tin as in pewter and not cheep - today tin is about 6$ a lb - not cheep but highly reusable melting at 360 degrees.

Sadly both parts of my family fought there. One was a southern and the other was a norther. My family in the Vowels clan were on both sides.

Yep the Ky volunteers were the first to clime up and go over.

Excellent series. I wish all the National Military Parks did this during Covid. Greta job. Love visiting there too. Super duper Museum there.

Amateurs talk tactics, professionals talk logistics!

Lung Khrap

I love food history!

Coffee saving lives on the battlefield isn't right but it probably saved more lives than anything else

Wealthy southern slave-owners didn't have to worry about their next meal. As for the fighting redneck grunts, who cared?

Wow, this guy provides such an important, factual explanation of such a key matter! Who ever knew what hardtack or salt pork was? Thanks.

wish you had told us about the cocaine they use to put in Coca Cola. Too bad we can't use it for pain. Too many trial lawyers making people suffer with chronic pain needlessly.

$1 billion for food seems a mite high, given that in 1860 the entire US federal government budget was $63.1 million.

“If practicable” two of most powerful words in the English language. How many times have those words come into play in Civil War history?

That's the guy who got seriously killed

Best of Luck to you!

Best wishes!

What about clothes. ?How was that replacement done?

How did they git the grain out of the wagons?

Why didn’t they use horses? To do the wagon hauling?

The last time I was on Orchard Knob was about 50 years ago and it was a great disappointment. There was trash and graffiti everywhere. I hope the Park Service has rectified those problems.

We went to look out mountain several years ago. and was on a tour. It was told me that it was the KY volunteers, that was the first ones who' was 1st of the yanke's over the top, fighting the rebels. That blew my mind , because most of my family from ky. were rebel's. They fought for the south. That is when I found out the Ky was split with the different family's in Our state. Most of mine were rebels. A few fought for the north. Some to this day will not speak to the others. LOLOL Me being as old as I am could care less.

My Great-grandfather, John Vincent, was shot, and left for dead, in the Battle for Lookout Mountain. He was found to still be alive, by his company, and fully recovered, going on to father 6 children, and finally dying at the age of 87.

I have a Great Great Great Uncle, Sgt. John Douglas, who died as a result of losing his leg at this battle. He was a part of the 28th PA volunteer reserves

Well this is just awesome to see and hear about.

Very interesting story. One of my descendants. Robert Simmons died during this battle on the union side.
