Please come and visit! I love these videos, but I have to say, seeing Gettysburg in person is astounding. Gives you a proper sense of the scale of the place. I have been once when I was a kid, and am planning to go back once the Little Round Top area reopens.
@@bennoe5715 I just went back for the first time since I was 12 a few weeks ago, and photos really don't do it justice. It's fair to say that you don't really get a sense of how harrowing the battle must have been until you're actually walking the landscape. So chin up, Mr. Down!
One thing I really appreciate is you show us areas of the field I have NEVER seen before. No one that I know of has shown the area below the left flank of the 20th Maine from the Confederate perspective. Thank you!
Thanks again gentlemen for another perfect presentation. I've only been to Gettysburg once, in 1973, when I was 10. Now retired, my dream is to visit Gettysburg one more time, perhaps for 5 - 7 days, and take as many professionally guided tours of the battlegrounds as is possible. You genuinely make this Civil War buff proud. Keep em comin !! 👍👍 (Never knew that Chamberlain didn't allow Oates to erect a monument to his fallen brother in Union held land.)
You should really see it again, it has changed so much for the better. The dumb tower was torn down. New visitor center built there behind Cemetary ridge and they are returning the old visitor center to how it looked at time of battle without any buildings there. ALso they have returned the vegetation to how it appeared at the time of the battle !
@@JamesBray-qm8gr-q3w I am 100% in support of returning the battlefield to as close to what it looked like in 1863 as possible. This has to be THE most hallowed military ground in the 48 contiguous states. Many would argue for Pearl Harbor overall, but I say Gettysburg.
That's because even the most recent union cadet knew how racist and pro slavery even the most recent Confederate cadets. Inb4 bUt tHe UnInOn wAs RaCISt ToO, yeah and so was everybody else in the world problem is the CSA are the only country trying to maintain slavery, so much that America uniquely suffered from lost causers which directly cause the Jim crow south. No other country made segregation legal right after a civil war we're one side wanted to leave because they couldn't own other people. Hard to memorialize people when the big question of why were they put on the battlefield that day, is answered with a truth so ugly you can't really feel sorry for them.
I just had an opportunity to visit the battlefield again. I wanted to go to Little Round Top but access was closed. I ended up at Culp’s Hill which was a bit off the beaten track. I was able to spend 90 minutes on top with no one around. I felt very privileged to end up there and developed a greater appreciation for the place…
I absolutely love the format! Walking the ground and the ability to get off the "path" is so instructional & informational to those of us that may never be able to do so ourselves. I have not been to Gettysburg since 1978 and the change is incredible. I remember the front (the south & west sides) that faces Big Roundtop and Devil's Den being full of vegetation unlike the period pictures I saw as a kid (much like it appeared behind Carter in the shot of his visit). I LOVE that it looks much more today as it appeared in July, 1863. Keep the format going to supplement the other great videos you already produce!
The 83rd Pennsylvania, 44th New York, 16th Michigan and 140th New York really desrve a lot of praise for their Day 2 actions. Actual and un- embellished regiments...
I liked formats like this because it's almost like I'm there myself. Can't wait to visit Gettysburg sometime. I am also glad to hear they are going to repair some of the damage.
first comment is just how stunningly beautiful the landscape is at Gettysburg, and just how marvelously the battlefield has been preserved to date. I am absolutely confident that the planned protective measures will take this section of the battlefield to an even higher plain of preservation. back to your real question. there is a real value of having a guide speaking to a bunch of ordinary American visitors because the way guides interact with an audience is very instructive to non-Americans and very revealing. Your guides act as role models for all sorts of folk who also have to speak to students, parents, kids and such like at different occasions. Back to go-pro tours. go-pro-ing puts yet another additional level of pre-planning and execution onto the shoulders of the poor guides - but the chance to edit with old photos adds enormously to the experience. When go-pro-ing is absolutely essential is when you are off track and have some specific reason to be there, for example to show the steepness or brokenness of ground advancing troops had to cover, or when you were inside memorials which day visitors to the battlefield might not (i mean certainly) will not have the time to see, since there is so much else to see and be amazed at. So long as the guides are happy to go-pro then I would certainly say yes, adding it to the wide mix of presentations you are constantly innovating.
I just recently visited Gettysburg for the first time while the restoration project had Little Round Top closed. Thank you so much for the detailed tour. I can’t wait to go back and do it in person after everything is done. Thanks Again for sharing and conserving History 🇺🇸
I loved it! Thank you! You were on parts of Little Round Top I’ve never been to in over 35 trips. I can’t wait until the rehabilitation project is finished and I can access the whole area! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Gary and Chris, well done.I like the new format that you used. I plan on coming to Gettysburg this summer for the first time. I am 72 yrs old and most of my life I have been wanting to see the battlefield. Your video has made me very excited to see Gettysburg. Thanks again!
Gary, I went to Gettysburg last year and had a guided tour of the battlefield. I learned a lot but this particular video is so much more informative. Now I would like to go back and see the battlefield again and walk down where the battle really took place. Very well Done!!
It is a great format, Gary and Kris. I cannot visit these battlefields and thank you for these videos from the American Battlefield Trust. They are my way of learning about history.
Please keep doing these. And thank you. Little Round Top. Is one of my favorite because of the 20th Maine. You guys did an amazing job showing us what it had to be like for booth sides. 👍😁
Love the format and the spontaneous dialogue. You guys are a wealth of information! Please do more of these type of walk arounds! Really helps to get a sense of the battlefield and I'm able to mark off some locations to visit when I get back there again!
This was excellent, thank you folks so much!!! So many new and interesting perspectives and spots we'll have to visit when we can make our way back to Little Round Top!
Very nicely done Gary. it gave me a better insight as to the hight of the teraine and what the opposition had in front of them to encounter. Thanks and well done.
Best time to go and study. Foliage gone and tourist are nearly non existent. You can see more miles! Take your Lainos, OR's and a good book and have at it! Thanks ABT! Hope they make a trail on the actual "military crest" of the hill...
Another amazing job by everybody at ABT! I LOVE this format, please do more. Especially in late fall/winter/early spring. You can see so much more clearly without the leaves and vegetation. It’s my favorite time of the year to visit. Again, Thank You, this was awesome!
I really enjoyed this video tour! I last visited the park in 1999 and hope to visit it again when Little Round Top has reopened. I imagine you're familiar with Val Giles descriptive account at Little Round Top with the 4th Texas Infantry. He mentions sharing a boulder with John Griffith. Since my last visit I found out that my grandfather's first wife was the granddaughter of Griffith. From your video it sounds like the 16th Michigan was the primary regiment they may have contended with. Looking forward to walking that land.
Great tour guys! I have been to Gettysburg many times and have not seen some of the spots you took us to in this video. Can't wait for Little Round Top to reopen to see the final result and do some in depth exploring.
Great video! That's definitely off the beaten path. I really enjoyed the two camera format as well. I went to school in Chambersburg but history never covered the Civil War in any depth. I actually skipped school once, ended up and Gettysburg, looking at the monuments and statues without really having a clue. Thanks for all the work ABT is doing!
Thanks guys excellent great to get these view ,the saddle and the great looks of laws advance and union defence ,hopefully planing trip from Australia to gettysburg and work on little round top will be complete .
Accolades for the format of dual screened visuals, along with relevant graphics. Live in California. Never been to Pa. Intend to make the trip and visit after the renovations are completed. The catalogue of vids that shows the battlefield, keeps me coming back. Walking (with a video camera) the battlefield is indispensable for those of us, who are unable to readily access the Park. May I make a request for future consideration? Please consider doing something similar at Houck’s Ridge, the Rose Woods, and the Stoney Hill. These specific areas are frequently mentioned, but generally bypassed for video views. Thanks again for what you all do!
It really astounds me that the Park Service would have Little Round Top, a huge key to Federal victory, closed for the 160th anniversary celebration. Thanks for another great video.
Just when you think "Yeah, I know this stuff", reality smacks you in the face and says "Oh, you think so, do ya?" I didn't know about the Michigan Sharpshooters being on LRT or in digging deeper, that Casper Trepp was falsely accused of cowardice by Hiram Berdan. Sadly, Trepp would be felled by a sniper's bullet at Mine Run almost 5 months later. So, thanks for arousing my curiosity and increasing my knowledge.
Great insight there and always a bit sad when you run into dissent in the ranks that could have caused a bit too much bravery than was called for in a given moment. Sharpshooters were by far the most unappreciated service, right up there with cavalry...never enough.
Loved the video!!! I hope there will be others like this in the future. It gives the viewer such a great perspective of the battle, but also the importance of terrain in a given battle and what them men had to go through to try to take it from those trying to defend it. Keep up the great work and I’m proud to be a donating member to such a great organization 🇺🇸
I thank you both for this insightful and descriptive presentation! AlasI have never visited the battlefield having lived too far for the trip for much of my life. Sooner or later I will make it there! You can bet that before I make the trip I will watch this video many times! I wonder why something like this has not been done at other places? I know that you did some of this work this past summer in the south and I have also watched those impressive videos. As a nudge, I can say that I have not seen much video content about Cross Keys and Port Republic by anyone and I am not sure why.
I really enjoyed the video format that you guys did. Looking forward to more. You took me to places I have always wondered about when I have visited Little Round Top. Your explanations were great.
I love listening to mr. Adelman... he sounds like one of those eighties ads that sell stereo equipment..."The Peach Orchard,The Wheat Field ,Dan Sickles!,Little Round top ,BIG Round top!!! Come now these prices are FREE!
Thank you for a compelling tour of Little Round Top. I've been there dozens of times, but never in such a comprehensive excursion. I'm looking forward to the reopening so I can access some of it's treasures. I promise to redouble my efforts to explore the "military ridge", Vincent's Spur, and the "curious rock formation". I've always enjoyed the battlefield on foot, but nowadays I would remind likewise visitors to check for ticks afterward. By the way, will the beavers stay?
Dual camera view is sick. One thing you could add is an google map or animated map overhead view with a directional indicator to how the camera is being pointed
Excellent videos guys. The only thing I would change is when you point at a specific area/location, instead of just pointing, add a pointer in the video to show us that specific area/location.
I've had the good fortune to visit Little Round Top many time, but this video showed me more in one hour than personal trips there! I've always had one concern about the roads, like Warren Ave at the saddle of the two hills. In the making of these roads, how much did this area lose, especially the saddle area? Was this area higher, lower for the Rebs to cross, as the parking lot below Chamberland's 20th Maine has taken a huge portion of the hill. Will they replace that area back to what it was? I wonder?
Nice video. I enjoy these types of jaunts. It may be the last look from some of these vantage points because from what I’ve seen this past year the park will no longer allow you to venture off path and explore. Walking cement or macadam will be mandatory from what I’ve heard.
Yes, everything I feared…what a horrible idea to restrict access to history..these places just won’t have the same feel after this “rehab”(ie: restrictions)..and they want us to save these battlefields by becoming members but will now restrict access to everything..part of the lure of these historic places is being able to get up close and have a personal experience by sitting on the rocks these soldiers sat on, touching these spots they stood etc…sucks
For a UK civil war enthusiast, who will probably never get to visit these places, these videos are amazing, thanks for your efforts. Very enjoyable
Never say never, Mr. Down

@@CCNYMacGuy I thought you were calling me Mr. Down (like I was being a downer) and was extremely confused for a bit!
Me too they provide a great service
I actually really like looking at the battlefields in the winter because I can see much more ground without the vegetation.
Yeah, that's when I usually go myself for that reason, Mr. P
It's incredibly lovely in the mid-autumn with the colorful trees
I do love this battlefield and hope to visit it when I retire.
I like this new format minus the split screen. You give one a good understanding on how to understand the park and how it developed over time.
One thing I really appreciate is you show us areas of the field I have NEVER seen before. No one that I know of has shown the area below the left flank of the 20th Maine from the Confederate perspective. Thank you!
This is the best tour I have seen. I understand Little Round Top a lot better now.

You can book these guys for your trip.
@@Veteran-NurseIf Garry Adelman is available, his private 5-day tour would be worth 10K in my estimation.
14:46 LOVE what y'all are doing with these troop movements clips
I enjoyed this format! Great job guys! Sweet Home Alabama!

Great format. You show us the battle on the field. Most visitors just walking around probably have no idea what they are looking at. Thank you.
Thanks Garry and Chris. This video will help us compare before and after changes. I like the format.
Love this format! I have been there a few times but to get the benefit of your commentaries is priceless.
Loved it. Great Video and documentation of what it looks like before restoration. Many Thanks
Good idea getting in there and documenting this before the restoration takes place. Enjoyed this!

I've been to Little Round Top several times, and this amazed me with how much I didn't know. Thanks guys!
One of your best videos to date, thank you for giving us this detailed descriptions of Little Round Top!
Love the Format,great work and thank you
Makes me miss Gettysburg even more . School field trip in the 60's got me hooked Thanks to all of you!!!
Great work, Garry and Kris. March is a fantastic time to visit the battlefield. Of course, there's no such thing as a bad time to visit Gettysburg.
Gary, I went to Gettysburg last year and had a guided tour of the battlefield. I learned a lot but this particular video is so much more informative. Now I would like to go back and see the battlefield again and walk down where the battle really took place. Very well Done!!
Well done Garry and Kris. I loved the walking 2 camera tour. More of that for sure. Thank you.
It is a great format, Gary and Kris. I cannot visit these battlefields and thank you for these videos from the American Battlefield Trust. They are my way of learning about history.
Thanks gang! I appreciate the walking tour concept. I am hoping to make it to the battlefield soon. The last time I was there was almost 40 years ago.
Please keep doing these. And thank you. Little Round Top. Is one of my favorite because of the 20th Maine. You guys did an amazing job showing us what it had to be like for booth sides. 👍😁
Sensational content.

Awesome presentation guys, definitely will get to those spots after the rehab.
AMAZING
Thank you !
Awesome. Please do more of these type of videos for those of us that would not visit the Battlefield.
This was excellent, thank you folks so much!!! So many new and interesting perspectives and spots we'll have to visit when we can make our way back to Little Round Top!
This was SO AWESOME!! Thank you American Battlefield Trust! 4K makes it so much better and clear. Chris and Garry are so great.
Excellent job! Very informative. So well-communicated.
This is great information and history telling, for both sides.
Thanks for the tour Garry, hope there are many more to follow 😊👍
Great tour. Thanks
I love the getttsburg its fascinating I felt sorry for the soldiers they had hard times.
Yes, love the new format.
Very nicely done Gary. it gave me a better insight as to the hight of the teraine and what the opposition had in front of them to encounter. Thanks and well done.
I drove almost 8 hours to go to Gettysburg, in June for my 21st birthday, such a beautiful place
Really like the format, hope you do more like it.
Best time to go and study. Foliage gone and tourist are nearly non existent. You can see more miles! Take your Lainos, OR's and a good book and have at it! Thanks ABT!
Hope they make a trail on the actual "military crest" of the hill...

Thank you for a compelling tour of Little Round Top. I've been there dozens of times, but never in such a comprehensive excursion. I'm looking forward to the reopening so I can access some of it's treasures. I promise to redouble my efforts to explore the "military ridge", Vincent's Spur, and the "curious rock formation". I've always enjoyed the battlefield on foot, but nowadays I would remind likewise visitors to check for ticks afterward. By the way, will the beavers stay?
I like this dual format.
Exactly Garry,many of us can't get there anymore. I reenacted since 1976 and now I have a cane.
Great video guys!!!!!
Oh man it hurts my soul to hear that General Warren thought he was dying as a failed soldier. He did not fail.
Dual camera view is sick. One thing you could add is an google map or animated map overhead view with a directional indicator to how the camera is being pointed
the "i watch him!" could have been me haha, got me good😂
Superb.
Great idea with the way you filmed this video. The dual view was but made it hard to see
Love everything you guys post 👍
Excellent videos guys. The only thing I would change is when you point at a specific area/location, instead of just pointing, add a pointer in the video to show us that specific area/location.
awesome job....enjoyed very much!
The boys are back!
I love these little tours, but who almost heard Gary say "walking vodka"?
Very cool. Thanks
I've had the good fortune to visit Little Round Top many time, but this video showed me more in one hour than personal trips there!

US Civil War smooth bore guns could fire shells, Case Shot ( Shrapnel ) was available as well as Canister and solid shot.
Thx from Germany
Nice video. I enjoy these types of jaunts. It may be the last look from some of these vantage points because from what I’ve seen this past year the park will no longer allow you to venture off path and explore. Walking cement or macadam will be mandatory from what I’ve heard.
Yes, everything I feared…what a horrible idea to restrict access to history..these places just won’t have the same feel after this “rehab”(ie: restrictions)..and they want us to save these battlefields by becoming members but will now restrict access to everything..part of the lure of these historic places is being able to get up close and have a personal experience by sitting on the rocks these soldiers sat on, touching these spots they stood etc…sucks
During the battle wa the hill and covered with the trees? These look very young. Will they be removed?
Good video but you barely mentioned the 83 pa inf. And didn't show the main monument with strong vincent supposed likeness.
