A second StuffWriter/Matt Atkinson video in as many days! I guess we’ve been living right to deserve all this.
I’m here 22 min after the author uploaded the latest video!! I’m proud to be one of the first to see this! Lol😂 thanks so very much to all involved. Your programs have been a great addition to my life. Very enjoyable. Good ol Matt. I hope to catch one his programs one day soon. Bucket list item # 23 😂
Last year i had the chance to visit Gettysburg, from Belgium. Also a great one from my bucketlist
Matt's the man! Good to see him again!
Omg another one?? This is like when Dan Carlin at hardcore history comes out with a new episode every 10 months. Like Christmas in June lol. Thx Stuffwriter and Ranger Matt. 🙌
A few weeks ago, I saw Matt face to face for the first time in 5 1/2 years. My wife and I were regular battle walkers with him for years. After she passed away I lost interest in a lot of things. It was good to reconnect with Matt after such a long time. I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things. Good to see you again, buddy.

Do you think that beard suits him it’s rather cool
Another engaging, enlightening and entertaining walk from Matt. A walk with him is on my Gettysburg bucket list
I've watched Matt a thousand times, every single video he's done and I still enjoy his tours and lectures. I'm across country from there but one of these days, I hope to get there and take a tour of his. I despise war but I enjoy learning about the Civil War. Thank you for sharing, Stuff Writer!
Thanks Stuff Writter for taking the time to film Matt's Battle walks. I learn something new every time I watch.
Even over here in the UK, we've heard of Ranger Matt.
Omg!!! I can’t believe I missed this walk!!! Armistead with Matt!!!
Love seeing Matt's battle walks even after being to Gettysburg and walking the fields dozens of times.
Looking forward to the revelation of Little Round Top’s reopening. The last time we visited there was with my late father, shortly after his 90th birthday in the fall of 2017. He was still good for a fair bit of up and down and hiking about, enough to challenge this then sixty-something son.
He's having a beard!! Saw him last year in Gettysburg 160, without it . Great guide! The best. Was honored to be a his walk.
People should have More Respect and turn off the cell phones. Great tour Thanks Matt and StuffWriter
Glad to see Matt back!! The book was a delightful read Matt
Thank you so much for posting these! I’ve been so excited to see more by Matt. Matt is one of the best guides and teachers of history I’ve ever heard. (And I was a history major.). So thank you for all the effort you put into this and to Matt for embracing it and sharing his knowledge with us. 😊
Dat beard......

Looks good Matt.
Always get excited when I see a new Matt video!
Now you're just spoiling us. Thank you Mr mysterious stuff writer!
Great work capturing the rise of the ground through the walk, the defilade is there but it vanishes by the time you get to the final position. I cannot imagine attacking that way without direct support.
Like Hill 112 near Caen, the idea of the lives spent for such terrain leaves me with an abiding sorrow.
Thank you StuffWriter!!
Very cool to see another Stuffwriter video with Matt! I got to meet Ranger Matt in 2022 and he's the same on and off the camera. It's cool to see the videos but being there in person is the only way to truly see the battlefield.
Another outstanding job by Ranger Matt Atkinson...
Thank you Stuffwriter for putting these videos up of Ranger Matt Atkinson. It's like I'm there. I love listening to Matt's stories.
Outstanding - a New Matt video! And now with goatee too!! 😀
Fantastic battle walk.. I get goose bumps every time I hear the story of this action. Thank you!
Would really like to do this walk with Matt. Excellent presentation.
I love listening to Matt's stories. Learn something new every time. Cheers!
Another Matt masterpiece, thank you Mr Stuff Writer for sharing.
Thank you for another one.
To the amazing Matt and the amazing StuffWriter
Thank you stuffwriter, I learn more about our history with every video
Thank you as always for the knowledge , quality and asides that make this so incredible !
Why is that Longstreet quote “going in without Pickett is like going in with 1 boot off” so famous if Pickett’s division had been chilling the past year and growing their numbers?
Nice job Stuff Writer and Matt! Another great lecture tour for us who couldn’t be there. Thanks!
feeling spoiled another Walk :) Lets go :)
Outstanding job Matt
@StuffWriter delivers again! Thank you, Sir, from those of us who can't get there every year. My considered opinion is that Ranger Matt has been working on that goatee since December.
Another great video. Love you, Matt!
Ranger Matt Atkinson the Official/Unofficial voice of Gettysburg. He could describe making a PBJ or BLT with such pizzazz that would leave a peer in awe.
Love Matt he’s the best
That beard!!! How long has the beard been there?? I would love to challenge Matt as my favorite ranger to cover my beloved 1st Minnesota. Just to see him hem and haw and admit that them d*mn stubborn Swedes fought as valiantly as his Mississips! Love you Matt. And thank you Stuffwriter
1:42:53 “You gotta come up Lou, god damn they’re flanking us!”
Another great video - anyone know what the bird is singing at the copse?
Great men indeed
Gettysburg season. 😊
Matt is a cool cat
These walks on the battlefield can be very informative. It would be nice if when the speaker points to an area or is speaking about a particular area if the camera person would turn the camera on that area. We don’t need to constantly see the speaker or the audience. We would like to see the area being spoken about.
This particular video has been much better than in previous years but we still have a very limited view in many cases.
Where was cavery in the attack?
I'm a little confused he just said there was a trench by emmitsburg road that held over 500 dead confederate but then says a total of 499 killed on the battle numbers don't add up lol
Read that book.
Matt what the heck is that on your face lol
Miss it a gain
weird....
We here in Pa. don't like people bringing anything but American flags across our fields ! Then we had to send Sherman into Georgia with payback !
Dumb as hell
