My grandson and his Mom live in Munfordville. I have been there many times and only became aware of the battlefield within the last year. Your video has been a strong motivator to visit the battlefield the next time I visit. I will also make a stop at Lincoln's birthplace which is also nearby.
I visited the battlefield a few years ago. Wish I could have seen this before my visit. My ancestor was part of the 60th Indiana that surrendered. Thanks!
I would love to go back to Munfordville, KY and check all this out again! We drove up from Nashville about 10 years ago or so, for the reenactment Battle of Munfordville, and really enjoyed it. Thanks to the American Battlefield Trust, and all the other local historical & private groups for their efforts in preserving much needed history.
I'm gonna be taking part in the reenactment there this weekend and that is where my commanding officer for my reenactment group is from and he's told me all about the battle Edit: crazy part is my commander's name is major Robert Smith the same name of colonel Robert Smith who was mortally wounded in the battle
From what I understand the Seymour folks have closed off the core portion of the battlefield to the public. Don't know the reasons, but to not have access to this area is a shame.
My spouse’s great great grandmother’s only sibling, William H. Graham, was killed during the first charge on the morning of September 14, 1862. He was in the 10th Mississippi.
I visited there about 25 years ago and you could actually visit what's left of Fort Craig and the Mississippi monuments right next to the RR tracks. And there's a war time house opposite where this guy is taking
Come and check out the area and visit. The Battles for the Bridge event is held every September during the 2nd weekend. If you would like a tour please contact the museum.
Interesting to see this site. Colonel R.A.Smith's niece, Harriet Dudley Smith married my G. Grandfather George Reid Ure, which makes Robert my G.G.G. Uncle. Maybe one day I might visit Munfordville from Australia.
This is painful to watch. The pregnant pauses are so contrived, they are completely empty. Also having arty on every hill around a single location of one town in a major campaign is NOT a STRATEGIC victory. Strategy is much bigger than a few hills.
Great video and story about Wilder and Buckner!

I would like to continue my visits to these battlefield sites. I live in Canada so I am Covid 19 bound.

Hysterical intro.
You did not show the battlefield. The battlefield is located at 810 Rush Island Bend Road.
If you make it to Central Missouri, consider covering the Centralia Massacre. I would be proud to host if necessary.
Had more than a dozen relatives in this battle. Co. B Bogue Chitto Guards 7th Ms. High Pressure Brigade of Chalmers.

Just two weeks before over 4000 troops surrendered at Richmond, Kentucky, so there was a precedent.
When and will y'all make any videos on the civil war battlefields in new Mexico?the gettysburg of the west.
Any update on a Hart County "Battle of Munfordville" tour map?
