So far loving the 159th Gettysburg videos and the special “guest ‘ stars! Looking forward to tomorrow, and let’s donate durning the live streams! Show our appreciation to all who provide us with these great live streams and videos
I just wanna say a huge thank you to Gary and the whole team for creating these wonderful informative videos, going to the actual sites and creating this immersive experience! It may not be said enough but as a history geek from across the ocean I enjoy all of your content very much. Kindest regards from Nijmegen, the Netherlands 👋
Great spot! The 2nd Va Infantry Company D was sent across Rock Creek on the 2nd day. It became the extreme right of the Confederate lines for a while until they were recalled. Thanks for bringing up anything to do with Culp’s Hill !
Also is there a schedule when you plan on live streaming online? Like the Aerosmith song “ I don’t want to miss a thing” , I really don’t want to miss the the live streams this weekend. I took off work, unpaid to watch.
No, we tried that. People find out where we are and disrupt our shooting. So we absolutely do not share this information. Happily, you won’t “miss a thing“ because all of it stays up there after we shoot. 😀
Please turn up the sound on your end (like to 11). I had my chromebook on the highest setting and could not hear you at the site where of my ancestors fought and gave his life, Orderly Sergeant John Seiple Co. F 153d Pennsylvania. An Orderly Sergeant is like a modern day First Sergeant and wore a 'diamond' on his sergeants chevron. Thank you for visiting a less visited location.
It makes me wish I still had the old board game which played at a rate of about two turns an hour if you were able to shut the world out for a week and fudged on the stacks of unit counters and casualty modifications, but that was what?,, The 70's? Great presentations, thanks so much.
When I was in graduate school in 1992 I wrote a fictional story about a soldier in the 153rd PA who was determined to redeem their reputation after Chancellorsville, and who fought behind Rock Creek on July 1. This is uncanny for me. Brilliant video. Thank you.
Rock Creek and Marsh Creek are the two main waterflows around Gettysburg, flowing north to south, with all the smaller creeks and 'runs' flowing into one of them. Rock Creek flows into Marsh Creek south of Gettysburg, then Marsh Creek flows into the Monacasy further south, which then flows into the Potomac and then into Chesapeake Bay.
Barlow, a hard driving general, and very good, but xenophobic against German Americans, including those in his Division. His racist disdain for them is revealed in personal letters. His decision to occupy Barlow's Knoll was a blunder. He later would get praise for his breakthrough attack at Spotsylvania, Virginia, in May, 1864.
Thank you for this. Glad to see the boys of the XI Corps treated with respect and a deeper understanding of their circumstances. I particularly follow the 107th Ohio from Barlow's brigade.
The history of the involvement of the regts, 153pa vol INF some were 9 months, and emergency regiments, we do make blanket statements..the 11 th Corps fought valiantly, yes Brian and Sarah are awesome! The the 55th NY state vol INF?
Lost one captured, one ran home from The Wheatfield, (both Stahlman’s, 153rd). The one captured, his war was over. The one who ran was in major battles for the rest of the war.
Glad to see the variety of narrators and experts. So many people are fascinated with the battles and history-not just white men (no disparagement intended!).

@@AmericanBattlefieldTrust I understand and thanks for replying
I had an ancestor, Reuben Faust, serve in the 153rd Pennsylvania, it's cool to see where he would have fought.

Learned something knew just now. I never knew about the 9 month enlistment.
Well done. Thank you.
Great job, Gary, Sarah and Bryan!
👊🏼🤠
That marker may be “lost in the woods”, but they are not forgotten!
Yes I’ve been there!

Great presentations, thanks so much.
"A Most Fearful Sacrifice" is a brand new Gettysburg game by Flying Pigs.
We were just rolling sixes in our sleep ya know?
How was the pay compared to wages in civilian life? Was it a good inducement? How did North/ South play compare?
Wow Sara is beautiful pretty good being a ranger too
There was a '7th corps' at the battle?
I don't believe there was a formation called VII Corps in either army at Gettysburg, no.
No. No seventh corps. Garry said that there were seven infantry corps at Gettysburg for the Union which is true.
My Great Great Uncle served with the 43rd NY Infantry. Monument is on Niel ave, also known as lost ave. Love to see coverage of their story

Is it published? Sounds great
@@chuglyc Nope. Never tried. Just tucked it away. It was mainly practice for research.

American battlefield trust I have tried to find this monument during my last two visits to G'burg. Is there a path? If so, where?
My grandfather did not fight in the battle. He was never in the army and he was born 50 years after the battle.
Did most of the union soldiers that enlisted for 9 months leave or re enlist I love to see those numbers
Been there. With you!
Sarah is great!
Thanks Thanks again
Great job!!! Thank you!!
Thank you all

I have been there
I love finding out about the "obscure" places on the battlefield. I will definately be heading to this area. Every place is important.
DEO VINDICE!
