  • Ranger Matt Atkinson leads a battle walk covering the actions of Alfred Iverson and Edward O'Neal's brigades on July 1.
    Note: A major heat wave resulted in the walk being done entirely in the shade on Oak Hill for visitor safety.
    Ranger Atkinson and the NPS hold the rights to the notes and lecture.

    Thank you for all the videos posted. Matt Atkinson presents the information of the battle so well that anyone who listens, can gain knowledge of the battle. As a dedicated member of the American Battlefield Trust. It is very nice to see the younger generations on our battlefields. Only through them can these battlefields be remembered in such a way that countless generations to come can benefit through it's understanding.

    Thank you stuffwriter and Matt... The question I am left asking myself is this: If Rhoades was such a competent commander, Why did he order an attack into the face of withering cannon fire? Because he had ordered his troops to hide from said cannonade, by withdrawing into the woods they would have to leave to make this attack???

    • @palibrae
      @palibrae 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's "Rodes"...but can you name one Civil War commander who did not order a frontal attack against artillery? Iverson and O'Neal had their attacks broken by infantry fire, by the way.

      I guess everyone should just stay at home and watch television. I swear people are so pampered today they think anything with even a remote amount of any danger shouldn't be done. How about we just plaster everyone in Kevlar to make sure everyone is perfect safe? I have no idea how these tours are any more dangerous than people getting out of their cars and walking the battlefield or should people just sit in air conditioned busses and view everything out of a window?
