- These 11 acres are some of the most important acres left to secure at Antietam. They were at the center of the surging attacks and counterattacks that defined the deadliest day in American history. We must quickly raise the funds needed to fill in this 11-acre hole in the battle map and ensure the Antietam Battlefield is intact and preserved. bit.ly/3TrXrsd
The American Battlefield Trust preserves America’s hallowed battlegrounds and educates the public about what happened there and why it matters. We permanently protect these battlefields for future generations as a lasting and tangible memorial to the brave soldiers who fought in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Civil War.
Let's grab these acres and preserve them forever!
Thanks as always!
Thank you Garry and Dennis for your dedication to the American Battlefield Association and the battle at Antietam.
Thanks for the enthusiastic and informative information about why this land must be saved and the land's impact as a "Turning Point"
And Antietam for me a US Army veteran, our bloodiest day is so important to me. Thanks guys
thanks guys and family
This is critical land! I have sent my money to help preserve this important tract. People, you all understand the tremendous work the American Battlefield Trust has performed for many years to save hallowed ground all over the country, so please consider donating. I am not working, of course, for ABT, but this is a golden opportunity to save these 11 acres not only for our generation, but for generations to come. Please give what you can to make this happen!
Awesome comment and thank you!
Thanks!
Fantastic, thank you !!
I had the tangible thrill of walking the battlefield (in 1996...!) and now I get to be part of the effort to save more of that ground. That's another tangible thrill for me...
I wish I lived closer to these battlefields. I would have loved to walk as many as possible. Nice job once again!
Great work team trust!
Was just here about three weeks ago and did a self guided driving tour. Enjoyed it quite a bit. I am sure i missed some things, but learned that the 11th CT (my home state) started the advance/assault on the Burnside Bridge. Very cool to get the perspective of what they faced.
If anyone is interested in a long day of battlefield touring, you could hit Harpers Ferry, South Mountain and this battlefield in the same day. And then 1.5 hours away is the Manasas battlefield(s).
Can’t wait to get back there again. Thanks 🙏
Bravo pour votre travail de préservation de l'histoire.
Salutations du Québec.
❤, this would be great to get more land covered by the Kershaw SC brigade. I say this since most of the other advance is covered by the Visitor Center!!
"Huge tracts of land" I see what you did there!
I knew someone would notice! GA
7:08 really encapsulates why groups such as the ABT are so important. Today it's difficult to imagine the West Woods looked this about 60-70 years ago.
Ive explored everywhere i possibly could around bloody lane and cornfield all aroun harpers and the other battlefields and grave yards im happy too see more preserved more americans need to learn about dunker church and France’s Scott keys and barbers frietchie
LOL I love it when Gary says "I'm not done yet!" 🤣
Man has a plan and a script!
He's dedicated to that performance practiced :-)
Still!
Awesome job Gary and Dennis! We have to save all of this ground. As much as we possibly can.
Thank you Garry, Dennis, and Andy for explaining this latest need. I donated to this request last week, and now understand more fully as to how important it is. Keep up the great work.
Thank you!
I kicked in a donation. I hope it helps. I want to visit Antietam again someday soon. The battlefield was closed due to a government shutdown when I came through the area 11 years ago. Hoping to retire soon and head back that way for another visit.
@@jimwilson7824 Every donation helps. Thanks so much!
Every piece of our battlefields should be preserved. I drove five weeks straight visiting American battlefields from Tennessee to Niagara, Saratoga to Virginia😮😊. Love our history
Excellent!
Great show.
My ancestor would of fought almost exactly on this spot as a company commander in the 72nd Pennsylvania. Thank you guys for preserving these plots of land. I was there last year for the first time and had a nice walk through West Woods and Philadelphia Brigade Park (I cant find any records, but my ancestor may have helped buy that land as he was president of the veterans organization that did.)
The Monty Python reference . . . Love it, Garry.
Just sent my $50. Keep up the great work!
✌
Thanks for the video. Glad to see more land preservation. That is a easy one to help out with ABT. Look forward to walking there someday.
Thanks to, as always, ABT and their donors.
I really want to volunteer and help somehow in this organization.
DENNIS FRYE!!!
How can I help Dennis, I’m an Illinoisan combat vet who moved to your area recently. I have yet to visit Antietam. As an Illinoisan, I’m in hog heaven, o call this sort of the country. The “old country” I’ve already found 4 sets of grandparents in Winchester Virginia buried and one has real tight closeness to General Daniel Morgan. He also created a descendant of one of my grandfathers that was part of Ashbys 7th Calvary , army of the Shenandoah valley .i share the host intensity lol and passion
An idea just popped in to my head. When the trust acquires land - after you make trails and interpretive markers - why not also include a upscale campground - as a long term funding source for the trust???
camping is not what national military parks are about. They are to returned to their OG look so we can proper understand the battle
McClellan. Such a moron, kept a whole in reserve when he could have ended the Eastern theatre.
The Poffenbergers have arrived! 🤍
