So amazing these young men gave it all to preserve their ideology! Many say it is sad, but the men on both sides wouldn't take back their actions because they loved their nation.
Dennis i can't say enough about what you and your associates have done to preserve these precious Battle Fields from encroachment by developers. I've never been to any of these sites, but I get a clearer picture of what took place there by watching these videos. Thank you so much.
This is one of the best ABT videos I’ve seen. All presenters explained their topics extremely well. I have a better understanding now of the battlefield thanks to ABT. Keep up the great work.
Antietam is one of my favorite battlefields to visit as as well. Sorry I can't make it this year so I'm enjoying your coverage today. Hope to walk that hallowed ground again.
Here in Ulster County, NY, we remember the service and sacrifices of the 20th NYSM (aka 80th NYV) who were engaged while serving with Patrick's Brigade. And a company of Kingston men also served with the 102nd NY as part of Greene's Brigade. Always enjoy these ABT videos. Thanks.
I'm passionate about history in general, but it's so sad thinking of all the men wounded and killed as you describe the action! I am a monthly supporter of the American Battlefield Trust, and appreciate all that y'all do.
As always, these videos are incredible! I’m so thankful for all you do. Especially nice to see younger generations becoming involved-Evan and Kevin are extremely eloquent and classy additions! All of you guys are wonderful. ❤️
And away we go! Great stuff and looking forward to seeing ore during the day. Just FYI, this is the best audio and video I have seen from you guys. Well done all!
Awesome coverage. It was an honour to meet and have a chat with Gary at the LR event on the Reel Farm today. Keep up the outstanding work you do in securing hallowed ground for future generations to study and enjoy. P & J, London, Ontario
Today is the 160th anniversary of one of the most bloodiest day of combat in the American civil war. Every famed unit on both sides had their baptism of fire that day: From the Iron brigade, Confederate General Hood's division, the Irish Brigade, many strategic areas of the battlefield where the fighting was brutal and drenched in blood: Among them the Confederate center which was on a sunken road which later became known as Bloody Lane. The cornfield, which changed hands so many times, to the fight for Burnside's bridge. The Bloodiest day is a appropriate name for this battle.
I feel you folks missed an excellent opportunity to film on location the many acres of land preserved, by you, at Frostown Gap and Foxes Gap for the 160th anniversary of South mountain. Thank you for all that you do!
My great great grandfather fought with the Reveres and Holmes in the 20th Mass, the Harvard regiment. He enlisted as a 42 yo in April 1862 and fought with them until wounded at Cold Harbor and mustered out in 1864. That regiment had the fifth highest casualty rate in the union army. William Gartland of County Tyrone, Ireland.
According to the Elliot burial map of Antietam, there was a rebel entrenchment running parallel to the Hagerstown Pike. The entrenchment started near the Smoketown Road and extended northward for an unspecified distance along the pike and a few yards from the east side of the pike.
This is Sooo.... important to learn..no matter what the...❄❄❄ 's, say...there would have been no Emancipation Proclamation without Antietam.... Robert Could Shaw.... Awesome....didn't realize he was there .....THAT is why you study battles....not OBJ...a learning experience...

2:10 source on corn height? I’ve always heard the old corn types were much less tall and planted less dense than field corn today As in like chest/chin height back then, avg height was ~5’8”, not near 6ft
There is nothing like this in Belgium. I know a ton of battles have taken place in Belgium, since we are a centerpoint in old europe. Medieval warfare, 30 year war, 80 year war, french wars, first en second worldwar, much more battlefields then you can possibly find in the us, but our history seems not to be interested in it. Even Waterloo! I know Waterloo. But i know there is more knowlede with the tourists than with the belgians. A cultural thing i gelieve.

Well Done as usual. Three Huzzahs and a Rebel Yell for all of you!
Dennis Frye. I could listen to that man all day long. H's sooo good.
So happy you have Dennis Frye back on!
yes! More Frye is usually good, more Dennis Frye is always good!
thanks 😀
I'm really glad that the corn field didn't fall in the hands of some project developer that would have turned it into a MacDonald restaurant.
Thanks guys, great clip.
Wish I could make it this weekend, Dennis is a legend!

Hello guys ... watched an old History Channel vid last week with a young Gary Adleman ... time flies ... excellent work as usual
I have studied this battle for 20 years. I will never know it all and thus am still learning more all the time
This is one of the best ABT videos I’ve seen. All presenters explained their topics extremely well. I have a better understanding now of the battlefield thanks to ABT. Keep up the great work.
Dennis Frye is a national treasure.
Great to hear!
Thanks!

Appreciate your work in outlining the battle. Very informative.

My great grandfather would have been with McLaws division in the west woods, but he was severely wounded at Crampton's Gap the day before.

With a little imagination, you can visualize the battle, as they describe it.
Why is Dennis holding the garage door opener?

Used car salesman. Talks a lot. Says nothing.
Well Done as usual. Three Huzzahs and a Rebel Yell for all of you!
