Fantastic! Been in that field many times as I live near it only a couple hours away. However, now I can see it in a whole different way thank you for enhancing that experience.
Two of my Confederate ancestors who were in the 20th Georgia lnfantry Bennings brigade fought at Chickamauga A sad and a terrible affair for both sides Thanks for bringing about this program
I am Norwegian, but some of my ancestors imigrated to USA in 1857 and one of those son`s fougth and got capturded while figthing in the 15 Wisconsin reg, (pure Norwegian reg) He died in Andersonville prison, but the famely still live in St.Paul Minesota.
@@ProjectPast1565 as anicipated and expected James, I did enjoy it very much... still a confusing complicated battle no matter how you slice the pie. However, by the time your done with Chickamauga; I know I will have a better grasp and understanding of it ALL. The pieces of puzzle that you are giving will work. Again, my friend, you masterfully put it together to create the reality of the real moment at the real time... the sound effects and brief clips of re-enacting helps a ton BUT; two other poignant points to mention are 1. the touching moments and how you plant the memoral flag after describing the one of casualties you talk about; it's moving and presents the reality of what happened THERE... 2. You can't imagine how much it puts the viewer on the field with you when someone else videos you shooting and orating on site. I LOVE IT and wish you would do more... Seriously, it's an awesome technique of which you should take advantage of... a LOT more. It was excellent. Again, all the best to you and yours. God bless, your friendly Canuck friend, Carson
Always appreciate your support and your time watching my videos. It means a ton. This is a very confusing battle and my goal was to simplify it as much as possible while still being able to give details about the battle. I’m happy to hear you liked those additional shots!
Outstanding video. Watching you walk through that field and trees, the Union soldiers were at a disadvantage. Love how you get us, the viewers, right there. Thank you
One of my favorite videos of the series so far. Being from Kansas myself you did a great job showing the terrain in which they fought and just next to them the more open terrain. The maps and animations really brought it all together for me. Awesome video my friend !!!
@@DustinWiseM1 happy too hear that Dustin. It’s a very confusing part of the battlefield. Hope I was able to simplify it enough yet include details to learn from.
I have been regretting here lately, that I never kept all those battle maps from American Battlefield Trust has sent out. All those in a 3 ring binder organized would have been nice to have around n refer to.
My 4th great grandfather Michael Seaborn Cooley was the rank of 1st Corporal who stood at 6’3 was in the 6th Florida. I have another 2nd grandfather and two other 2nd great uncles who were in the 16th Tennessee Battalion (Neal’s Cavalry) that fought under Forrest which later turned under to Ruckers legion at Chickamauga. I fall in with the 7th Florida reenactment group so it is exciting hearing you go over all of this
That’s fantastic! I appreciate you sharing that. I’m drawn to the Florida units since this is where I was raised. I covered the Florida brigade at Gettysburg on my last trip there. I’ll be touching on the 1/3 Florida at some point in this series as well.
That’s great and you’re very welcome. I was there as well! I did a program with the 8th Florida for the 160th Gettysburg for the NPS and walked through the exact steps of the 8th. I had an awesome time doing that and I look forward for the future videos!
@@andybaker5466 thank you and I appreciate you watching. I have never found any on my travels. I also don’t look either. It is illegal to relic hunt on park service land.

I enjoy those additional shots as well 😉.

Thanks for watching! It’s always eye opening to see the terrain first hand. It really helps piece things together.

Great video. My great great grandfather was in this part of the battle (54th VA under Trigg).
Thanks! I appreciate you sharing your family’s story!
Premium Content my friend! This size of this battlefield just continues to amaze me. You do an excellent job of breaking down the areas. Great work!
Thanks buddy! It really is a massive battlefield. Thanks for watching.
Great job again! Appreciate the work you put into each presentation.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! I appreciate you.

They do sell a book with them in it from both theaters of the war. I bring them with me on my visits. They are a huge help!

@ShieldsMoney I remember coming across your camp at the 160th. We may have crossed paths there.
@@ProjectPast1565We might have! I hope to see you at the next Olustee reenactment in 2025 if you make it out there again
I’ll be there!
Well done Chickamauga is very interesting! Do you ever find any mini balls or belt buckles etc. along your journeys?
