Couple tips for your geoguessr videos, that you might find helpful if you see this. If you click ahead of you, and can't get it to work, try the arrows that show up instead of clicking ahead, just to get you going in the right direction. For example at 4:54, you tried to click up to the sign to no avail, but there was an arrow pointing in that direction, so clicking that may have helped you see the sign better. Also, the map can enlarge further if necessary, there are arrows on it to enlarge and minimize it. Hope this helps :)
Perhaps you were just looking for an excuse to show us how awesome your knowledge of Civil War battlefields is? Haha, just kidding, keep up the great work :)
16:53 Me: seeing a road and a field. Nothing that tells me anything Vlogging Through History: "That's Shiloh" Me: If he recognized Shiloh from that. That would be just insane. Vlogging Through History: "Holy cow, 60 yards"
This combines my favorite thing on TH-cam (Geoguessr videos) with my other favorite thing on TH-cam (historical videos). Hope you do more of these, it's a really cool idea!
16:21 Lee was at Arlington house as executor of his father in laws will, for which he was on leave from his Texas post. Since he was so close to Washington, DC he got summoned when news of the raid reached Washington. The Marines were the only available forces for him to take to Harper's Ferry.
Your video gave me goosebumps seeing all these battlefields, which made me remember a trip that My Dad organized that brought us to multiple civil war battlefields and points of interest in Virginia with my Mom, Brother and I. We started in Harper's Ferry and went through Bull Run, Antietam, Fredricksburg, WIlderness, Appomattox, Petersburg and a bunch more. The 2 biggest things about the trip that I will never forget were that A) My dad had actually mapped it out to the point where, we were literally going to all of these sites in chronological order, even if it meant coming back to he area later to see a battle that took place close to each other and B) We got to go to Cold Harbor which, for one, felt so much like a precursor to World War 1 (Petersburg as well with the mines), but also we got there soon after they had just put up a memorial plaque for the Connecticut 2nd Volunteer Heavy Artillery Regiment. Being from CT, and knowing the story beforehand since it was one of the reasons I wanted to go see the Battlefield in the first place, it was just such an emotional thing to see. Thanks for the video and keep them up!
You could immediately tell it was Harper's Ferry from the fact that it's completely surrounded by those huge mountains. People wonder why the "Harper's Ferry Cowards" surrendered...if you don't have control of that high ground what else are you going to do?
This is so great, I already know much of the geography of the bigger Civil War battles just thanks to your videos, and now I get some lesser known battles to go with that!
Antietam stands out as the most poignant of the battlefields I've personally visited, from the shock of the displayed bayonets bent into hooks to pull the corpses at the visitor's center to the beauty of Burnside's Bridge and the "Witness Tree" to the sincere but absurd McKinley "Coffee" monument it is very well laid out.
It's crazy how these kinds of knowledge becomes long term memory once you store them inside your brain's storage. I had a chauffeur, who used to be a taxi driver for 15 years, when I was still in school. He knows the route of Jakarta inside out and knows every nook and cranny of every shortcuts and small roads. I did a game with him where I open Google Earth and asked him what road is being shown on the street view and he got it 8-9/10 everytime. The human brain is interesting.
Love this content, it’s a fun way to learn some new things about history especially if you weren’t born in the US. If you are doing them on stream, it would be nice to see the vod uploaded to TH-cam for those of us who weren’t there or don’t use the platform.
Chris, you are way better than me. Been to Gettysburg (perhaps six times or more), Shiloh, See Lookout Mountain , Stone Mountain, Perryville, Vicksburg, Antietam, Harpers Ferry, Kennesaw Mountain, Chickamauga, First Bull Run, Columbus/Belmont, Charleston, Atlanta and Appomattox. But maybe other than Gettysburg, I couldn't any one of them by their streets!
i've been to Wilsons creek a lot because its only around 20 minutes from my home, i knew it as soon as those overlooks with the signs showed up. Its a great place i would recommend it and especially the ray house
Never been to Lookout Mountain but got that one. Have been within view (100 yds) of the spot at Fort Donalson many times as I travelled back and forth from Ft Crumble, Hoptown, and AZ.
I actually am from Checotah, Oklahoma so it funny seeing honey springs pop up. Our school would do field trips down there to see some of the reenactment stuff and buy souvenirs (got some videos and a lot of maps and stuff from my various visits). It’s was a really fun thing to do later in the Fall semester. Also yeah Carrie Underwood is from here and does a bunch of stuff for the town and school from time to time although less recently from what I’ve noticed.
It was cool to see John browns raid. As a Kansan. He was weird. He also has a huge mural in our state capitol. And the person who painted it is buried in my tiny village of 400 people.
The area at the Chattanooga battlefield shown is not at point park and is halfway up the mountain. The area is craven’s house and I believe the monument is the Ohio monument. Also got to go to fort Donelson, Andersonville, and most recently stones river. I was the project engineer over both the paving jobs at the battlefields for the Federal Highway Administration the last few years.
Hey, from one History teacher to another, if you're ever near Richmond, VA, there are tons of battlefields worth touring, plus Hollywood Cemetery. I live where the Battle of Seven Pines/Fair Oaks took place.
@@VloggingThroughHistory In the few weeks of the year where the humidity isn't 100%, I take my dogs for walks around Cold Harbor, Malvern Hill, Fort Harrison and others. I've even gotten down to Drewry's Bluff and City Point. The latter two have some phenomenal scenery. When you want to take in the riverine aspect of the war.
Would be rad to see you do a video about the early battles in Southwest Missouri. We have an insane amount of civil War history that really never gets talked about. My sister's property was a medical camp and a rock wall at the end of it was built then to protect it. Pretty cool.
Holy crap I saw your last guess & immediately knew it was Fredericksburg- I grew up there and used to drive Sunken Road to get to work. I actually once forgot where I parked after a party nearby there, and then later found it literally right at that very intersection, no joke- it was too much of a coincidence I was obliged to share.
Hey Chris, didn't know how to message besides here; anyway there is a documentary series on TH-cam that was made years ago called "The Men who killed Kennedy". Don't know if you have seen it, as each part is over an hour long, but, it is incredibly in depth on the background of Oswald, Jack Ruby; explores the Warren Commission Report, and barely stops at all out saying it was a conspiracy. I'd love to see a reaction with that series, and it would be a LOT of content for your channel!
This book I read about death in the civil war talked about when the soldiers returned to the old battlefields(where they were to fight on again) found that there were still bodies left unburied. Some still decaying, some skeletons.
I’m from Oklahoma and went to a reenactment at Honey springs as a Boy Scout with my troop. It was awesome. I think it was the 150th anniversary of the battle when I went.
"it's rated as hard, so should be interesting" proceeds to guess the correct location within the first few seconds from starting location just looking at the dirt (all but the Carolina one)
I think Duluth has something to do with the lost confederate gold since in 1861 the governor of MN was in DC, lincolns guard and one of the first regiments of northern troops in the Civil War. So I think that road is the old army road leading to the capitol.
I too had a relative at Fort Donelson. When you do head to Fort Donelson let me know I live in Clarksville Tn not far from the Fort. I can take you to the unit’s locations.
Check out some of the Gettysburg geoguessr maps - there's a really good one with over 100 locations and is genuinely battlefield related as opposed to the town of Gettysburg ;-)
That's neat. I love the Civil War. What I need to do is read and learn about the French and Indian War and war of 1812 more since not much else happened around Erie.
Really enjoyed this video and hearing the information you gave us on each of the battlefields! Hope you do more of these! Also do you stream on TH-cam or off another app?
VTH might not be first place but if you pay attention to the stats he did it the quickest and was still in top 3, notice how the person who came first took 24 minutes while VTH went through it in 4
Awesome content as always VTH! You should check out Dragon man’s channel and his museum of military artifacts in Colorado Springs would love to see your takes and reactions
I'm going to Harper's Ferry, Gettysburg and Antietam Sept.10 - 17, 3 nights in Harper's Ferry, 3 Nights in Gettysburg and 2 Nights in Antietam for the 160th anniversary. I'm so excited for it!!!
Hey Chris, great vid as always. You should react to Billy Joel's "We didn't start the fire". You should have copyright issues as long as you pause every now and then, or change the song's pitch a little bit. Have a great week!
WW1 battlefields
"Ah yes, this is a field filled with holes from artillery."
Clicks French-Belgian border
This is gold!

Vlogging Through History: "That's Shiloh"
Me: If he recognized Shiloh from that. That would be just insane.
Vlogging Through History: "Holy cow, 60 yards"
I’ve only been there once but I recognized that as the area not far from where my ancestor fought with the 20th Ohio
Holy cow this is the best crossover since No Way Home.. love your vids and love GeoGuessr!! Great content idea 👍
Alec watches VTH👀👀👀 Big fan of you both!

This is so great, I already know much of the geography of the bigger Civil War battles just thanks to your videos, and now I get some lesser known battles to go with that!
Definitely not flexing your Civil War nerdiness 😂😂 Good going, Chris Sir. Thanks for the great content!
This was awesome I drove down Hill Ewell yesterday, I live right in Orange County and go into Spotsylvania all the time since I work in Fredericksburg
Imagine tryna get high scores in this category then VTH comes by takes three minutes and shits on your score 💀💀💀
😂
Antietam stands out as the most poignant of the battlefields I've personally visited, from the shock of the displayed bayonets bent into hooks to pull the corpses at the visitor's center to the beauty of Burnside's Bridge and the "Witness Tree" to the sincere but absurd McKinley "Coffee" monument it is very well laid out.
This was incredible, my other favorite TH-camr is Geowizard. Awesome work!
My grandmother's house was right across the street from Yellow Tavern, know exactly where that the JEB Stuart memorial is
You came 3rd but also had the fastest time out of all of them so well done.
Great video from you once again! The way you're making content is really motivating me to learn even more about history in general.
It's crazy how these kinds of knowledge becomes long term memory once you store them inside your brain's storage.

Agreed! It's nice to get a Quick view of how everything looks
Chris, you are way better than me. Been to Gettysburg (perhaps six times or more), Shiloh, See Lookout Mountain , Stone Mountain, Perryville, Vicksburg, Antietam, Harpers Ferry, Kennesaw Mountain, Chickamauga, First Bull Run, Columbus/Belmont, Charleston, Atlanta and Appomattox. But maybe other than Gettysburg, I couldn't any one of them by their streets!
The Fort was Fort Fisher in NC, there's a museum but the Fort is unfortunately underwater
i've been to Wilsons creek a lot because its only around 20 minutes from my home, i knew it as soon as those overlooks with the signs showed up. Its a great place i would recommend it and especially the ray house
this is like watching a master at work, love it

Idk if its just me, but your accuracy on these is impressive.
It's because it's the Civil War. It's been a historical obsession of mine since childhood.
@@VloggingThroughHistory Lee led marines in Harper's Farry.

This is a very cool idea
I hiked to Harpers fary one time wasn't aware it was a battlefield we just ate lunch and left.
Have you ever been to the Kennessaw Mountian Battlefield in GA? Such a beautiful array of walking trails, views, and historical monuments.
Awesome video idea! I love seeing other people's knowledge on things they're passionate about.
It was cool to see John browns raid. As a Kansan. He was weird. He also has a huge mural in our state capitol. And the person who painted it is buried in my tiny village of 400 people.
This wasn’t the crossover I was expecting… fantastic!

Just saw part 2 came out as I was watching this. Keep up the good work Chris 👍
Hope you’re having a great day Chris! Keep up the great content
Thanks Ryan. Hope you have a great one too.
Hey, from one History teacher to another, if you're ever near Richmond, VA, there are tons of battlefields worth touring, plus Hollywood Cemetery. I live where the Battle of Seven Pines/Fair Oaks took place.
I’ve got videos here on the channel from Hollywood Cem and Cold Harbor. Still have to get to the others.

Keep these up! Love your input on these locations when you figure it out
Want to see more geoguesser!
Me too!! 👍
Geowizard Collab, straight line mission across Old battlefields
This kinda stuff is really cool. Those old WWI battlefields and trenches interest me and I would love to go to Europe to see them one day.
Would be rad to see you do a video about the early battles in Southwest Missouri. We have an insane amount of civil War history that really never gets talked about. My sister's property was a medical camp and a rock wall at the end of it was built then to protect it. Pretty cool.

If you go on the Harpers Ferry/Antietam trip, stop by Hagerstown. i volunteer at the roundhouse museum
Really wasn't expecting to hear you mention Kennesaw Mountain, let alone so quickly!

Congrats on 300k Chris!
I’m from Oklahoma and went to a reenactment at Honey springs as a Boy Scout with my troop. It was awesome. I think it was the 150th anniversary of the battle when I went.
Wow, I had no idea this category of GeoGuessr existed, that’s awesome! Please do more
Great content as always. Love your videos
unconditional surrender grant hey thats a cool nickname right ?
Lol
WOW thank you for reading my comment! One of my favorite youtube channels that i discoverd in 2022. Keep it up VTH
This was really fun to watch! I hope you do more :)
What a great series this would be - but with more diverse topics.

Entertaining and really informative. Cool to see just how much you know.

I’d love to see more of this content!
I would really enjoy this with battlefields from other wars too! 😁
Loved it. You were impressive btw. Doing a livestream with You picking the sites could be fun if its not too fast-moving chatting.
Love your videos man , I hope one day I can visit those battlefields too.
Your nonchalant attitude while being an absolute genius is wild
I love your content, even in geoguessr videos i can learn so much.

Awesome video. Hope you do more of these for the channel!
Brilliant idea. Really enjoyed watching.
I did Antietam and harpers ferry at the same time great trip very close together.
That was unexpected but welcome.
I went to harpers ferry as a kid but my sister and i played in the Shenandoah river the whole time while my dad looked around the town
I like it. Especially that you do not try to max points and do them rather quickly.
I enjoyed this WAY more than I thought I would
This is a series we all need
At the 2:47 mark of the video, it looked like you were centered right on the US Regulars Monument, on Hancock Ave.
Chris, I can't believe you didn't recognize the Codori barn on the Emmitsburg road. Cool game, I'm gonna try this.
Yeah that's how I knew it was Gettysburg I've been on that road maybe a dozen times
I've been to Fort Donelson. Lots of bees there lol.
300k so deserved!
How is Fort Sumter hard mode? It stands out like a sore thumb like Cemetery Hill in Gettysburg
