Gary. I life about a half mile from second Manassas I enjoyed your video and learned a lot of new stuff. Keep up the great work. Well Done.
You are much calmer and easier to follow when you’re by yourself 👍🏻😁great video
Gary, thank you for your time, knowledge and enthusiasm for our history! Another great video from ABT. Definitely one of my favorite TH-cam channels!
Garry
This is one of your best videos , when you walk the land it give you the feeling of being there.
Thank you
Thanks Gary for another great video!!! Hope to visit Manassas one day! Hope to meet you one day too! Thanks Again to Gary and ABT for all you do to preserve our hallowed ground! PRESERVE OUR BATTLEFIELDS 🇺🇸
Thank you Gary and crew for a great tour of our battlefield. I deeply appreciate yall's efforts.
Fantastic! Loved the walking tour. Thank you so very much!
I enjoyed walking both 1st and 2nd battles of Manassas. They are my favorite battlefields.
Gary,
Thank you for your work. Your fans including me love it. Be safe out there.
Sincerely,
Nikita
Excellent. I am coupling readings of the SHELBY FOOTE CIVIL WAR SERIES & THE PHOTOGRAPHIC HISTORY OF THE CIVIL WAR Vol.1.
I have been waiting for something like this to give me better insight as I read along. Thank you, Garry & Trust.
Gary your enthusiasm is infectious. I'm sprinting to support the ABT after binging a pile of videos. A million thanks
It's a great battlefield and a fantastic park, both for hiking and learning about history. I've been there dozens of times, ever since I was a young child
Was there for the 150th. Wow...that 10 yrs went fast!! Great job Gary!!! Luv this channel.
Thanks for posting, just a few weeks ago I was there walking the first Manassas trail, what a workout. Now I need to go back and follow your footsteps
Thanks for the shout out to the engagement at Brawner farm Saturday. It was an absolute blast and I hope other battlefields look to use this idea for their anniversaries. Excellent turnout and so much fun!
Thanks Gary for the tour. My wife and I were there in 2018 and needless today, we missed alot of the battlefield you showed us today.
Thank you Garry. I've walked the battlefield in years past, not as thoroughly as you have just done. Lots of new information in this presentation. Thanks again.
Tom
11 miles! I don’t know how you did it! This gem is in my neighborhood and I do bits and pieces at a time!
What a trek. Thanks for taking us on the trail with you.
This is great! Thank you for constantly uploading material. I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos
I was just there this past Saturday! It was awesome
I am so glad that you are showing us this battlefield and explaining what happened here. My first family member, from my Dad's side of the family, fought for the union army and was killed in this battle.
GARY!! I just moved to this area! So bummed I didnt get to see you guys this trip.
Another amazing educational video! Thanks so much.
Gary, you'd pass any runner's "Talk Test". I admire your endurance and dedication!
Great tour.
I grew up in Manassas and have walked that field many times. Thanks for what you do and never stop! It happened and no matter what people want to change about it, it's part of our history.
Thank you for doing this. I’m so privileged to have grown up next to and explored these fields all my life.
You got your steps in! Love the episode, 5 stars to Gary for going above and beyond for bringing us this video.
Excellent video and thanks Gary and ABT for all your work
Thank you Gary for this wonderful and informative video of the 2nd Manassas. I visited the battlefield in the summer of '92, almost exactly thirty years ago. I was still relatively young- in my late thirties- and able to spend the entire day hiking about on a hot day. I searched in vain at the time for Brawner's Farm. Having read several first-hand accounts of the battle, I really wanted to see the area up close but got a bit lost instead.
One of the accounts is in a book I bought at the time titled The Iron Brigade. The Brawner's Farm battle was described in great detail in one chapter. Jackson's men were both stunned and impressed by the stubbornness of the Wisconsin and Michigan boys. They shot each other at nearly point blank for over an hour until it was too dark to aim.
Please do more of these Gary
As a person who will never “walk” this battlefield…thank you. If you’re interested in learning more information about the battle, John Hennessy’s book: “Return to Bull Run, The Campaign and Battle of Second Manassas” is a great book. I own it and love the description with lots of good maps. Thank you, Garry, for all the great work that you and the Trust do.
Thanks Gary for this tour 👍
Thanks Gary ... always a pleasure to get some of your knowledge and analysis ... we're all indebted to you and others for the preservation efforts ... I visited back in the 1979-80 and a young man and wondered how long the battlefield sites would last with development
Excellent hike! I was following along with the ABT maps and was fatigued just watching how far Garry was walking. He surely is the hardest working man in Preservation!
That's quite a walk you did! Manassas is probably my favorite battlefield. They take such great care of all the trails and monuments.
Thank you for that great video,outstanding.
Thank you Garry! This was awesome!!
Hardly anyone out on the battlefield. Love it. Manassas is my wife's favorite battlefield due to the terrain and preservation but mostly because you get 'Two for one' as she likes to say. Thanks for showing that and giving us an idea as to how long that hike was. Nice going. I have to think that it was a very hot day to hike that distance.
This is the most beautiful battlefield next to Gettysburg. I can’t imagine walking the whole thing in four hours. Thank you for the amazing video:👍♥️😃
Chattanooga/Chickamauga is beautiful as well.
The Great Garry Adelman and crew of serious historians.
An amazing walking tour! Thank you Garry, for all you've given us.
Really glad we got a 2d Bull Run 160 video. For anyone wanting to read up on this battle & the Northern Virginia campaign of 1862 I can’t recommend John Hennessy’s Return to Bull Run book enough. One of my favorite ACW books and a fascinating account of a battle that doesn’t get enough coverage IMO.
Thank you, Garry...you are much appreciated!
Great video Gary. I have never been there and have only some rudimentary knowledge of either battle. But the fact that you traversed that much of the field in that time is impressive in itself.
Another brilliant video from ABT.
In 1979 I flew a Hang Glider down the hill behind the Stone House and got in some trouble. In winter it is the greatest place to toboggan & sled. I have hiked and ridden on horseback over every inch of that National Park. As Manassas was my boyhood home, it's a place that is near and dear to my heart.
I am a Manasshole.
Thanks for the video. I got to visit Manassas earlier this year but did not get to around to the area of Longstreet's attack starting position. I'm glad I went to the battle site for I have three direct ancestors who fought at the second battle: one in 17th SCV of Evans' Brigade, one in the 6th SCV of Jenkins Brigade of Kemper Division and one in 12th SCV of Gregg Brigade of A.P. Hill Division. In a brief statement of interest for the Diary of David Jackson Logan, F Company of 17th SCV, "Our Brigade charged over the Texan Brigades of Gen. Hood and driving in the "Fire Zouaves" of Brooklyn fell with tremendous force upon the main body of the enemy, driving them back but in doing so the contest was terrible." He ended up being wounded during the assault.
i loved the walk (and wish I could still do that) and it showed the tight space of the battlefield
I was reading a book about the history of the civil war today and landed on learning about this battle today, on the 160th anniversary no less. I find it amusing that Pope had to eat his words after cockily sending word to Washington that he crushed the enemy. Crazy this could have been a turning point for the confederacy yet we know how it ended. Thanks for the wonderful breakdown, I'm glad someone on TH-cam was documenting it on its anniversary.
Thank you Garry! Wow, an excellent effort and a wonderful detailed explanation, sir.
I walked the combined trail early last Sunday morning, was rather surprised to see union "troops" unexpectedly arriving in the fields. Together with the noise from the nearby shooting range, it was kind of, well, evocative. Nice tour, wish I knew as much.
Excellent, thanx
Outstanding video!
I am so grateful for the Preservationist
Thank you 👍
Thank you!
Great video! The equipment seems to be getting better; not that it was bad before but this really looks great! A lot of good info here. I would loved to have seen an ABT map as well as the overhead map just to get my bearings.
Outstanding presentation! As a distance runner myself, I’m wondering what your mileage was that day? Did you wear a Garmin?
I used the Relive app. GA
The sheer weight of Civil War knowledge packed into heads of guys like Garry Adelman. Sometimes I'm amazed that they can even stand up straight.
SAVE OUR BATTLEFIELDS AMERICA 🇺🇸
The second battle of Manassas Bull Run was much more brutal than the first one.
Thankyou Gary. Great hike great video
GARY MY GREAT GREAT GRANDFATHER'S COUSIN DANIEL ASHBAUGH WAS IN CO. E OF THE 11TH PENNSYLVANIA AS WAS ANOTHER COUSIN IN SAME CO.

happy to see manssas getting some love
We need the burnsides for Antietam 160!
Awesome!
The 70s expansion of I-66 from Centreville on to I-81 has that section of Rt.29-211 that runs through the Manassas NBP from the Stone House to Gainesville past adjacent Conway Robinson State Forest very thankfully seeing very little traffic anymore. Grovetown Rd south of Featherbed Ln (or "Buttermilk Rd" as my Scoutmaster mistakenly told my father once while giving him directions, lol) was residential but all those properties were purchased, houses were leveled, not even driveways or foundations are left. When I mustered out of the Navy, I attended Northern Virginia Community College or as my father called it "The University of 234", just next to the NBP.
Good job !
Gary,
How did you get to the Brownsville area and the Dogan House from the trail at the Lewis House? The NPS brochure map does not show a trail...IS there a trail or did you just walk along the roadside?
Nice! now, I can't wait to go there.
I'll have to get a new hat.
Was the 70's group Brownsville station named after this place? :)
It’s crazy seeing someone exploring were I live
@ 5:40 I along with 2 others had a supernatural experience in that very parking area by the Deep Cut one evening in 1980. I backed in and parked with my windshield to the trailhead. When I turned off the headlights the scene was of a disorganized Union route. Smoke filled the air, soldiers were dragging their wounded comrades along, there was discarded military equipment on the ground everywhere nearby. We still in the car looked at one another in disbelief. I flipped on the headlights and it was all gone. 40 years later I contacted the two others and discussed our experience. I had to be sure I hadn't dreamed it. I didn't and it was not drug induced either.
That Groveton Monument is a favorite place for Copperheads, Timber Rattlers and many other Snakes to warm themselves in the sun.
Gary, Can you ride a mountain bike on those trails? On some battlefields you can ride on the paved and sometimes the dirt paths but or course, not on/in the sensitive areas.
Each trail is marked with what is permitted. Most are not for bikes.
Awesome tour, Gary! I was wondering tho, and I don't think you mentioned it, but didn't a reg of Penn volunteers led by Gen John Reynolds hold the last Confederate advance as it was crossing Sudley Road in pursuit the Pope's Union Army as it retreated toward Centreville? Just going by memory, but I seem to recall Reynolds being cited by Pope for riding along the line exalting the line to hold against the onslaught. I may be wrong...
When he said give em the rocks,..... is the field unchanged from then, or has it been restored?....
I would like you guy's think about using a drone to give us a better perspective.
Thank you,
Donald
You can’t in national parks.
Did you feel any kind of Negative energy on the battlefield? When I was 7, I saw a civil war soldier ghost shaving his beard near a lake. He looked at me and disappeared all of sudden.
What day will you be at Antietam this week? I'd like to stop by and say Hello.
I love my home state of Virginia! I've got family in manassas
What’s the name of the developer that wants to put that apartment complex next to the Gettysburg National military Park ?
I thought I saw him but I was too shy to say hi 😩
Wow 160 years ago already
How many ticks did you pick up.
Yup, tick central!
Be safe we need you all!!!!
Why is the 3rd Minnesota never mentioned that Pope commanded?
👍
Does anyone know who dug the out the railroad cut? Slaves or railroad workers?
جميل👍👍
Get some rest, man.
Good shout out to the Texas Spam.
Preservation......
Gary, you look thinner this series. You good?
Wish all battle fields could be cleared to the period time.
Leia essa mensagem importante .
Qual a importância de aceitar a Jesus como salvador da nossas almas ?
Olha é importante agente confessar a Jesus como salvador das nossas almas ,por que está escrito , Jesus assim falou que se alguém mim negar diante dos homens eu também negarei diante dos anjos de Deus,ou seja Jesus vai dizer no último dia aperta de mim eu não te conheço,essa é uma das importâncias de aceitar a Jesus , também aceitamos Jesus pra ter nossos nomes escritos no livro da vida e conseguir uma morada em seu lindo paraíso.
Them fences @7:20 look oldngrate!
the American civil war left millions of people dead! in 1867 where the bloodiest battles between North and South took place , Today 200 years later, the same places have turned into . Supermarket parking, condominium of houses.🇧🇷🇺🇸👍
Huh? Almost everything you wrote was wrong.
@@tberkoff 🤣🤣 just let him go I guess😌
@@tberkoff I'm Brazilian! But I know what happened in the American civil war, the places where there were great battles between the south and north, Today it exists! Supermarket parking, condominium of houses, , if this is not true, then National Geographic is lying.🤔
He’s a little confused but he’s got spirit
@@rebelsoul5980 😂😆🤣😑🇺🇲
2nd Bull Run.
We won the war.
