Me too. An Australian living in Thailand eating Italian food watching a video about a 159 year old battle in the US. The world is getting smaller and smaller.
We are going to the 158th anniversary of chickamauga today. We r from Chattanooga and have visited virtually every part of the Chattanooga and chickamauga battlefields and cannot get enough of it. We have visited Antietam and Gettysburg multiple times as well and are some of the best preserved battlefields in the country.
I was at Antietam for the 150 anniversary, and will visit again for 160 but this time with ABT information to guide me. Thank you for your important educational work. tio Jimmy
I was at the estate auction where you bought the house right down from where you filmed this. The one at the fork of Sharpsburg and Hagerstown pike. I was confused for months as to why someone would buy a perfectly good brick home and tear it down... Keep doing what you all do. I'm so glad there is people like you in Washington county helping us preserve our history. Thankyou.
@@AmericanBattlefieldTrust A home in a location like that would be a dream to me but I get it. Our history must be preserved. maybe I can find one out on the edge lol.
Man I love the background history of the battlefield itself. Didn't know Stark was War Department. I wonder about that other one behind Dunker Church that no longer exist to the Pike.
You know, Bristow is prince William county Virginia. I've always been interested in Antietam, as I lost ancestors there. Thanks for sharing the details, it's the real thing. 1st Minnesota.
My great great uncle was one of the original members of Wheat's Louisiana Tiger Battalion. By the time of Antietam Wheat was dead and what was left of his unit had been merged with Coppens Louisiana Zouaves of Starkes Brigade. My uncle was listed as missing after the battle and I often wonder if he was among the dead that we see in these pictures along Hagerstown Road.
This vid is very disappointing to me. As the Gr Gr Grandson of an Iron Brigade volunteer, I really wanted to hear the details of the First Corps (especially the Sixth Wisconsin) coming up past Miller's Farm and into the Cornfield fight that morning. Instead, this video, although it is titled so, says very little at all.
Just sat down with my dinner in the UK. Brilliant way to spend 20 minutes having dinner and watching you guys.
Me to class show lol

I really appreciate this, I had an ancestor in Starkes Brigade along this road.
