- Garry Adelman, Doug Douds and Chris Mackowski detail the wounding of Union General Dan Sickles in The Wheatfield. Sickles would end up having to have his leg amputated later in the day, but puffed on a cigar during his journey to try and raise the spirits of his men. The experts then dive into the stand of the 9th Massachusetts Battery at Gettysburg on July 2, 1863 and describe the action at The Trostle Farm.
This video is part of our commemoration series for the 157th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg.
Visited there last summer. What an amazing place! The work that goes into preserving this battlefield is mind boggling! Thank you for everything you do!
Exceptional battlefield history!
This team did the very best battlefield discussions for the 157th Anniversary. Not even close! Well done!
I've been reading about the Civil War for almost 30 years and I somehow missed Bigelow's battery retiring by recoil. Those are some heroic artillerymen. Let's all remember their bravery in helping to save the United States.
Practice. We are talking about Practice…… that is why you practice things because you never know.
These videos and narration are top notch and with the old pictures for proof very well documented. Great work.
Just revisiting again still love it Doug excellent
Amazing... Thank you so much for doing these!
The ranger national park tours are very good ,however you guys bring a exuberance that adds and improves the quality of content
Thanks Gary, love your stuff. Very appreciative.
Brilliantly done, Bigelow story is little known.
So glad you are doing this. These are amazing. Thank you.
Amazing video series I have watch them all so far fantastic job
You guys do great work BUT I am one of those visitors that drives by the monument that says "monument at Culps Hill". Could not hear what you were saying because the sound was bad. Next time I go down I'll look at the plaque behind myself. Thank you for all you do. Keep up the good work.
Bigelow's battery is one of my favorite stories about Gettysburg
Such great storytellers.

My great great uncle was a Sergeant in the 19th Indiana Infantry of the famous Iron Brigade. He was killed in action on the first day at Gettysburg. He's still there today, buried in the Soldiers National Cemetery.
Thanks again Garry!
Awesome! Thanks for a great series of videos.
Thank you for this! These guys know their stuff!!
Great content!
I have been a Civil War buff since I was a young girl, growing up in Virginia and Louisiana, two states with LOTS of Civil War history.. I am enjoying these videos very much. The pictures are a helpful and interesting addition to give the watcher perspective and a frame of reference when trying to “see” the battle from the narrative. Good job, Gents! I have already marked your following videos for watching as well..
Yes they're great!. Amazing story!
Love the videos mates, keep em coming, much love from down Oz
Guys, these videos are really informational and done very well. The way you tell the story with such excitement and detail is second to none. Thanks!
Outstanding video !
Mr. Douds' description of the 9th Massachusetts Battery's withdrawal from the field is the way history ought to be told. Riveting stuff!
Fantastic please do more.
All your videos are amazing!! Helps me learn! Thank you!
Really good, hello again from Essex county in uk, i walked that ground January 2018. Keep em coming. Really enjoying the videos. Oh yeah, ive subscribed too!😀👍
Long live the Union!
I love how we start off with Gary digging in his bellybutton LOL 🤣
Great video, as always. Thanks for the great information guys.
Wish you guys would do the 7 days battles, especially Malvern Hill that is in danger as huge farm on main part of battlefield is up for sale. Am afraid they will put up housing!
My great great great uncle Captain Wesley Mellard Co H 13th Mississippi Infantry Barksdales brigade fought at the Peach Orchard July 2 1863 A sad and terrible day for both sides
My great-great-grandpa was captured in the Wheatfield. I have no use for Dan Sickles! He has a way of getting talked about as an amusing character. No one mentions him as the man who caused a lot of unnecessary misery and death! That part is slid over in a few words. What is dwelt on are the cute stories about how he, "puffed on a cigar during his journey to try and raise the spirits of his men." Phooey!
RE the ending: I can't come over to see the battlefields, really. Wrong country! But you can bet I'd have been by now otherwise. Probably to loads of 'em, big geek, me.
After seeing the lady's name carved on the cannon, I will always wonder WHO
"Cora" was, and who put her name on the cannon?!!
Can't hear it!
Freeman McGilvery won the Medal of Honor that day too! Why no love for Freeman?????
Sickles Boooooo!
Hancock Yayyy
Whats all the complaining about sound quality. It sounds fine on my end.
To preserve a 'realistic look' of civil war Napoleon cannon, on the Battlefield: why doesn't the National Park Service use a clear epoxy covering over the original bronze surface? That way the green (copper based salt/s) corrosive layer wouldn't form. Even if the clear epoxy idea isn't physically or economically feasible, surely today, we could have/develop an economic clear surface preservative that would do this job?
Why does it say culps hill
Have such a hard time hearing him..Every Video he is in
But wasn't it Dan Sickels right leg how was amputated, not the left 2:52 ... 🙄
Yes, it was the right leg!
I need to defend Sickles. Riddle me this. If Sickles had been in original position, Longstreet would have had an easier time on D2 and Meade would have had to move troops around anyway. Sure their lines would have been more compact, but Longstreet would not have had been mauled. I think Sickles is getting a bad wrap.
Please get better sound equipment.
George Meade:
Dan why are you smiling and smoking a cigar your leg was just blown off?
I plead Insanity George I'm just crazy about these cigars
I would have been artillery.
Matthew Jay and the rest of your life you would be yelling, “WHAT”?
Give us animations guys ! Motivated speakers here but cmon get with the 21st century …
Sickles was a drunk and corrupt politician from NY and he brought on a disasterous slaughter of his troops at Gettysburg. There may be a lesson here for us:)
Are donations to ABT tax deductible Gary?
Go visit before they tear down the statues.
