I had six ancestors fight in this battle. And I can map out the relative location to the unit that they were in. Gettysburg is an incredible place visit and learn about. Happy anniversary
That is terrific that you know your ancestors like that. I haven't been able to find out my past my great great grandparents. All were born after the Civil War. So I need to go further back but haven't has much luck.
There is Nothing happy about a Gettysburg anniversary... 53,000 American died there, in three day, that should have been back home, in their respective states, watching their corn grow on their farms. In the USA Constitutional REPUBLIC. When the Constitution REQUIRES 100% of the States Representatives participation.... How was Abraham Lincoln making Constitutional Law, without the Southern States Representatives NOT in the Congress? Constitution REQUIRES a "Concensus" between Majority and Minority with 63% same VOTE with all 100% of the States Representatives participating. Also called "2/3 rds VOTE!"
Excellent these videos you are making to commemorate the 159th anniversary of the start of the Battle of Gettysburg. I would love to be there. Congratulations. I'm Nelson from south of Brasil.
North Carolina resident tuned in and watching. Bentonville Battlefield is 10 miles from my home and I visit it several times a month. I was in Gettysburg in April for Spring Break and it snowed as we left and headed to Antietam.
I spent yesterday with a Battlefield Guide, horseback riding on the same paths that the Union and Confederate soldiers fought! I love Gettysburg ~ thank you, ABT ~ fan for life. 🐴
Early in the battle and you're all doing another stellar job! I watched the past few years and enjoy Gettysburg's presentations by far the most. I had an Irish ancestor, Timothy Deacy from Ohio in the battle.
Thank you. I recently visited Gettysburg in May 2022. Great place to visit and learn. Gary is the reason that I joined the American Battlefield Trust. Very important to preserve these hallowed areas.
I visited Gettysburg this past Memorial Day weekend. It was an extraordinary experience. The size of the battlefields is unimaginable. It took me 63 years to get there and I'm glad I did!
I live less than two hours from Gettysburg and have been there many times. I have to thank Gary and his co-workers though for the tremendous coverage of the western theater during his road trips of the last two years. My Civil War ancestor was Kentucky born and he fought with General Thomas and the Army of the Cumberland. I absolutely have to get myself out there and walk the battlefields at Chicamauga and Stones River. There’s no substitute for walking the ground where your ancestor fought.
Wonderful show, fellas! I'm in the middle of California and have never had the opportunity to visit Gettysburg, but THANK YOU!!!!! Well, Well done & can't wait for the next episodes.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
You should make it your mission to get there someday. Truly hallowed ground. I go every year and there's nothing like standing on that ground. Hope you can get there someday. ✌️
We need a movie about John Burns at the battle. I vote Clint Eastwood for the role! Thanks for the stream, crew! Wish I could be there at Gettysburg today.
My family and I were in Gettysburg 25 years ago today and attended the burial of the unknown soldier who's bones were discovered in the railroad cut. The last surviving Civil War widows were the VIPs. It was surreal watching almost the exact same scene people saw when Lincoln rode down the street in Nov 1863. My battle ancestors were in the 4th, 15th, and 24th Georgia at Gettysburg. The other ancestors were being given up at the same time in Vicksburg during the same time.
October is a really nice time to go. A lot of the rangers are out in the field doing research. I ran into Matt Atkinson one year on Little Round Top. Just Matt and me talking about Gettysburg. It was great. 🤣
By now, you probably don't expect anything from me but very high praise for your videos. But at the risk of coming off as a total sycophant, I have to tell you that your approach to this year's Gettysburg videos is nothing short of brilliant. Your emphasis on the participants and the STORIES of their struggle is exactly the approach needed to lead more people -- and most particularly, more diverse people -- toward a deeper appreciation of American history.
Look forward to these videos every year, I love history and know a lot but seem like I learn something new each time that I watch these videos. Hope to get up to Gettysburg one day and get to walk the battlefields.
Great video! My great grandfather fought in the Civil War in I think most of the major battles and some not so major. I love watching your videos and some day hope to go find the monuments that are there for the 59th NY infantry. You have outstanding videos I love to watch.
ONLY great grandfather? Sheesh, dear one, you must be at least in your 80's or your great grandfather married a very young woman! I'm nearly 60 this year and my father was a WWII vet, and his father was born in 1898, and his father (my great grandfather) would have been born around the time of the Civil War---too young to have been recruited unless he married a much younger woman. Yours would be an interesting story to hear!
I can't wait to revisit. I was one of the last guests to stay at the old Howard Johnson motel behind the Appalachian Ale House and Gen. Lee's HQ. Good times.
It’s been about 26-27 years since I got the chance to visit Gettysburg with my wife. I had read the book ‘The Killer Angels’ before I left and so it was awesome to know the area ahead of time.
A few days ago, we stood at Hazel Grove in the Chancellorsville NMP, where Gen. Lee conferred with Gen. James Archer on 3 May 1863. At that time. Lee ordered Archer to attack and seize the Federal artillery position at Fairview. Of course, two months later, Federal troops captured Archer on the first day of the battle at Gettysburg. 'Grey Eagle' was the name of Gen. Buford's horse.
Two veterans from the 143rd Pa. Carved their initials and date on the south side of the McPherson barn on Sept. 12, 1889. This was a day after the dedication of the 143rd’s monument . Pretty cool Artifact to see .
This is so exciting, and thank you all for creating all these wonderful videos/History!!! Civil War History, specifically Gettysburg is my favorite American History... Wow, you're making my entire 4th of July weekend! Gary's a favorite with everyone, I think...
Beautiful day out there! Been there for a number of anniversaries while I lived in VA, now out in Michigan and it's a little harder to just jump in the car and go...no thanks to Biden's economy, either. Missing it out there, but joining you from home. 24:17 John Burns is not just some random grumpy civilian as Sarah Bierle suggests. She fails to point out an important motivating factor for John Burns' taking up arms, and that is he is a veteran of the War of 1812. Not being a veteran herself, I can understand her failure to appreciate that fact. As a Marine Corps veteran, I can attest that patriotic fighting spirit never leaves you, and I first joined in 1986 and would take up arms today if necessary. I have an interesting story about the John Burns monument. When I was out there during the 153rd anniversary of the battle with my kids in 2016, we were standing at the John Burns monument when we smelled the distinct smell of gunpowder. I had heard no firearms or fireworks go off anywhere in the vicinity, and as a person who served as an artillery officer and spent plenty of time around live weapons shoots and fireworks, the smell was pretty distinct and recognizable. Perhaps someone had lit off a sparkler somewhere nearby, but I often wondered if it wasn't a little message from Burns himself!
On the first day of the battle, 159 years ago my great great grandfather, Amos Prowant and two great great uncles, Henry Prowant and Elias Weidensal all in Company D, 150th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry engaged Confederate forces, under the command of Genera Harryl Heth. Second Leutenant Elias Weidensal was killed and Private Amos Prowant was captured while his unit retreated through the town of Gettysburg. Amos would be paroled in December 1863. Both Amos and Henry survived the war Along with other units, including Gen. Buford's cavalry, Confederate forces were delayed long enough for The Army of the Potomic to concentrate on Cemetary ridge, a strong defensive position southeast of the town of Gettysburg. Two days later, after an attack of the Union center by ten to twelve thousand men, The Confederate Army was repulsed, culminating in a decisive Confederate defeat. The Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, commanded by Gen. Robert E. Lee would never again be able to take the offensive and surrended to Gen. U.S. Grant at Appomattox, Virginia on April 9, 1865.
Ha!! John Burns pays the price for not listening to his wife!!! In modern times, she would refuse to drive him to the Emergency Room and sit in the lobby for hours awaiting treatment!!! 😆
This is very interesting/Interesante! oh my, a great grandfather was killed in the 149th PA VOLinf, July 1st `1863? IRON BRIGADE IRON BRIGADE FORWARD!!!!! HURRAH! pushes across and the Ithe First corps faces the iii of ApHILL, ANVA, then comes the AOP First corps division Doubleday robinson's, the BUCKTAIL PA BRIGADES 142, 143,144,th PA VOL INF 13 the pa reserves?
@@AmericanBattlefieldTrust "Horrible" is a bit of an overstatement. Yes, it was slightly off but in the end, it's about the amazing content and not if its in 4k or not.
General Lee was a good confederate leader... But Gen. Stonewall Jackson was the reason for the invasion of the north that led to the battle of Gettysburg... Lee followed Jackson's plan to invade the north by using general Jackson's previous commissioned maps... But Lee did not follow Jackson's battle plans... That led to the South's terrible defeat there. But the real reason for the defeat of Lee? Was General Lee allowing his rebel cavalry leader general Jeb Stuart to go off on his own... Instead of being on his flanks & observing the enemy army's movements.
General Meade and the Army of the Potomac would probably say they had a little something to do with defeating Lee at Gettysburg. Lee, in fact, admitted as much when he surrendered at Appomattox and spoke with Meade.
Thank you. I recently visited Gettysburg in May 2022. Great place to visit and learn. Gary is the reason that I joined the American Battlefield Trust. Very important to preserve these hallowed areas.
Gettysburg 159!!!! I got my popcorn, now educate me!
Thankyou Battlefield Trust for all that you do
All of the presenters in these video's, are so well informed, well done chaps. Appreciated very much.

I've only been to Gettysburg once (in '93). But now that I am "retired" I think it's time for a another "tour". Member of ABT for 15 years.
Another great video and with a cameo by Eric the production from Addressing Gettysburg...

Clint Eastwood is 92 - a little too old to play Mr. Burns.
