Thank you for doing this series on Gettysburg,learned a lot and I want to find out more.This is a fine example how to make history come alive. I have recommended this channel to my friends, Thank you from a swedish viewer.
Thank you very much for these wonderful wonderful videos on Gettysburg. It has been very very interesting and I have learned a lot from the videos. I am totally blind and have other disabilities and live alone here in Texas with on a very short amount of income from Social Security, so I am not able to travel, unfortunately, but with you making these videos and describing things and reading things is a big help. So I would like to ask you whenever you come across anything to read if you could read as much as you possibly can because the more you do that the more people like me will be able to benefit from it and learn as well and describing things like he have been doing, you may not realize it, but I know that because there is no way of knowing, but who knows how many other people that are blind, and with other physical disabilities that cannot, travel to get around to these places so your eyes and you describing everything and everything you will be helping who knows how many other people and that is truly a blessing to help so many people like that. God bless you keep up the great work that you are doing God bless you take care.Susan from Houston, Texas
JD- hug fan!! Me and Dad look forward to your videos and we talk and discuss history. Would love to see a series about the Texas Revolution. That would be amazing
Thank you for sharing with us. I am enjoy learning from your channel. We made a visit to Gettysburg over 30 years ago. Now, I want to go back. I know a lot of places we visited have changed. You opened my eyes. We need to go back.
I finally got to watch this! I love all your videos as you know the longer the better 😁 This Gettysburg series has been pure bliss for me. Between my crochet business and watching my granddaughter I haven’t gotten to go for the past 5 years. Not only did you fill the empty hole of missing it, you also showed me things I’d never seen!! 😊 I now have a new list of places to walk and experience in person the next time I go. So thank you thank you thank you JD for all the time, effort, knowledge and love you put into the Gettysburg videos. They were appreciated more than I can ever convey 🥰
You are fantastic. I've been to Gettysburg many times, and you really made clear many things I was confused about. Pickets charge, particularly. The Shriver house is next on my list to see.
My grandson, who is 11 years of age, is a history buff, especially anything military and World War II. I majored in history in college and he can tell me facts that I didn’t know! Him and I have loved your Gettysburg series. Thank you for your channel.?? Keep up the great work!
Love the series on Gettysburg - thank you for the parts of the stories that you told. I had been watching American Battlefield Trust videos and learning, and Matt Atkinson with the NPS - all of which add to what I've learned. But felt that your videos were different in the knowledge that was shared. There is so much to learn and know about the battle and everyone working together helps educate us. I've been following you for less than a year, but have caught up on all your videos and really appreciate them and your presentation. Thank you also for being honest about your being a Christian. "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ....Romans 1:16 Safe travels to you as you continue to help share history.
Greetings from across the pond sorry missed the chat live pleased you are looking well and keeping busy. Thank you for another great series on Gettysburg and enjoyed listening to your chat and your future projects best wishes with your next adventures.
Thanks JD for taking the time from your busy schedule to spend with us. I started watching you for your WWII content, but I have to say you turned me into a huge Gettysburg fan because of this series. I have a stack of books to read and I've become a fan of several podcasts. The bonus is my wife really enjoyed the place too and we have plans to go back. I wish things might work out for me going to Normandy, but I'm beginning to think that and my other Europe plans might just have to be put on hold a little longer. I'm going to start looking into the local history. The River Raisin National Battlefield Park is only 15 minutes from my house and I've never been there. Some War of 1812 history there. They just opened a new visitors center, so I'll have to check it out. If you need help with any of your projects, I'm more than willing and I've got the time, just putting that out there. In the meantime, safe travels and best wishes to you and your family.
I am sorry I missed your live feed. I have been to Gettysburg several times but you have added so more context to what I learned! Thank you so much for doing this series!
Such a big fan of your channel, so bummed to see this series go, but I'm sure whatever you have planned next, I will be waiting with anticipation, your a great history teacher, thanks for all the great videos!!
Enjoyed tour series immensely! Horses were a big part of the story of the civilians of Gettysburg. Thousands died during the battle. A lot of nasty aftereffects of the battle were caused by dead horses. The carcasses were very difficult to dispose of. They were too big to bury, they tried burning them, which made things worse. I just don't recall how or if they dealt with the problem.
Man I don't know how I found your channel but I'm glad I did . Amazing stuff man ..I really can't put it into words . Keep up the great work .God Bless 🙌
You did beyond far the greatest job of Gettysburg history. We as a nation needs what you are doing. I request battles of the Revolutionary War if you can swing it for your next series.
Thank you for your videos. As a history nut and obsessed I have truly enjoyed your videos and have learned from them. I have been blessed to have visited Arizona and a lot of the west along with Alaska. Depending on location you may want to consider Ohio, you could cover a lot of presidential graves, homes, war of 1812 etc. A lot of history here covering a number of centuries including the Johnson Island prison site and graves, Kent State shooting memorial etc. . Anyway I know you are pulled in many directions so thank you for your videos and time devoted to making them. Joe
As a Canadian lover of history and all your history videos, please don't forget your neighbors to the north. We, as Canadians are really deeply rooted and intertwined not only historically but as brothers and sisters evolving together through history of North America and the world. Especially WW1 and WW2. As a believer, I want to comment to you that another great topic would be how the complete foundation of our countries are founded on God's Word. Back to the Canadian/American thing; there are 2 points I'd like to highlight as topics if presented with your awesome charismatic would be great interest to ALL history buffs. 1-my grandad Campbell fought in WW1. He fought at Vimy Ridge in France and Passchendaele and survived. He was in WW1 from 1915 until the end in 1918. He saw and experienced hell on earth. He was shot in his hip and suffered shell shock from trench warfare. Both times sent to England to recover; both times returned to the front and after Nov. 11, 1918 was sent back to England and then back to Canada. Vimy Ridge is an overwhelming story about Canadians and the Canadian soldiers. Too much to explain here, but aa a short note, Vimy Ridge is viewed by historians as the birth of Canada as a world class nation. VIMY IS A FANTASTIC Canadian story. 2-I was born in Fort Erie Ontario and lived two houses away from the old Fort. I played ours in and around the grounds of it for years. I found out through the internet that in August of 1814, the British/Canadians launched a sneak attack on the then American held old fort in the middle of the night right over our old property. Again, a ton I'm not saying but on a side note I remember as a kid playing around a monument near the front of the old fort where the remains of approximatley 150 US soldiers remains are at rest. BTW, I love Galatians 4. Carson the Canuck who really enjoys your vids.
I missed the chat today due to work obligations. Sad to see the series end but I know you'll keep providing amazing content for us. Have your ever thought of General Custer and the Battle of Little Bighorn, WWII in England, or War of the Roses...? Thanks for all your shade with us keeping history alive and well. Have a good weekend.
Missed your live stream over here in the UK, apologies. That said, thoroughly enjoyed your Gettysburg series. Over 40 years ago we had some lessons in school here on the American Civil War. You and your co-op input through the American Battlefield Trust really brought it to life. Love your work. Hope someday to visit the US and get to some of your infamous historical sites. Being born in 1963, I have always had an interest in the events in Dallas November 22nd...studied it in detail. If you ever get the chance to do something on that, that would be fascinating. Warmest regards 👍
@@janicelindsey9557 I’m located in the centre of England, approx 45 mins drive to Stratford Upon Avon (birthplace of Shakespeare), Bletchley Park (home of the codebreakers), Naseby (site of battle during English Civil War ) and Market Bosworth (site of the battle, Richard III fell ending the Plantagenet era of the English Crown and where the Tudor dynasty began).
@@palerider4015 Thank you for responding ! I know where you are. Thanks to You Tube I watched the funeral and the discovery of Richard III body in the parking lot. I think I have read every book on Henry and his unfortunate wives. My dog is named Henry but not after the king just coincidence. JFK and Dallas was so shocking and incredibly sad. My family was glued to the tv and cried for days and days. When John John saluted his daddy’s casket we literally fell apart. If the book, “Death of a President “ (William Manchester) is still in print you must read it. Jacqueline Kennedy sued to stop the publishing but lost. I saved all the newspapers of this tragedy. I’m from the Philadelphia area (City of Brotherly Love) Have a great day and thanks again for your time 🇺🇸 ❤️
@@janicelindsey9557 If you are into the life and times of King Henry VIII and you find yourself this side of the Atlantic in the future, I can recommend visits to Hampton Court Palace, The Tower of London and Windsor Castle. The tours are excellent with artefacts of the man and his Court on display. At the naval dockyard in Portsmouth there is the Mary Rose exhibition- Henry’s favourite warship which he witnessed sinking in the Solent, on its way to engage the French Fleet . The salvaged wreck is something else, along with preserved items that were also recovered - such as personal items. Fascinating stuff. Kind regards 🇬🇧 👍
Thanks for the channel and the Gettysburg series. Included the cupola museum while there late June due to your episode. If you go back to France please visit some trenches. Please!
I like your picture in the background. I bought the one for the Navy since my Dad is a Navy veteran. I loved your Gettysburg series!! We visited every year since the 5th grade until I graduated. Now we take our kiddos and they love it just as much. I’ve learned so much more watching your videos and my kids have enjoyed them too.
JD, when you run out of ACW targets you could reach Grandmaster by sorting out Cornwallis's last romp in the south. He raatheer spilled his Tea Set down there. Cowpens, Guildford CH & Camden all have much improved. Cheers from eastern MD.
I would love to see you tackle the. Battle of the Bulge. My father was there with the 101st AB, 2nd Batt, 506th. Fox Co. I’d love to see what it all looks like now. Have a wonderful Belgium contact, very knowledgeable on the events. Let me know if you’d like to speak to him. Love love love your channel. So glad I found you. Best regards from Montana!
I enjoy your Gettysburg it was it was very interesting I never seen some of the stuff I know I can't get there anymore to see it so you made it possible for me to enjoy and to know more information and I had no idea so I want to thank you very much
End of Gettysburg 😫😢😭 I’ve learned so much. Thank you! FYI…I have an Amazon Wish List too! On it is “Too Much for Human Endurance “ The George Spangler Farm. It will be my next read. Thanks again!
Just wanted to send a big thank you for the Gettysburg videos. My family and I wanted to go there on vacation but we didn't make it. Since watching your videos, I realized the places we really wanted to go are probably not handicapped accessible because I'm in a wheelchair. My daughter and I like the Civil War Era and have watched every one of your Gettysburg videos. A few years back, we visited an old plantation home in Jonesboro, GA. Question - have you ever visited the Lincoln Museum, home and tomb in Springfield? Thanks again!
I missed the live but enjoyed the playback. Hopefully you can get out to the west coast. Im in WA and go to the coast a lot. There's all kinds of history from native American to WWII . If you go to Cape Disappointment, one of my favorite parks, you'll get a twofer - Lewis & Clark and WWII.
There were almost 3 million horses and mules that served during the Civil War. Approximately half lost their lives. Horses & mules were essential to both armies, from moving artillery, in the calvary to moving supplies. Vicksburg is so much more interesting. Go do a series on it and you will completely become enthralled. Gettysburg was a great series but… ❤️💋🐾🐾🐎🐂🔥
Come out to Chadds Ford, PA! Battle of Brandywine, cool old farms with Underground Railroad history, etc. Plenty of material for you, and relatively close to PHL airport. Love your channel!
Agree with ya JD… the wheat field is so fascinating… last time I was there…. It felt a hectic, confusing……. Much like the events… trying to picture of what, when, where… just is overwhelming..Which I think is where the interest comes….. a lot of the Gettysburg battle is well documented and is common knowledge….. but the wheat field, I think will always have a lore, and a mystery to it
My favourite saying out of the American South, "Ya''ll gotta change the oil in that cap!" It's an expected prop! Artefacts are the best part of a story when told. Without artefacts it's like a meal without dessert.
Absolute awesome series bud, can’t wait for the next series! I love all history, so any era works for me. You also roll with a good crowd, Gary, Erik, Paul and vlogging. Keep on keeping on brother! 🍻
FroM one TH-camr to another… you have an amazing channel! Even my 8 year old daughter loves watching you and learning!! And as for the turds that attack your channel lol tell them to spend the money and go out and film and do better!! Maybe one or two will get off the couch lol!! Thanks JD!! Can’t wait to see whats next!!
Love your specialist trips, found your channel with the Normandy and band of brothers stuff and then this Gettysburg stuff has been amazing. I’m Brit so we don’t really learn about it, but I’ve been captivated. Thank you. Trip idea for you, I would love you to come to England and take a trip around the WW2 sites that we still have, you have a real talent for bringing the people out in stories and I would love to know more about the stories from these bases and if the bases are gone what is there now. You could do the south where D-Day was amassed, the damnbusters and even things like bomber county which is where I live. Especially if you are going to Normandy like you have just said as I wrote this haha, just a short hop in a plane to the side of history that doesn’t get talked about enough (in my opinion) Hope this finds you well, can’t wait to see what is up your sleeve next!
As a fellow Limey may I recommend the We have ways of making you talk podcast with Al Murray and James Holland. They have 2 great pods a week and if you are a patreon a fab livestream and only last week 700 of us did an amazing Band of Brothers watch along. Also Lincolnshire's museums are fab especially East Kirkby,Thorpe Camp,Metheringham, IBCC and RAF Ingham.
If you come to Pea Ridge Arkansas, you need to also go to Prairie Grove battlefield. Check out Cane Hill when in the Prairie Grove area. All of the Ozarks has neat scenery and history
You need to go to The National Museum of the Pacific war In Fredericksburg Texas , they do a reenactment there with tanks and flame throwers. It’s Admiral Chester Nimitz hometown. Enjoyed your Gettysburg trip I hope when this virus thing goes I want to visit the Gettysburg museum awesome stuff. Thank you.
I didn't get to see this live Saturday, as it was my son's birthday, but I am so excited about the mention of the U.S.S. Alabama. My grandfather built ships in Norfolk before joining the army during WWII. We recently found items he had kept at home indicating he helped build the Alabama (materials relating to the launch). He was in the Philippines later. And, as for those who say "too much Gettysburg," is there such a thing?
JD, thank you so much for your series on Gettysburg. My son and I are now planning a future trip to the battle field and check out the town because of it. Fascinating stuff! When are you going to cover the revolutionary War? I live about an hour from the Saratoga battle fields. Might make another good series 😉
Oh, one more thought! Steven Ambrose covered Lewis and Clark quite well, but would love you to cover their trail! It would come right by my home!! See you soon😜🥴😂
While you were in Gettysburg did you get to do the President Eisenhower Homestead etc.? I haven't been there since I was a child. I have really loved all of you Gettysburg content, especially the none Civil War stuff. I am now slowly working through your back catalogue. Great stuff/great prospective!
You should make it out to NJ. A lot of history there. The Battle of Monmouth (largest artillery battle during the revolutionary war), Fort Hancock on Sandy Hook, Princeton Battlefield, Washington’s crossing. NJ had more battles/skirmishes than any other colony during that time with it being located between NYC and Philadelphia.
Hi JD. Love your channel, especially the civil War ones. Have you considered the gangster theme concept. Ie Capone, Dillinger to name a few, keep em coming brother. Love, peace & Laughter from an exiled Yorkshire man in Spain.
When you were showing the WW 2 uniforms at the museum. I thought I bet they don't have one with an ADC patch, but they sure did. My dad was stationed at Adak. That's why I ask about it. I understand not much left there from the war But it would be cool if you went there
I lived near Dillsburg, PA. An area 4 miles south (Crystal Springs), toward Gettysburg, I rented a house near an 1820’s horse drawn grist mill & general store 1863. Supposedly, JEB Stuart’s cavalry camped in my yard. Rested there for 2 days Jun 28-29, 1863. I believe, I found one of his spurs. General store & mill was robbed of horses, hogs, wagons, shoes, sugar/salt, etc. Wrightsville, PA & the Union bridge burning over Susquehanna is another good Gettysburg story
Ever do a ghost tour in Gettysburg? The ghost tour guides tell some very good stories about the after effects of the battle. Bummer I never seen a ghost tho!
James Burke tv series "Connections" went through history and connecting dots- The perfume spritzer (1700's)led to the motor engine carburettor of 1890's. History taught to draw connections between Vietnam and Afghanistan. etc. It is better to learn from the mistakes of others than make them yourself. Histories Bounty.
Question do you know or do you know how this could be found out Are there LiDAR images at ground level of civil war battle sights that show what the areas look like without the vegetation
Everyone was born into that mess. In western new york where i grew up...i had a black friend (context) whose family was given the property their ancestors were working slaves in when the white family passed away. Thats about as good a story as you can get....and from what i understood....were very grateful
I just read the story with the camel. Supposedly it was shot by usss and the rebs were mad so the officer of the unit that had the camel sent out some guys to kill the soldiers that did it
We went to Gettysburg today and all of the locals were talking about you. The museums are so grateful for you, thank you!!

Great job, JD! Love your series and looking forward to seeing your next adventure!
JD- hug fan!! Me and Dad look forward to your videos and we talk and discuss history. Would love to see a series about the Texas Revolution. That would be amazing
Yea the fight for Texas would be a good one
Thank you for sharing with us. I am enjoy learning from your channel. We made a visit to Gettysburg over 30 years ago. Now, I want to go back. I know a lot of places we visited have changed. You opened my eyes. We need to go back.
I finally got to watch this!

You are fantastic. I've been to Gettysburg many times, and you really made clear many things I was confused about. Pickets charge, particularly. The Shriver house is next on my list to see.
👍🏻
This series must have been a lot of work . I am just amazed at what I learned . Thank you.
Thanks so much for all that you share and do. I really enjoy it all and always learning
I’ve got a great feeling you’ll soon be seeing Paul Woodadge over in Normandy my friend ! Soo awesome ! Wish I was going too !!

I love your series on Gettysburg. We have already made reservations at a BnB for October. I am glad you decided to do it.
I'll be there in October too. You will LOVE Gettysburg! It is a fantastic little town. Hunts Battlefield Fries (great breakfast!) & Mr. G's ice cream.
I just found you I will tell my brother about your series and future series. Thanks!

Thank you for an amazing series. Drew my interest of the American Civil War. Hello from Canada 🇨🇦
I just came across you.. I absolutely love History!♡ Definitely subscribing..thank you
Thanks for the channel and the Gettysburg series. Included the cupola museum while there late June due to your episode.
If you go back to France please visit some trenches. Please!
Need to go Wright-Patterson US Air Force Museum in Dayton Ohio. Tons of planes including the B-29 Box Car that drop the second atom bomb on Nagasaki.
Great job. Love what you do.

I would love to see you tackle the. Battle of the Bulge. My father was there with the 101st AB, 2nd Batt, 506th. Fox Co. I’d love to see what it all looks like now. Have a wonderful Belgium contact, very knowledgeable on the events. Let me know if you’d like to speak to him. Love love love your channel. So glad I found you. Best regards from Montana!
I enjoy your Gettysburg it was it was very interesting I never seen some of the stuff I know I can't get there anymore to see it so you made it possible for me to enjoy and to know more information and I had no idea so I want to thank you very much
End of Gettysburg 😫😢😭 I’ve learned so much. Thank you! FYI…I have an Amazon Wish List too! On it is “Too Much for Human Endurance “ The George Spangler Farm. It will be my next read. Thanks again!
Just wanted to send a big thank you for the Gettysburg videos. My family and I wanted to go there on vacation but we didn't make it. Since watching your videos, I realized the places we really wanted to go are probably not handicapped accessible because I'm in a wheelchair. My daughter and I like the Civil War Era and have watched every one of your Gettysburg videos. A few years back, we visited an old plantation home in Jonesboro, GA. Question - have you ever visited the Lincoln Museum, home and tomb in Springfield? Thanks again!
So glad that you've enjoyed the series. I've been to Lincoln's tomb and home but not the museum. Need to go back and shoot a few episodes.
I missed the live but enjoyed the playback. Hopefully you can get out to the west coast. Im in WA and go to the coast a lot. There's all kinds of history from native American to WWII . If you go to Cape Disappointment, one of my favorite parks, you'll get a twofer - Lewis & Clark and WWII.
There were almost 3 million horses and mules that served during the Civil War. Approximately half lost their lives. Horses & mules were essential to both armies, from moving artillery, in the calvary to moving supplies. Vicksburg is so much more interesting. Go do a series on it and you will completely become enthralled. Gettysburg was a great series but…
❤️💋🐾🐾🐎🐂🔥
Come out to Chadds Ford, PA! Battle of Brandywine, cool old farms with Underground Railroad history, etc. Plenty of material for you, and relatively close to PHL airport. Love your channel!
Agree with ya JD… the wheat field is so fascinating… last time I was there…. It felt a hectic, confusing……. Much like the events… trying to picture of what, when, where… just is overwhelming..Which I think is where the interest comes….. a lot of the Gettysburg battle is well documented and is common knowledge….. but the wheat field, I think will always have a lore, and a mystery to it
You seem like a genuinely nice guy I enjoy your channel thank you for taking the time to make the videos
I can watch your Gettysburg vids all day long.
👍🏻
Just my opinion, but this channel is GOING PLACES !!! GREAT CONTENT AND PRESENTATION !!!!
Thank you!
My favourite saying out of the American South, "Ya''ll gotta change the oil in that cap!" It's an expected prop! Artefacts are the best part of a story when told. Without artefacts it's like a meal without dessert.
Missed the chat. I enjoyed watching the replay.
GOOD JOB, WELL DONE TEACHER
Thanks!
Your Gettysburg series was so good I thought you lived there.....
Absolute awesome series bud, can’t wait for the next series! I love all history, so any era works for me.
You also roll with a good crowd, Gary, Erik, Paul and vlogging.
Keep on keeping on brother!
🍻
FroM one TH-camr to another… you have an amazing channel! Even my 8 year old daughter loves watching you and learning!! And as for the turds that attack your channel lol tell them to spend the money and go out and film and do better!! Maybe one or two will get off the couch lol!! Thanks JD!! Can’t wait to see whats next!!
Love your specialist trips, found your channel with the Normandy and band of brothers stuff and then this Gettysburg stuff has been amazing. I’m Brit so we don’t really learn about it, but I’ve been captivated. Thank you.
Trip idea for you, I would love you to come to England and take a trip around the WW2 sites that we still have, you have a real talent for bringing the people out in stories and I would love to know more about the stories from these bases and if the bases are gone what is there now.
You could do the south where D-Day was amassed, the damnbusters and even things like bomber county which is where I live.
Especially if you are going to Normandy like you have just said as I wrote this haha, just a short hop in a plane to the side of history that doesn’t get talked about enough (in my opinion)
Hope this finds you well, can’t wait to see what is up your sleeve next!
As a fellow Limey may I recommend the We have ways of making you talk podcast with Al Murray and James Holland. They have 2 great pods a week and if you are a patreon a fab livestream and only last week 700 of us did an amazing Band of Brothers watch along.
Also Lincolnshire's museums are fab especially East Kirkby,Thorpe Camp,Metheringham, IBCC and RAF Ingham.
Have you ever been to Fort McHenry in Baltimore? It would be awesome to see you in my hometown
If you come to Pea Ridge Arkansas, you need to also go to Prairie Grove battlefield. Check out Cane Hill when in the Prairie Grove area. All of the Ozarks has neat scenery and history
You need to go to The National Museum of the Pacific war In Fredericksburg Texas , they do a reenactment there with tanks and flame throwers. It’s Admiral Chester Nimitz hometown. Enjoyed your Gettysburg trip I hope when this virus thing goes I want to visit the Gettysburg museum awesome stuff. Thank you.
Well done, my friend...Perhaps some day you could come to Rhode Island and do a vid on Fort Adams in Newport...
I didn't get to see this live Saturday, as it was my son's birthday, but I am so excited about the mention of the U.S.S. Alabama. My grandfather built ships in Norfolk before joining the army during WWII. We recently found items he had kept at home indicating he helped build the Alabama (materials relating to the launch). He was in the Philippines later. And, as for those who say "too much Gettysburg," is there such a thing?
Great series….very difficult to do that fight without it getting into you!
JD, thank you so much for your series on Gettysburg. My son and I are now planning a future trip to the battle field and check out the town because of it. Fascinating stuff!
When are you going to cover the revolutionary War? I live about an hour from the Saratoga battle fields. Might make another good series 😉
Oh, one more thought! Steven Ambrose covered Lewis and Clark quite well, but would love you to cover their trail! It would come right by my home!! See you soon😜🥴😂
Sorry I missed it but mornings are tough for me to get on. Great series and thank you.
While you were in Gettysburg did you get to do the President Eisenhower Homestead etc.? I haven't been there since I was a child. I have really loved all of you Gettysburg content, especially the none Civil War stuff. I am now slowly working through your back catalogue. Great stuff/great prospective!
Great work loving this channel from Australia. Don't know but I find the Civil War well "my gosh that is interesting" :)
You should make it out to NJ. A lot of history there. The Battle of Monmouth (largest artillery battle during the revolutionary war), Fort Hancock on Sandy Hook, Princeton Battlefield, Washington’s crossing. NJ had more battles/skirmishes than any other colony during that time with it being located between NYC and Philadelphia.
Hi JD. Love your channel, especially the civil War ones. Have you considered the gangster theme concept. Ie Capone, Dillinger to name a few, keep em coming brother. Love, peace & Laughter from an exiled Yorkshire man in Spain.
I have actually thought about that. Hope to do something like that in the future.
JD, sorry I missed the live, we had an awful water leak I've been extracting gallons of water all day. I was looking forward to this.
When you were showing the WW 2 uniforms at the museum. I thought I bet they don't have one with an ADC patch, but they sure did. My dad was stationed at Adak. That's why I ask about it. I understand not much left there from the war But it would be cool if you went there
Sad to see an end to the Gettysburg series, but I really enjoyed.
My favorite YT Gettysburg series👍🏻
I lived near Dillsburg, PA. An area 4 miles south (Crystal Springs), toward Gettysburg, I rented a house near an 1820’s horse drawn grist mill & general store 1863. Supposedly, JEB Stuart’s cavalry camped in my yard. Rested there for 2 days Jun 28-29, 1863. I believe, I found one of his spurs. General store & mill was robbed of horses, hogs, wagons, shoes, sugar/salt, etc.
Wrightsville, PA & the Union bridge burning over Susquehanna is another good Gettysburg story
Love ww2 and ww1 I collect ww2 and ww1 as well love the videos keep up with the good work
You could sat at Gettysburg’s I would watch the Gettysburg Channel. But I know there is other history to cover.
Have you been to Fort Snelling in MN? YOU might like it.
Ever do a ghost tour in Gettysburg? The ghost tour guides tell some very good stories about the after effects of the battle. Bummer I never seen a ghost tho!
The history channel should sponsor on some of your ideas Ken burns?
Hi JD, if you want a cool WW2 artifact ask Eric about a German soldiers papers because those are very cool
Dang it! My freezer broke and sidetracked me and I missed it again! Grrr. lol.
James Burke tv series "Connections" went through history and connecting dots- The perfume spritzer (1700's)led to the motor engine carburettor of 1890's. History taught to draw connections between Vietnam and Afghanistan. etc. It is better to learn from the mistakes of others than make them yourself. Histories Bounty.
Vicksburg?
What about the Northwest Territory, living in Ohio I am starting to dig deeper into that era
You should check out the story of the Overmountain Men and the Battle of Kings Mountain.
Question do you know or do you know how this could be found out Are there LiDAR images at ground level of civil war battle sights that show what the areas look like without the vegetation
Are you wrapping up Gettysburg with Episode 158 - the anniversary of the battle??!
I’m from MI too
Are you ever going to do a video on chambersburg pa since it was involved in the civil war
One of these days.
Do you have a Facebook page ? And if you do what is it ?
Yep! You can find a link on the About tab.
Everyone was born into that mess. In western new york where i grew up...i had a black friend (context) whose family was given the property their ancestors were working slaves in when the white family passed away. Thats about as good a story as you can get....and from what i understood....were very grateful
Someone mentioned World War 1. The Battle of Vimy Ridge and the Canadian involvement of World War 1.
did not hear about jeb stuart george custard
Hi how are u hope you doing ok
I just read the story with the camel. Supposedly it was shot by usss and the rebs were mad so the officer of the unit that had the camel sent out some guys to kill the soldiers that did it
JD you’re better than Ken Burns any day
how about doing WW2 war stories
I’ve got a lot of WWII content on this channel that you may like. Check the playlists 🙂
@@TheHistoryUnderground on it thanks
