Love this channel!!!! I’m obsessed! Thank you so very much for sharing your passion , I hope one day to be able to see these amazing locations and pieces of history myself. Definitely an inspiration 👏👏👏❤️ AMAZING CONTENT * watching from MAINE 😃
I love the way you ask people to subscribe. I see so many videos where they ask you to like and subscribe at the beginning of the video. I usually don't do either. When I see your posts, I like them before I watch. I know its going to be excellent!
I've been to all these sites. After 4 visits, I need to go back. So much more to see. G-burg is a great place to visit. A ghost tour is also recommended.
I watch this series again and again. Thank you for treating both sides so respectfully. Tim Smith, of course, is a genius in all things Civil War. I hope to meet him on a future trip to Gettysburg. Thank you for this series. I’ve enjoyed it so much!
Being a Civil War reenactor, I love learning new things. The fact that you would be turned away if you showed up at the wrong Corp field hospital was something I found extremely interesting. I never knew or even considered that. Fantastic video, as always!
Yeah, I thought that was interesting. Imagine " excuse me, but I'm in dire need! I'm holding my head on my neck cuz a cannonball hit me!" "Oh, sorry, you're going to have to huff it up the street to your own hospital, can't help you here!"
I'm right there with you buddy I've been reenacting for around 12 years and I know quite a bit about the civil war but I always strive to learn as much as I possibly can! --- dom 29th VA coF
"Calvito" is so knowledge, he never goes anywhere with out his "cap", his cap is so iconic, Everytime I see one, my thoughts dwell on "Calvito" and his knowledgeable tours of history.
I always loved all the witness trees that they've marked all over Gettysburg. Just getting to touch something that was there during the Battle and "saw" it happen is so cool.
How fun this experience was to actually visit the town and learn about that battle carrying over into the town. My favorite is seeing the “witness tree” and the actual photo of that tree . If only that tree could talk!
There are actually a few witness trees still alive. There are a couple in town right next to each other plus several in and around the battlefield. If you do some research online about the trees,you might have to dig, but it's worth the time. If you're close enough to Gettysburg to visit and see these this trees. It's leaves you with a great deal of satisfaction. Good luck
I am so disappointed!! Not with your video, of coarse, but because I missed so so much when I came to Gettysburg a few years ago. I have to come back now, this is crazy awesome stuff. Thanks for your videos!
I love watching Tim Smith on the American Battlefield Trust and the Adams County Historical Society videos! He is one of the foremost historians on Gettysburg!!!!
I had the good fortune and privilege of getting Tim Smith for a personal tour that the visitor center offers(which I highly recommend),way back in November of 1992. I had been studying the battle pretty seriously and just had a tremendous time touring the field with Tim. After a three hour tour we did another three hours the next day lol. Hanging out at The Farnsworth House tavern and discussing the battle with historians and authors like William Frassanito, Greg Coco and Tim is something I'll never forget.Tim told me I should move to Gettysburg and become a tour guide...and I came close to doing so, even had the guide test scheduled, all those years ago. It's woken up in me again. I still dream of moving there.
It is staggering to imagine the amount of munitions from both sides of the conflict that were fired during the duration of the battle. Can't imagine the fear that family experienced when that unexploded live shell rolled into the room they were in! So many stories that have not been told... Thank you for another well done video and for preserving the history.
JD when you thought Gettysburg had been discussed at length. You give us a whole new view. I have never seen a briefing on the urban fighting that took place. Popular history covers the high points. But The History Underground covers so much more. Thank you for all that you do to bring us along.
You always get the most interesting people to give us some insight. Bravo. Always great. I was in Gettysburg for the first time a couple years ago. I stayed overnight, but left in the afternoon for Nazareth. Martin guitar pilgrimage from VA.
Thank you for this series, I am really enjoying it.. I love all of your videos, every time I get a notification, I stop what I am doing and sit down and watch, I am a history buff myself, thank you again for another educational video... Have an awesome day...
Such a great video about part of the battle that most do not think about. Wars extend from the battlefield and you did an excellent job showing us how it impacted the city!
Poor citizens must have been terrified! But so much courage was displayed by them. Never saw the actual town of Gettysburg. Fascinating so much remains of the battle. Bullet holes and cannon balls in the bricks. Wow! Great video. 👍👍👍
I appreciate when he is telling the stories and suggests that it might not be true and it has been debated. He doesn't state it as fact, just that it is a story. Many historical battle stories have been embellish to make the central figure seem more heroic, or the event more exciting than it really was. Which is human nature to be important and respected. Some reflections and accounts of battles and engagements are a combination of several battles or events mixed into one story. It's great this speaker let's the viewers know this.
I went to Gettysburg twice in the past, it is an amazing place. The stories that the tour guides and the locals give are just unbelievable I saw one of the cannonballs, I heard about the snipers I heard about people hiding in the basements. It’s was just crazy stuff! Great video, I want to visit again.
I was hoping you had done this during your visit. Can’t wait to hear your take on the Jennie Wade story. As per usual, you always find so many things I’ve missed during my visits to these places. So awesome for folks that might never get to visit. Love it, keep em coming.
The second I saw the title I knew this would be a good one. Great video, learned a ton! Would love to of explored the town with Tim in person, I'm sure that was quite the treat. 👍
The Farnsworth House has GREAT food! I've been to Gettysburg many times and always learn something new each trip. Can't wait to see what else you have planned!
Two Southern soldiers that were fighting at Culps Hill, at night on the first day, ducked into a house in south Gettysburg to get a few hours sleep. Another fellow soldier stood out front and after a few hours went in to wake them up and return to the fighting.
The devastation that happened those 3 days in July was monumental. To have the battle also be fought in town must of been overwhelmingly terrifying for the residents. Have visited numerous Civil War battlefields this one was the most moving of all of them.
Yours vids are always great, I really enjoy watching them for their honest, straightforward approach and quality production and I am particularly enjoying this Gettysburg series. I am not from the U.S. but lived there for a few years a long time ago and have been to Gettysburg and other battlefields more recently. It is awesome you get the experts in - the NPS and battlefield trust in the US are second to none, an amazing group of passionate experts. I had such an great experience as a foreigner spending a couple weeks just going from one battleground to the next and immersing myself in the history and knowledge. Keep up the awesome work.
I was most fascinated with those "witness trees"! I think I'll google the images from the time of the battle and the way they look today. Since I can't travel, I sure appreciate your videos of historic towns and places. Thanks again!
6:24 when I was in scouts we took a trip to Gettysburg and my troop decided to go through that haunted house and I could barely make it through the first room before I had a panic attack and ended up on that front porch loosing it. Good memories
@@TheHistoryUnderground my Great, Great Grandfather just missed the battle. He was wounded in May at Chancellorsville. Co D 33rd NY after Chancellorsville was merged with another unit that participated in the Battle. He also managed to miss Antietam having been captured but then paroled. He had to sit that one out. Love the channel, keep up the great work.
Thanks for knew information,I stayed at Farnsworth house for 5days took in I could but you have shown me things I didnt know,the history there is always fascinating, I like all your videos, Thanks for sharing.
I always enjoy your videos. Love history, especially from 1840-1870. However I never get enough information about the Civil War. I look forward to seeing your new videos that I haven’t seen. Thank you for all the time and trouble you go to so people like me can continue learning. Stay safe in your travels. 🙏👍
Gettysburg is one of the most fascinating battles fought during the civil war,and the cannon balls still in these structures are amazing,those poor men🖒.. cA
Again, wonderful series! The level commentary and presentation of facts is much appreciated. I’m looking forward to the continuing episodes! My hat is off sir!
Seen most of those houses on my trip there. Just so much to see in and about Gettysburg. I spent four days there, and probably never saw guessing a fourth that was then there. Spent most time driving and walking the battlefield itself. Really enjoying this series.
It's interesting, war in general seems so matter of fact when you're only viewing the battles. This look into how the war affected the civilians makes it so much more real and tragic.
We stayed a few years ago in one of the B&Bs in town of which one of it’s buildings was standing in 1863. Our room looked to the south and the exterior wall had several bullet holes in the brick. A great experience
This was a great video! I am sure we all are "aware" that the town was occupied and saw heavy action but this was really interesting and refreshing take. Huzzah!
JD, thanks for peeling away some of the layers of the battle. Your videos are demonstrating that Gettysburg is not a place for a one day visit. One can spend a week in this area not only learning about Gettysburg but visiting the Civil War museum in Harrisburg but, also visiting Carlisle and learning that a battle took place there on July 1st.
You are a very humble guy! This video was fantastic.I really appreciate your efforts. I can't imagine the sheer terror those town folk felt when this battle was happening! Carry on young man!
"I'm just going to leave these artillery shells and bullet holes right here." I'm not sure that would have been my thoughts at the time, but I'm glad someone else decided to do just that. Thanks for another peek at some of the history you don't usually hear about.
@@TheHistoryUnderground Have you ever thought about coming to Fayetteville NC? Gen. Sherman came to town and made it known to the Confederates. By the way I love your blogs on the Civil War. The one on the conditions of Andersonville brought tears to my eyes. No one should ever have been treated that badly. Have you visited the gravesites where the 8 crew members of the Hunley are buried? I live alone and have no one to go with me to Gettysburg, ( I live in Fayetteville), Andersonville ( to pay my respects to the prisoners who survived and died) or Charleston. So your blogs are it for me. Thank you for doing them. I love seeing original items of that time period and the extra history.
Wow! That was amazing. So great to see a part of history still standing. I’m just blown away at the whole concept of it all. So much to know n to definitely learn. This was a good one. Will definitely remember this n those witness trees. ♥️♥️😊👍great
Very informative i never kne the troops stormed the city streets an the townsfolk hiden . i love it when i learn something new about the civil war it excites me like the 1st time everytime
Gettysburg looks like a sleepy little town. I know I haven't seen it all, but it just looks so cozy. That would be so crazy to live during those times and having guns fire and cannonballs whizzing past you while trying to eat dinner.

Tim is great! So are these posts!
Another great thing about your videos is that you give sources for more info and INVOLVEMENT-I love that!
I was wondering if you were going to talk to Tim Smith in this series. He's a legend in Gettysburg and Adams county historical knowledge. Bravo!
His depth of knowledge really is amazing.
History, where would we be without it.
Bound to repeat it.
I watch this series again and again. Thank you for treating both sides so respectfully.
Tim Smith, of course, is a genius in all things Civil War. I hope to meet him on a future trip to Gettysburg. Thank you for this series. I’ve enjoyed it so much!
Thanks. I don't think that there's another living person who knows more about The Battle of Gettysburg than Tim Smith.
Being a Civil War reenactor, I love learning new things. The fact that you would be turned away if you showed up at the wrong Corp field hospital was something I found extremely interesting. I never knew or even considered that. Fantastic video, as always!
Yeah, I thought that was interesting as well. Thanks!
Yeah, I thought that was interesting. Imagine " excuse me, but I'm in dire need! I'm holding my head on my neck cuz a cannonball hit me!" "Oh, sorry, you're going to have to huff it up the street to your own hospital, can't help you here!"

Very cool physical history still preserved. Thank you for showing it!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
"Calvito" is so knowledge, he never goes anywhere with out his "cap", his cap is so iconic, Everytime I see one, my thoughts dwell on "Calvito" and his knowledgeable tours of history.
I always loved all the witness trees that they've marked all over Gettysburg. Just getting to touch something that was there during the Battle and "saw" it happen is so cool.
Another great adventure! Thank you. Keep up your interesting work. I will be watching.
👍🏻
How fun this experience was to actually visit the town and learn about that battle carrying over into the town. My favorite is seeing the “witness tree” and the actual photo of that tree . If only that tree could talk!
I agree with you. The witness trees are so cool. I love when they have old pictures of them.
There are actually a few witness trees still alive. There are a couple in town right next to each other plus several in and around the battlefield. If you do some research online about the trees,you might have to dig, but it's worth the time. If you're close enough to Gettysburg to visit and see these this trees.

Those shells and cannon balls in the wall..... They put alot of effort in preserving those little pieces of history!! Thats amazing to see! 👍
Pretty cool! Just imagine what's under the ground.
I could watch this Gettysburg series over and over.
Fantastic job !! Couldn't ask for anything better than this page to learn about history..well done!!
I am so disappointed!! Not with your video, of coarse, but because I missed so so much when I came to Gettysburg a few years ago. I have to come back now, this is crazy awesome stuff. Thanks for your videos!

One of the best!
Very interesting to hear of the damage and violence in the town . I wasn't aware it was so bad !!
Pretty crazy what those people went through.
Thank you for bringing these stories to us. I grew up in Carlisle PA and got to Gettysburg as often as I could as a child.
I live in Maine and have been to Gettysburg twice. Your video has made me realize I need to go again. Thank You.
Nice work. There is no guide better than Tim Smith.

Glad you like them!
Im going soon
It's kind of weird to see this because I was just there in April if you do go to Gettysburg make sure you stop by Dobbin house for a meal
Great episode. Said it once, love seeing our history
Such a great video about part of the battle that most do not think about. Wars extend from the battlefield and you did an excellent job showing us how it impacted the city!
Fantastic! You are doing such a great job with this adventure. To have the enemy troops and live firing right outside your home had to be terrifying.
Been there but missed much of this part of town. This gives me reason to go back.
Loved this video last year and again this fall. YT has brought back into my feed a lot of your older videos. Fun!
Poor citizens must have been terrified! But so much courage was displayed by them. Never saw the actual town of Gettysburg. Fascinating so much remains of the battle. Bullet holes and cannon balls in the bricks. Wow! Great video. 👍👍👍
Awesome job JD ! Love the little side stories of the urban combat ! Incredible!
Thanks!
Excellent! I have admired Tim Smith's expertise for years..
He’s quite the guy.
Second time here!🇺🇸 ☮️👍💖And your as smart as Tim! Great video and series! Thank you
Ha! No way, but thanks.
Thank you for this series. I have enjoyed each episode so far.
Another great episide of this series. Excellent 👍🏻😎
Glad you enjoy it!
Of my 15 years of living in Gettysburg I've never seen Mr G's that empty it's always packed and for good reason best ice cream I've ever had
Really cool. I learned a lot from this video that I hadn't learned in all the time that I've spent researching.
I'm learning a lot too. Thanks!
Thanks both of you for another great video👍👍
Thanks 👍
I’m loving your blogs from Gettysburg! I’m learning so much. Great job!

Love the cannon ball story (thank you Tim). The buildings and Witness Tree so intriguing, great Vlog series.
Having an old civil war cannon ball stuck in your wall, could you imagine?! Lol Good stuff!!

Thanks!
I am loving the series! Excellent video!

Glad to hear it! Thanks!

Thanks! I found those to be quite fascinating as well.
Wow never thought about urban combat in Gettysburg! Great video!
Thanks!
I have been to Gettysburg in the late 1900's,before the renovation. WOW. I enjoyed seeing the way it looks now 😊.
This is a great video! I was not familiar with the urban fighting in Gettysburg. Thanks for making this video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great presentations! Thanks for letting us see some of the little known buts if history. To me this makes it more real and interesting.
Our pleasure!

There might be a video later on in the series that you'll like ;)

Glad you enjoyed!
Absolutely love that witness tree! This is what history is all about! You do a great job on these videos... thnx for sharing ☺️
Thanks! I found those to be quite interesting as well.
Tim Smith is a great historian and knows Gettysburg!
Like no other.
When him and Garry Aldeman do a tour of gettysburg, it is fantastic. They are a dynamic duo.
Thanks, Tim's Dad!
Kidding! Love hi?

It's interesting, war in general seems so matter of fact when you're only viewing the battles. This look into how the war affected the civilians makes it so much more real and tragic.
We stayed a few years ago in one of the B&Bs in town of which one of it’s buildings was standing in 1863. Our room looked to the south and the exterior wall had several bullet holes in the brick. A great experience

And the animals, too. Imagine being a dog trapped in some cellar with all that thundering going on for three days.
Great video. Love the Gettysburg stuff and got see some stuff I never stopped and saw while I was in town. Thanks for the history lesson
Incredible.
"I'm just going to leave these artillery shells and bullet holes right here." I'm not sure that would have been my thoughts at the time, but I'm glad someone else decided to do just that.
