Ok amor de de0 essa❤😮😊gr😢😅😊😊
Garry Adelman is awesome. He's a walking encyclopedia and has a very interesting way of telling stories that keeps viewers captivated.
I went to Antietam from Australia which was one of the many great places we visited in America. The people of the US were so lovely and friendly and the US so beautiful it made our trip such a memorable experience.
Glad we treated you well!
I’m thinking of doing the same thing next year , may I ask what time of year you did it ?
We love our Australians 😅 glad you had fun!
The feeling is mutual Americans love Aussies
I lived in sharpsburg for several years use to walk the battlefield every evening with my grandfather
Did either of you ever have any type of paranormal experiences? Just curious.
Adelman is the best story telling battlefield guy I’ve ever seen. Keep it up Garry, your the man !!👍
I've been in Dunker Church, and Gary said something's that I did'nt Know!
The History of Dunker Church, after the Battle, till today! Thanks to all of people who work to make it happen!
I doubt you'd find even one moth around that place.
Garry flipping through the pages of his flip book is all the ASMR that I’ll ever need
I can't think about Antietam without the echo of my college girlfriend saying "if you stop at one more battlefield marker I'm gonna scream!"
Good times.
Earlier this year my wife and I spent a week at Gettysburg. We took a day trip down to Antietam and walked the ground you show here in this video. It was one of the most humbling experiences of my life. Having seen those pictures of Bloody Lane numerous times I was particularly touched to walk there. At one point, near where the stairs come down into the lane from the parking area our dog cowered, with her tail between her legs and would not move away from us. I know some may think I'm crazy, but the spirits of the brave men who fought and died there at times come back to visit.
I believe you. If these places move us then why not a dog whose senses are thousands of times greater than ours.
Who knows what your dog sensed/saw/smelled?
@@vivians9392it’s deeper than just that you dunce
This guy is great. A hyperactive speaker who doesn't even take a breath. He must have had 10 cups of coffee. Very informative. That is one huge battlefield area.
😂
I’ve been to Antietam several times and along with Gettysburg and Chickamauga and Chattanooga ( where I live) are my favorite battlefields to visit
The work of the American Battlefield Trust in returning these sites to their historic condition is so crucial to the study of history. As I stand in the Cornfield I can now experience the same landscape that my ancestor viewed. Thanks for everything you do, and keep up the amazing work!
This guy is just amazing. You can tell he LOVES his job. His enthusiasm is awesome. Great history lesson and great video.
This guy is awesome. I went to Antietam a month ago.....epic. Thank you Coach Larry Wolf for taking our 8th grade class here in the 1995-1996 school year.
my great grandfather was there with the 6th La.
I’ve been binging these videos, this guy appreciates history as much as I do. Great work you guys are doing, I hope we can keep younger generations interested in our own American history!!!!
It is so sad seeing our history being demonized and destroyed, hopefully things will turn around!
Im a Boonsboro resident and I absolutely love these videos. Ive learned so much about our local history and the importance of battlefield preservation
Thanks Chris! Be sure to check out our series about Unknown Antietam if you haven't already: th-cam.com/play/PLZrhqv_T1O1t6WUVkPxOWXe5HuutdVm0Z.html
One of my favourite battlefields. Of added interest is the fact that the photographer was actually Alexander Gardner who was born in my home town in Scotland.
I’m not a member of the trust but Adelman makes me want to be a part of it. Only watched half the video and could tell hes really passionate about the history. I’d like to one day see these sites for myself.
Nothing makes the day right like another spectacular Adelman Battlefield production...felt for Tom who worked hard to keep pace with our dynamic host 😉 keep them coming folks!
This is amazing. Everytime I tell my wife I want to do a civil war tour she rolls her eyes and calls me a nerd
And here I am, always asking people to go to a historic site with me! I was a wife who loves history!☺️
@@mijuajua4820 my dad said he’d go to Gettysburg with me lol just this week in fact
I've learned that although folks may have an interest in history, their level often doesn't match mine.
So, I go by myself or meet up with a group of like minded nerds.
Garry Adelman, your enthusiasm for the subjects presented is greatly appreciated.
I had no idea so much development had taken place immediately around the Dunker Church. Another great job by the American Battlefield Trust.
I love when people love their jobs
Garry simply totally rocks hard,u go Garry!!
Regarding Battlefield Visit codes of conduct that Gary mentioned, I liked the way the docents as the Carnton plantation at Franklin Battlefield said it: The pointed out that hundreds of men had passed away in the Carnton house, and that many people had been enslaved there, so they asked visitors to refrain from joking and to respect the dignity of those who had suffered.
I need to go on our a tour with the battlefield trust sometime. Gary is so freaking enthusiastic
Yes, his enthusiasm is stimulating!
Hi Garry, many thanks for this video! The canteen of a US soldier found its way to me in Berlin/Germany. It was picked up right after the battle of Antietam. I could make out a name stamped on the strap, hidden in a knot. A Union soldier named LONARGAN lost his canteen, but hopefully not his life in Antietam... I also have an original Civil War newspaper with a report of the battle of Antietam, written in German.
Thanks Garry. I always appreciate your battlefield tours.
Thank you Gary and Tom! My wife and I are very proud to be members of The Trust.
Thanks!
Awesome video. I love your passion and energy. Farming fact. Corn at the time was planted in a grid pattern of squares. Each row was two feet apart so a horse can fit through it to cultivate each row to keep the weeds down. This causes raised rows on each row of corn, which made it really hard to march across. Love what you guys do. Keep it coming. 😃
I don't need guy with this much energy and enthusiasm explaining the Antietam.
What a shock it’d be as a soldier witnessing total carnage several hours all day. 😳
Good humor and wit, a beautiful spot.
One of the most controversial battles civil war. Thank you all that you do to keep history alive.
Gary is a National Treasure!
You’re so great to do what you do Gary
Excellent Video, thank you very much ! And thank you for all you guys are doing in saving our history!
I recently discovered that my great-great-great grandfather was with Alabama 6th Infantry, Co G, and supposedly was killed during the Battle of Antietam on September 17, 1862. He was supposedly in his late 60s and was a sniper/sharpshooter. One of his sons was killed earlier in the summer.
I have walked that battlefield and never knew I may have walked past the place where he died. Or near his remains, if they’re still there. He was never recovered and burial location unknown. (It is also unfortunate he was fighting on the wrong side of the war, too.)
This is fantastic! And I is a wonderful showcase of the work of the Battlefield Trust! My son and I are planning a visit to Antietam. This really helps interpret what we will be seeing. Thanks so much for the work you do in preservation of these sacred sites.
The photos really help to showcase why they choose to do battle here.
At 4:47, the soldier with the baggy pants, jacket buttoned completely to his neck, and slouch hat, standing with head slightly bowed, close to the left wheel of the cannon is possibly John A. Fairman. A horse's head is pictured directly behind Fairman.
Gary's point about the thickly-positioned rebel dead is a good one. The scene was likely created by Union troops who were occupying the lane after the rebels retreated.
I just LOVE.... Love.... these videos!
I need to make a visit here as soon as possible. My great great great grandfather Martin Wilmore fought at this battle. He was part of the 132nd Penn. Vol. Inf.
This man needs a tranquilizer for his hyper personality...God bless him for his presentations!
Thank you for sharing! I've been to Antietam but having you explain it with pictures puts it all into perspective. Oh yes I agree that Garry is an excellent story teller.
As a 20+ year ABT member. I must say, Gary makes the BEST videos.
Visited Antietam back in the mid-late 70s as part of one of our trips to Gettysburg but it was only part of one day and I was a bit too young to understand the battle very well. Plan to visit this year I hope, trying to get myself psyched to make the drive, watching videos and reading books.
Your really knowledgeable Garry , awesome but easy on the caffeine 😂
I only drink decaf! GA
@@AmericanBattlefieldTrust 👍👌😆
Excellent. How do you keep that energy level up all day long? Keep up the good work. Do you also write books about the Civil War? What is your favorite battlefield story?
Great video. Your passion makes it more interesting. So much hell in such a short time and small area. Civil War monuments are about the brave soldiers...regardless of the cause they generally fought for their brothers in arms.
Just imagine if this dude shows up to work with a cup of coffee in hand, the screams of horror from his coworkers could be heard over even the loudest battles on these battlefields!
Love watching you, Garry. Thanks for all you do!
This guy is great. Great job Garry.
Absolutely loved the video Garry Adelman it was such an honor to meet you too at Gettysburg for the reenactment thank you so much for taking the time to talk with me.
My pleasure Alessandro! GA
I was there one year really early, before they opened. Started driving around and came across this trailer just sittin there. Said Reba on the door. Mustve been her spot before the July 4th concert. But I like to think she was sleepin in it and if I wouldve only knocked, heehee
great stuff - passion & knowledge! cheers
This dude brings the energy! love it
Thanks for this overview. Hadn't seen it when it was posted but now timing is perfect as an accompaniment to Vermilya's "That Field of Blood." No matter how well-written and illustrated with 2-D maps a book is, accounts can't be understood without seeing the actual terrain. Proud to be a member of ABT.
I just started reading Frassanito’s book “Antietam” today!! It is easier for me to visualize the area you are in. Thank you!! I’m looking forward to reading his other books.
Gary you are AWESOME!! Love ❤ your informative video!! ❤ and Respect Tamsen Robert's in Riverside Cali..
Gary is intense, no question about it. But that is a very good thing. Gary Adelman is one of the most powerful and important people ever involved in the teaching of the history of the American Civil War. It would be impossible to overstate Gary's impact on the study, presentation and impact of the history of the Civil War. Thank you, Gary. And thank you Tom and all of the staff of the American Battlefield Trust. Your work is priceless, and it will resonate through the ages. This is truly an awesome video.

I've been to Antietam three times. After watching this video, I'm ready for trip number four. Great video, I love how you put things in perspective. Well done!
Would love to see more detailed presentation of the Irish Brigade and the fighting at Bloody Lane.
Went there with my family maybe 10 years ago, we toured the battlefields and saw the monument to the Irish Brigade (and other monuments).
Would love to return someday and really hike the trails - couldn't do that with my relatives in tow !
Great work on these presentations!
Thanks for another cool video. This was the first time I've seen the inside of Dunker Church.
If anyone wants to fight at Antietam, play War of Rights for PC…they have battles at Antietam in the east woods, millers cornfield, roulette lane, sunken road…it’s AMAZIN!!
Love the energy in your presentation Garry. Keep bringing it!!!
THANK YOU!! Awesome presentation!!
i love your zeal brother, we have a great country, worth fighting and dying for.
"Go to the light" - Garry Adelman
I know how Garry feels I get all giddy when talking about chickamauga
bloody battle on beautiful place...thanks for the upload.
Thank you all so much for everything you are doing!!! Please never give up, fight on!!!
Yes, I have been there and walked the lane with a good friend some years ago in December ,have some excellent pics of the lane from the center looking in both directions...
Excellent content! Visiting for the first time later in September and it was a PERFECT primer. Walking over the ground (even viewing behind a camera lens) is priceless in understanding the battle. Thank you!
Ohh…and I’m a member ☺️
Gary you are so awesome and can tell a story like no other.....and tom your a hell ofva cameraman !
Thank you for posting. I have always wanted to visit this battlefield, but never had the funds or opportunity.
Thankyou for your presentation, well done ! I visited Oct. 14, 2018. I look forward to another visit.
Yo this guy Tom, certified pound for pound one of the most Badass dudes on this planet.
Love my fellow man with a zeal for teaching and helping others understand and put into perspective just how we got to our reality here today.
Gary, I love your enthusiasm for the subject. It's nice to know I'm not alone.
I am looking forward to these all year long! Great work guys!!!
I would like to see a video on the battle of Shiloh if possible.
Thank you for all that you do.
Just google Shiloh animated map and you will see a very cool video!
Great presentation guys! Your thorough descriptions and details, are greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work!
In the form of feedback which you requested, I am fascinated by the fact that on many of the battlefields, actual pieces of field artillery are the exact same ones that were there during the battle in the very position you see them while you are visiting. I wish there were some central body of information that would tell us which pieces these are. It would add so much to the immediacy of standing there.
awesome
Thanks for opening this one up!
Thank you Gary. Ed from Lynchburg
Thank you for posting this, you guys are terrific!
Excellent video thank you so much for sharing the History
Great job guys! Enjoy these videos immensely!

Great job Garry keep up the great work.
Awesome job. I love your excitement and knowledge of the history. Spotless!
Great show on film
Wow! Thanks for sharing! Very informative and I love the energy.
A most excellent video guys. Hats off to everyone that created this!
You guys are the best ! As always it’s a great pleasure to watch. Thanks for taking us along and sharing your knowledge and brilliant commentary of these battles
Excellent presentation!
Amazing. Great job guys!
So grateful for your channel! The explanations, maps, pictures… wonderful! The old photos being matched up to fields give me the chills. Getting to go to and enjoy the battle fields right from my iPad! Almost as good as being there but not having to travel. Thank you
