    Just saw Doug crossing Chambersburg Street, by the 7/11. It was like seeing a rockstar after watching trust videos all day.

    First, this is great stuff. So, thank you. I always live the days of Gettysburg in late June through 3 p.m. on July 3. Been to battlefield many times on those days. However, I need to argue with the historian's opinion at 9:00 who, though he rightly argues of the criticality of Howard's choice to rally the Army at Cemetery Hill, without Buford's successful delaying action west of town, the Confederates would have rolled right into town and most probably would have occupied Cemetery Hill long before Reynolds and the First Corps arrived. I think we too often wrongly try to reduce very complex historical events into one or two key moments for the sake of simplicity and just to try to wrap our heads around things, but the only simple fact is that there are way too many key moments in this battle, which, had they gone another way, "woulda", "coulda". "shoulda" turned the tide of battle.

    Passionate intelligent discussion on a fascinating prelude and opening act to the battle. Really interesting discussion on the human equation and how soldiers endured the carnage then ultimately had enough and left for home. Great job to all involved.

    Seems to me this is the story of the Union on the 1st day of Gettysburg. But I expect that’s where we are in history. To the victor goes the Narrative. As per Gen. Cleburne.

    Speaking of 11th Corps artillery, can you add anything to the accounts of the Ohio light artillery battery K under Captain Heckman? As I understand it they fought a fighting retreat in support of Coster's brigade at the Brickyard.

    Another outstanding video. Think Tim was great. Need better orientation of where you are when the video begins and the title is not correct. This is really about the 11th Corps fight north of Gettysburg. This part of the battle is so seldom discussed, learned so much from this great team!! Again, Outstanding video! I have studied the Civil War for many years, these videos have filled so many questions I have had and have given me a really more clear understanding of what happened! Well done from a great team ! PS, my ancestor lived in Arkansas and the Confederate Army marched and took him away to fight. He was captured and died at Point Lookout Maryland POW camp. His name is on the mass grave there.

    ~GETTYSBURG~ My Great {blah, blah} Grand-Dad was a rough Commander. When he was giving orders to a soldier to "Charge". A cannonball blew the head off the soldier. This infuriated my Grand Dad. His diary reads, "Just as I gave the order to charge. A cannonball blew his brain matter all over my uniform. I shouted, telling him he should never lose his head in battle. I then court-martialed him for not following orders." -Bill Howes, Civil War historian and proud of his Grand Dad.

    you mentioned the 45th NY. What about the 58th NY and Krzyzanowski's Brigade? Wasn't Col. Krzyzanowski awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions here?

  • @wendeln92
    @wendeln92 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Howard was kind of a nut but he had his moments. I also think it sucks the 11th Corps as a whole was so badly judged but it wasn't the fault of the soldiers if they were badly lead. The officers were complacent at Chancellorsville and their officers were not much better at Gettysburg. For years I thought Barlow was some kind of hero til I realized his actions at Barlow Knoll were not very prudent. Lastly, the Confederates greatly outnumbered Union soldiers on the first day - not that great of an initial victory. .

    My great great grandfather was in the 11th Corp but I believe the 73rd Ohio was held back on Cemetery Hill.

      You are right Joanna. They were led by Orland Smith, a fine commander. They were held back and on the front line closest to town.

    Here's another diary from a Civil War soldier who might not have an intelligent family tree. It states, "I was talking to my twin brother when a cannonball entered his head. The sound was deafening as it rattled around his noggin for a while. Other than a slight headache he was fine. We sat down and ate lunch." -Bill Howes, Civil War historian.

    Not sure about anyone else when visiting Gettysburg, but something feels different when out on the battlefield. The way it has been preserved has a strange quietness that is hard to explain. In certain parts there are no businesses, no roads and very oddly the air feels different.

    7:45 Barlow moves troops too far forward and compromises the union northern positions
    12:35 regiment commanders head is blown to smithereens by a cannonball!
    20:30 Americans concept of war at the time was from paintings and woodcuts, dying in heroic poses . a far cry from the bloody bloated corpses

      Yeah, Gary needed a "time out", until.........G'burg 159 or 160 would be good.
      And, they needed a wind cover (an old sock) for mic.
      Between wind noise & Gary "machine gun mouth" commenting.................
      I actually preferred the wind noise.

    I have always felt that Gettysburg was simply the most organic battle of the war. There was no grand strategy on ether side and everything unfolded in the heat of the moment. I can't imagine the confederacy would have intentionally pushed the union into a better defensive position had they had known what was unfolding.
