Well done, & Thank you so much.
Thanks for posting! i walked that walk when I visited Gettysburg but didn't realize it was the same walk Lincoln made.
Thanks for all the great Gettysburg Historical videos. Really appreciated.
Gettysburg is definitely on my bucket list! Gary and Wayne your enthusiasm is infectious! Love this video and all that the American Battlefield Trust does!
Yea,You guys make a a great pair!!!
Love to more about Gettysburg train station.!!
I never actually had a chance to visit the town only the battlefield. Now I must return and see the town itself and all the museums there. Thank you for sharing this video!
What a GREAT video! As much as we read in history books that Lincoln traveled by train to/from Gettysburg to deliver his world-famous Gettysburg Address, I've never seen the train station!
You guys are great. Your enthusiasm for history shows. Gettysburg is like an onion. Each time you peel something back you discover something else. You should go at least 100 times. Keep up the good work.
To both of you, I love your excited exuberance !!! That can’t be faked! You’re perfect!!! Thank you!!!
Another excellant video, so informative and entertaining
Great video again
Very nice education . Greetings from the netherlands.
another great video ty ABT supporter
Awesome, awesome. Been there twice and yet to go to that home. So much to do.
This is really interesting!
It is so great to see these great two guys speaking about that great man, who was Abraham Lincoln and his great Gettysburg speach. So many great informations.
But so few people know that the most famous, most enduring line of this speech, the "All for the people by the people...", was actually inspired to Lincoln by another great man of the 19th century, the leader of the Hungarian Revolution and Freedom War, Lajos (in English Louis) Kossuth, on February 7, 1852 to the Ohio Legislature on his American tour. Kossuth said these words: “The spirit of our age is Democracy. All for the people, and all by the people. Nothing about the people without the people…" Although it is no record that the two met, but Lincoln certainly red this text of this speech, liked liked this line of it, and used it in his Gettysburg address.
Interestingly this interesting detail about the Gettysburg address is so little known by the public. Even in Hungary, in the last month I heard twice in the TV, illustrous intelectuals mentioning the "All for the people..." line of Lincoln's Gettysburg address, but without mentioning that this was inspired actually by Hungary's greatest politician in its modern history, Lajos Kossuth. It seems that they did not know this.
Another interesting thing which binds Kossuth to Gettysburg is that it is a legend, that he made a speech, actually a prayer, at the battlefield of Kápolna, one of the greatest battles of the 1848-49 Hungarian Freedom War against the Austrian imperial army, right after the battle (25-27 February 1849). The modern historians discovered that this speech actually did not happened, but many dozen contemporary lithographs and paintings depict Kossuth on his knees, speaking to the crowd at the battlefield of Kápolna. And of course it exists also a text of this speech written by István Roboz, the secretary of a regional politician, after reading in the newspaper the news about the battle. His text was believed that it is really the prayer of Kossuth on the battlefield, and immediately the litographs started to be made of it, and the legend was born. I even found one such image, depincting Kossuth praying on the Kápolna battlefield at Brown University Library's online images. So this legend or maybe propaganda from the Hungarian government, although did never happened, it was firmly believed until our days. Who knows, maybe Lincoln, who seemingly admired Kossuth, heard or saw an image about this supposed address, when he decided to make the Gettysburg address.
What a fantastic video!
I was unaware that President Lincoln stayed over night at Gettysburg. Thank you.
KATHRYN AND MYSELF ...BEST WEEKEND EVER....AT GETTYSBURG..
Hello from Australia :)
Thanks great job
I wish I loved my job even a 10th as much as these guys love theirs!
Gary had some extra coffee today.
These guys need a History Channel show
i want to go to Gettysburg
I love these vids, watch a lot of them, and like the energy that Gary always brings: He's always entertaining and informative, and this was no exception - on his part that is. To my ear, however, Wayne is unlistenable because he has one of those voices that seems to yelling at you the entire time (because it is) - as if the subject matter is so uninteresting that it needs to be oversold by raising the volume at which he's explaining things. The timbre of his voice sounds as if it's way strained (again, because it probably is}. He really needs to dial it back. After a minute or two, I just fast forwarded through his parts and got through it that way.
For some reason I always thought there was only one unfinished railroad cut going into Gettysburg. Weird huh?
Thank you! I always learn something new from your videos. I want to add the cheesecake is great at the Lincoln Diner.
Why did Lincoln stay 25 days? That seems like a long time for a President to stay in one place expecially in such tumultuous times. Did he tour the battlefield?
16:24 Shame on me! 🙂 I’ll make a point of it next trip.
Abraham Lincoln by History those halls regional rails by the law bringer check by Nostradamus Illinois central echocard
Can you guys slow down and not be as excited or loud!
You do realize that the Rail Road was NOT disturbed by the Confederate Army?. They did NOT tie the rails into Uncle Billy's neck ties and they left the building intact and did NOT loot, or burn it. And this was a place Gettysburg did commerce.
Now! Yes Abraham Lincoln was there in November 1863, Just because he did NOT have the guts to be there July 1, 2, 3, 1863. To see the carnage, that he caused .From going against the Constitution as a REPUBLIC. And by Refusing to NEGOTIATE. But instead, to get him, what he wanted, he RAISED an Army against his own people.
Now, was Lincoln there, at Gettysburg, before he, wrote his "Unconstitutional" Conscription Act and Emancipation Proclamation And his Union Army conscipting Immigrants, off the arriving Ships in the New York harbor, at gun point: To Replenish his RANKS? ..Against the American people...
Had the News papers arrived yet, telling about the Rioting in New York City, over the
Conscription Act...And had dear old Abe, order the Union Ships to BOMB NEW YORK CITY, before his brief stop at Gettysburg.
Did you ask Old Abe, what his reaction was to Ohio, Indiana and Illinoiss' Legislatures drafting Secession paper from the Union and their contemplation of the Ohio "Common Wealth" uniting assetts and becoming the "North West Confederacy? And was dear Old Abe honked when the Ohio Common Wealth denied him access to their states Treasuries and they had removed them to Montreal, Canada. Because "The Ohioan Common Wealth people would "Not ALLOW one penny, of their TAXPAYERS money, go to fund a war against any of the American people?"
Did you ask old Abe, "How was he going to Feed the People?" After 3 years of crops not being planted, cause he had the American Farmers all off playing Soldiers, to get Abe the Southerners' Wealth?
And the inflation was going through the ceiling, for the USA Economy was on it's face.. From Abraham Lincolns' ambition for greed.
Now, Abe did you say, that you managed to get four the ship loads of Africans shipped back to Africa, or was it seven?
And had any one reported the execution count yet, from Abes' order, to the Pow camps at Fort Douglas and Governor Island? The last count at Fort Douglas was 5,000+... He had demasculated the POWs and they had disposed of the POWs corpses, in Lake Michigan.
And one out of every three of those Americans' POW men were Civilian Local Farmers, that had been denied "Due PROCESS of Law."
Abe you must be really proud to have suspended the "Constitution" and placed the entire USA under Your Military RULE... And the only way a citizen that you "accused," to get a hearing was to PETITION your "Union Army." ...
Oh by the way.. What was this about "UNION?" once again?
And oh, by the way, Just what did you WIN? You maintain you FREED the slaves? The Slaves has never even received the
Forty acres and a mule you promised them.
Enjoy your time at Gettysburg...I throughly enjoy my visits to the Quaint little Town.
Thank you...Fleece them Carpet baggers all you can.
