2018 Winter Lecture Series - Early at the Gates: The Battle of Fort Stevens

[@burdine26.120]

Right. Why can't we see the slides? It's like a wedding where no one can see the bride.

[@RobbyHouseIV]

Good presentation with lots of interesting information. However, I feel compelled to join the chorus line of those that point out the obvious weakness of these KZbin videos not giving the viewer at home a look at the visual aids the speaker is using. I know resources are limited but it certainly would be greatly helpful if the camera could be manned with a person to shift the camera to the slide show as necessary. If that idea doesn't seem practical perhaps you guys could ask the speaker for a copy of his/her slides that could be added at the end of these presentation videos.f It would be better than nothing. Just a thought. Keep up the good work!

[@princeofmoskova]

Why do you not show the slideshow that is an integral part of his presentation? Even inserted in a corner would be better than not shown at all.

[@ccie6011]

Agreed! Not very interesting without seeing what is going on.

[@marymoriarity2555]

The lecture was so informative and well done. But he took time to have pictures which we viewers cannot see.

[@Heystraw]

Please edit this one and insert the slides.

[@bikernu]

" As we can see " See what?!!

[@marymoriarity2555]

Why bother referring to slides if they’re not shown?

[@joycefranklin8981]

Where are the pictures?

[@CaptainHarlock-kv4zt]

slides PLEASE

[@kdkpt]

I always hate not seeing the slides.

[@amyshaffner1215]

Agreed- you miss out on t least 1/2 of the presentation by not seeing the images

[@marymoriarity2555]

Hope d lecture why not show slides also? Are they a secret

[@beidlgsicht]

wow, been interested in this topic since i've read a small note about a defeated raid on washington as a kid. too bad no pictures are shown but still a good lecture.

[@bac6253]

Thoroughly enjoyed your presentation, but very disappointed that we could not see the slideshow. Not being able to see them really deflated so much of your effort.

[@ltrain4479]

Once again, you keep not showing the video slides. Please fix this

[@ccie6011]

Yes, PLEASE fix this! Is it a cost thing? Not having to pay someone to operate a camera?

[@ltrain4479]

M Hohstadt I dont think so. All they have to do is zoom out the camera and pan over a little bit. That is what they did up until this years lecture series.

[@marymoriarity2555]

Yes why bother doing a video if not done correctly.

[@sparkey6746]

Irritating that the slides of the presentation are not shown. That's why I thumbs down it.

[@Zoetropeification]

Would it be so difficult to place the camera so as to show the visual screen as well as the speaker?

[@NovemberJoseph]

Somebody’s not doing their job, no illustrations!

[@Herintruththelies]

Slides please

[@stargazer5598]

Another good lecture ruined by not showing the slide show. My ancestor served in Washingtons defenses at the age of 16.

[@SPhan48]

stargazer5598 do you have any information on him? If so, please contact the Civil War Defenses of Washington. They are working on a project to document soldiers that served in the defenses. K suggest messaging them on their Facebook at Civil War Defenses of Washington.

[@stargazer5598]

Thanks I will. I’ll have to look up his unit again. It was either the 5th or 6th Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery. I have his discharge papers.

[@carywest9256]

@@stargazer5598 No offense to your ancestor or you, but his discharge is more valuable than Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. I say it's nothing but asswipe.

[@doneddy2204]

Would have been a good presentation if you had included the slides instead of a podium. Rookie mistake

[@robertm.9633]

What’s more annoying than watching a presentation that relies on visuals? A presenter who cracks his lips after every verbal pause. I couldn’t get through it.

[@mindbomb9341]

Why in the heck are we not seeing the slides!??!?!??!

[@renatobianchi3060]

Cant see what youre talking about.Its frustrating.

[@carywest9256]

I see a lot of people complain about not seeing the slideshow, along with these goomers a jaw-jacking. Is the lecture series banner that important. It's obvious that we're listening to a lecture.Duh! And what's up with the smacking, that's some annoying do-do! Quit it...

[@rumy6871]

No slides. Fail.

[@grumpycyclist3319]

Once again, failure to show the slides, so lame.

[@chrissmoot7038]

Without the slides this is a worthless presentation, even though it contains interesting information. Felt bad for the Ranger, because he had obviously prepared a great presentation.

[@carywest9256]

You enjoyed the lip smacking?

[@kfoster3616]

IMO- Although the speaker shows great potential, he needs a little more experience in public speaking. Too often he speaks toward the wall and not the people. Also the lip smacking is annoying. It would also be nice if we could see the slides. I'll go to something else.

[@karlburkhalter1502]

Wilderness a bloody stalemate? Grant got whipped, period. obviously this is a biased Lincoln Worshipper.

[@balthazar2749]

Karl Burkhalter lost causer much? Yes, wilderness was not a union win but to immediately jump to Lincoln worshipper is extremely an assessment

[@TorianTammas]

Karl Burkhalter Grant could afford to bleed the South could not.

[@NYexpatriot]

The Wilderness didn't stop Grant from marching on Richmond. Lee failed.
