Ambrose Wright's Georgians on July 2 - Gettysburg Battle Walk with Ranger Matt Atkinson

Ranger Matt Atkinson leads a battle walk covering General Ambrose R. Wright's brigade on July 2, 1863, and their attack on Cemetery Ridge.
Ranger Atkinson and the NPS hold the rights to the notes and lecture.
My hand is visible in some of the video. There was a good breeze that day and I was trying to shield the mic from wind noise.

Must have been Bike Week in Gettysburg that weekend. It is absolutely awful for visitors who actually care about history and want to visit the battlefield.

Thank you for these videos Stuff Writer. Matt is charming, funny and makes history come alive. He should have his own KZbin channel!

[@stevenmay2937]

ranger matt is the best ranger at gettysburg... hands down !!! love him

[@johnfanning9185]

It would be more informative if the camera operator would focus on what Matt is pointing at rather than at Matt pointing

[@BilgePump]

Don’t get me wrong Matt is A#1 in my book. The star of the show. Ther is a gentleman on you tube with his own channel, Jeffery the librarian. The NPS needs to recruit that mofo, he’s outstanding. I think Matt would be the first to agree.

All these Rangers are fantastic, well informed knowledgeable historians. Matt is all that that a natural entertainer too. Makes it all the more fun to watch! Keep up the good work Matt!

[@Sheilamarie2]

Park Ranger Matt is the best, it's best to sprinkle History lessons with humor, and Matt is a natural. I hope he realizes he cannot transfer, nor retire anytime soon.... : )

[@BoomyNation]

Matt is a national treasure!

[@henryrichards1542]

AP Hill's presence, or lack thereof at Gettysburg has mystified me for years! SO glad to hear Matt's thoughts on it all - would love to have that pamphlet!

Park Ranger Matt, is the person I wish I was. We need more Matt's in our life.

How many soldiers died from heat stroke at Gettysburg?

[@haroldwright4100]

@flamlike217 I don’t think so, flam!!! Especially if the commanding general allows his brigade to continuously get outflanked & retreats in the face of the enemy!!!❤😮😊

21.43. Score one for Ol'Dan Sickles. Disrupted Longstreet from the start JUST by being on the road, and in The Devil's Den.

[@jamesstevens1995]

When Matt points out in the field can you show us. Please.

[@Worthrhetime]

So well done Thanks

[@simpilot8508]

Why is there so much bickering in the comments.....the whole comment section is a civil war.

[@edwinschneider1247]

cool guide😊

[@robmclaughlin4595]

I love these and its 100% my fault I only have a phone to watch on but really hard to hear at times.

[@raymondhummel5211]

A very informative video done with much detail and humor too!

[@Darkelfin1]

Is Ranger Matt a Waylon Jennings fan, he quoted "Good hearted woman" I think ? Just asking
