Action in The Wheatfield: 157th Anniversary of Gettysburg Live! (Day 2)

[@kalebjohnson6090]

Nice singing Mr. Ullman. Love the history you all keep alive. Thanks for keeping history true and accurate without prejudice.

[@tomr1630]

My great great grandfather, James VanOrden was in the 8th NJ at Gettysburg.

[@dAalborg]

What a terrific singing voice you have Mr Ullman! One of my favorite hymns! Great job to all of you - I so very much appreciate your sharing your knowledge and expertise!

[@issiahbernaiche6897]

Two of my Grandfathers fought there and served in the 2nd Corp, 1st Division. Captain Henry J Smith of Co. C, 53rd Pennsylvania, and Jacob Wolfgang, Pvt. Of Co. E, 81st Pennsylvania. Bless them. I hope to contribute a level and same work as you gentlemen do. I’d love to do this for a career and teach people what we all love.

[@ShutTheMuckUp]

Being mindful not to disrupt the tour group was very classy. I like that. This channel is great, and I appreciate the effort and passion y'all put into these videos.

[@timmrogers8363]

Thank Ya'll for delivering all this, I 've been to Gettysburg 6 times in life, but I've Learned so much more because of Ya'lls Dedicated Passion to bring the very spot of History, to my Living Room! Teach Kids History!

[@robertweber567]

As usual these programs are full of incredible history told by guys who can not be surpassed in knowledge crowned with boundless enthusiasm. Cheers!

[@PhantomDrums917]

Well done and very nice singing!!!!

[@rickster1957]

Way to go Doug Ullman! Great explanation and details and excellent singing. You’re going to Hollywood! 😁

[@jamesmascow3689]

Great singing of the hymn!

[@markzimmerman7279]

Sounds like an Irish tennor

[@aesoundforge]

Great singing voice!

[@mikehaye5527]

What an incredible surprise to hear Doug Ullman sing so beautifully! That added an inspirational moment to the interpretation of this incredibly important moment in our country’s history.

[@brucew.willett8196]

Doug's got some lungs. Nice job.

[@cashenjoe1]

Fantastic presentation! Thank you all for sharing your time and expert knowledge

[@logunas8204]

I love your passion in these videos! I have an ancestor that died in the Wheatfield with the 62nd PA under Sweitzer. Would have liked to hear how he blundered sending his troops into the middle of things but, understandably, there's only so much that can be covered. Thanks for creating and sharing these videos!

[@datru82]

I have an great-great-great-Grandfather that fought with the 62nd at Gettysburg, L. John Widmer, but fortunately for me he survived Gettysburg and the war. I'm sorry that your ancestor didn't survive.

[@christiangibbs1482]

I love your excitement and enthusiasm for history. It's contagious. I will never understand how you can keep all of these names and command chains clear in your mind. It is amazing. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and your energy.

[@MrHubbmuscle]

Love your excitement! TY yet again for a great video!

[@tomcaroscio]

Thanks for being so passionate in your story telling. Keep it up please!

[@margospringer2367]

Great job y’all. Very informative, well told, and loved the hymn sung by Doug. To quote from the movie “Men In Black” 1997. This is “The Best Of The Best, Of The Best”

[@michaelmcgranor1565]

All these men’s passion for the subject matter make these videos a joy to watch 👍

[@beanfrompa]

On all my visits I never noticed that triage spot before amazing. I learn something new with every video.

[@monicamillane3010]

De Troibriand is an interesting character post civil war. Awesome once again guys especially Doug U, what a voice

[@westyinzer4607]

I had no idea how to pronounce De Trobriand up until now. Props for wearing that forage cap at a tilt. Legit. Plus the hat that Gary is rocking is money. Indiana Jones? As usual this is full of enthusiasm and info as well as excellent views of the actual terrain. Superb. As usual. Thanks

[@frankj.artino2203]

Splendid presentations by all. Thank you.

[@celticnorthman3615]

Nice voice Doug!

[@kevindecoteau3186]

When I retire in a couple years I'm going to visit Gettysburg. Love your channel.

[@tomdynia9951]

I hope to live long enough to walk the Wheatfield enough to come close to understanding what happened there. It's taken me years and years but I finally have a feel for Antietam so maybe I'll someday achieve the knowledge here as well. Loving these videos, watching them several days late.

[@jeffreypadilla5582]

Another great video with plenty of information. Good job guys

[@celticnorthman3615]

Excellent guys!!

[@steeltown825]

That dude can sing. Great content guys.

[@andrewhoward9870]

So interesting. Thanks much!

[@janehoffman1874]

Love you Gary. I am joining up!

[@jct325]

Fascinating. I am a major Civil War buff. I have a family line that trace back to Marlboro County SC and my 2nd great grandfather and his 5 brothers all fought for the Confederacy. While none of them were at Gettysburg, there were kin with Company G, 8th Reg SC Inf that were killed there.

[@julianterhorst7965]

I'm a major civil war buff as well.

[@wandapease-gi8yo]

Fabulous singing to break the eager effort to describe in words the most confusing battle.

[@culmo80]

Great voice!

[@tkomalley6879]

Well done thank you

[@jerroldbates355]

I always learn something new.

[@kjsdahl]

wonderful stuff

[@andrewhoward9870]

Great battlefield hymn! Awesome!

[@larry648]

I also lost a family member of the 5th Michigan that day. He was wounded and had a leg amputated that night. After the battle he was in Camp Letterman and died in camp September 5th of infection. He too is in the National Cemetery.

[@stephenmenn]

The final segment at the aid station monument mentioned something about a surgeon named "Adams." A lawyer in Sugarland, Texas, told me of a Union surgeon who walked across the Gettysburg battlefield picking up Confederate wounded. The name of the surgeon and the name of one wounded Confederate was "Adams." The Confederate was his ancestor. When his ancestor recovered, he was told they needed the bed for somebody else. He asked what he was supposed to do. They told him to walk back to Texas, which he did.

[@joijaxx]

Came for the information but really enjoyed Doug's singing!

[@pennsyltuckyden9823]

These videos are amazing, thank you so much.

[@markcorbett3807]

This is why I donate. Thank You All!

[@JJDSports2012]

Beautiful singing by Ullman at 12:40

[@FEIHU69]

12:50 Great job Doug!

[@forrestwebb8590]

You are very knowledgeable about every Union unit at this battle, where they were located and their movements. You also said you where not sure whose Confederate unit's where at certain areas of the line and probably wouldn't ever know! Maybe you could do the same amount of research on those units and their prospective of the fight that day!

[@custerkiller7670]

Wow thanks a lot.

[@ws2228]

👍✌🍀❤🇺🇸 Good singing

[@wendeln92]

Dang it! I looked for the 32nd Mass aid station plaque several times and never found it. Now I know to look for the Irish Brig. and 5th Mich. monuments.

[@jumpmaster82nd.]

For a nice little micro study on the Wheat field read James M Smith II book, "Storming the Wheatfield". Its a very high quality little (169 pages) study on Caldwells Divisions role in the fight. Highly recommend it...

[@andrewdeehan6292]

As an Irish descendent and a practicing Catholic, I'm kind of bummed you guy's didn't mention the blessing by Fr. Corby before Hancock released the Brigade in the the fray.

[@mattofthenorth]

Not a single lad sought a deferment citing gluten intolerance. Lol...RIP Brave souls. Go Irish!

[@custerkiller7670]

The Wheatfield was probably my favorite fight at Gettysburg

[@michaelpatterson2955]

Very good info! You guys are enjoyable to listen to. My wife and I came to Gettysburg on our honeymoon in 1971 and have been back most of the years since then. I do wish you would give a more balanced approach to both sides for those of us who have Confederate sympathies. Excellent rendition of "Come, Come Ye Disconsolate" -- I appreciate that very much. But why would Hillyer's words be doubted and words of Federal reminiscences accepted at face value? Please don't start up with the "Lost Cause Myth." There is a lot more truth to that "myth" than most would admit. Nevertheless, I appreciate your zeal and detail. As a retired history college prof I appreciate the labor that goes into preparing these presentations. May we both honor the brave men of both sides and pray for our nation in these current trying hours.

[@tberkoff]

Philippe Regis Denis de Keredern de Trobriand. He served in the postwar army too, retiring in 1879.

[@pjny21]

Matrix reference. Yes!

[@Bowhead31]

Loving every video. Thank you. Haven’t been to Gettysburg and Antietam in years due to a disability. Please protect those monuments and statues from the leftists.

[@swirvinbirds1971]

Union Gettysburg Veterans were pissed they went up in the 1st place... It's always been a contentious issue.

[@mp2bill]

Stop it. Nobody’s suggesting removal of monuments from Gettysburg. Museums (which is what the battlefield are) are where they belong.

[@billms7448]

Good job but I wish you had mentioned by ancestor's regiment, the 61st NY...

[@themischeifguide]

I really think Caldwell's division stands out for having some real coordination in its attack.

[@charlesbenedict743]

How about the 4 CSA brigades in the Wheatfield, in order of attackas follows: G. Anderson (GA) J. Kershaw (SC) P. Semmes (GA) W. Wofford (GA) ? Anderson's Brigade in the battle here from start to finish, but no mention in this excellent video!

[@needmorecowbell6460]

I see a bunch of baby trees taking hold and growing if you don’t mulch and mow that wheat field

Putting a aid station behind a granite statue' Now that's smart. I'm sure the statue provided great cover for the wounded soldiers... Smart smart smart!!!

The statue was added after the war, the aid station was protected by the rocks in the area

Whoever dislikes the videos should be kicked in the shin

[@panzerlieb]

I personally think the hymn was sung. Maybe not quite as well as you did Mr Ullman. But it was sung all the same. And then the next day the killing continued. Kind of sobering isn’t it. They were completely conscious of the tragic consequences of their actions, and equally conscious of how much more was at stake to keep on soldiering in spite of it.

[@docclabo6350]

I love the passion, but you guys are so all over the place that it is hard to keep up.

[@manuelkong10]

Sickles didn't have enough troops to hold the line meade wanted him to hold either thank god he conducted a forward defence

[@kevindecoteau3186]

Surgeon is loosely defined.

[@cfox7811]

good on Doug for the mask.

I think without sickles advance, the confederates would’ve had a better chance to break the union lines
