Fredericksburg Hospital | Civil War Then & Now

[@andreaquinn5997]

The nurse that you've highlighted is Abby Hopper Gibbons. Two of the other photos of nurses includes Arabella Griffith Barlow, wife of General Francis Barlow, along with Abby Hopper Gibbons and Sarah Gibbons Emerson. The woman standing is what is regarded to be of Arabella Barlow. These women worked tirelessly with the Sanitary Commission sometimes dangerously close to the front.

Keep incorporating this tech in your pieces. This overlaying of current and historic images absolutely brings the story to life

[@RobinBurke-tb9pd]

That was fantastic!!!!! What a brilliant way to immerse oneself into the battle.

[@bigsarge2085]

Awesome! I really appreciate these photo associations.

[@jankovarik9714]

A dynamic representation of "Then and Now"...an appreciation of history is incomplete without the sense of "place and time."

[@AmericanBattlefieldTrust]

Thank you so much.

[@cathleen6104]

So good!! Thanks guys. I love these photography then and now videos. Nothing like standing in the very spot where an historic photograph was taken. I was standing in the midst of a "Council of War" at Massaponax Church last summer (thanks to Garry's video about that site). My husband's 22 year old Union ancestor from the First Division was evacuated from his regiment at Remington, VA to the Army hospital at Alexandria (Fairfax Seminary Hospital). Those places were huge...he was recorded in "Bed No. 800".

[@nathanapodaca3456]

One of your best ones yet! It's the "Thousand Yard Stare" of the men in the photo that gets me. Planned or not, it really makes me wonder what they were thinking about. Maybe processing the horrors they had witnessed on the battlefields, and wondering if it was all worth it

Verdade,os velhos inventam as guerras e os jovens é que morrem .ainda hoje é assim. Abraços do rio de janeiro. Brazil

[@ronnaannelong999]

The overlay of new and old is great! Please keep doing this in your videos.

[@AmericanBattlefieldTrust]

We're glad you're enjoying the new format.

[@kennethskolka7072]

Wow!! Incredible analysis of that iconic photograph. Thank you, Garry and Kris, for your wealth of information bringing life to this photograph.

[@susantumblety6003]

Sooo good. Love all the details and info that you show. ! Omg. I would be back there looking at the original photo, doing the same thing, looking for thousands of details

[@Idol76]

This is such a great channel.

[@ReadyForSummerNow]

Grew up in the Fredericksburg area (between Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville). Was always fascinated by this photo! Thanks for the video! Could you do one on the Harris Farm dead photos?

[@annmcgehee1728]

Excellent, excellent as always, thank you for this with us!

[@unbreakable7633]

I once saw a CIA photo analyst talk about how to look at photos. He said that a magnifying glass is the best and simplest tool because a camera picks up everything it sees and using a magnifier will reveal details the human eye will miss so easily.

[@ProjectPast1565]

Gosh! These are incredible. keep up the fantastic work!

[@6omega2]

[@2DSTORMS]

So cool you guys! Thanks

[@AllWeatherFirestarters]

Can you show us what it looks like inside that building...that would be super cool.

[@charlierichardson613]

That was cool!

[@TacoTot]

I always like looking for soldier's names, initials, and dates carved into the bricks of buildings that were used in the Civil War. I started looking for them after an employee working at George Washington's tomb at Mount Vernon pointed out Civil War graffiti etched into the bricks above the entrance to Washington's tomb.

[@Tomatohater64]

Incredibly interesting, gentlemen. Great job.

[@genesmolko8113]

This vid really brought into reality. To be standing right where those men and woman were, moving

[@gclauter]

Mexicana na o.Muito bm.,sou do Rio de janeiro BRAZIL.,Mas sou apaixonado pela história da guerra civil mexicana.no meu pais tem 2 cidades que muitos confederados vieram para aqui .ainda tem muitos descendentes.as cidades chamam americana e Santa Bárbara do Oeste. Belo trabalho.abraços

[@gclauter]

Mexicana não, AMERICANA.

[@Cameron-o2w]

The confederate army had a great victory at the battle of Fredericksburg which also led to another great victory for the Southern Boys, the battle of Chancellorsville.

[@L_Train]

Is there a good place to find colorized civil war photographs?

[@Mis-AdventureCH]

That the back of the Star building on Lafayette?

[@goatcheeta]

WIthout revealing too many secrets, I would like to see a "how to" video on how you do these videos

[@ExpertSelections]

peak history telling

[@jimjones9740]

Can't believe that building is still There

[@carywest9256]

You timestamp it?

[@WheelchairGuyHobbyChannel]

Garry, you’re right…that one guy does look like Jeremy Renner!

[@ocrow8079]

Very interesting....the soldier at the far end looks Hispanic or Native American.

[@KurtG-nn2cz]

Could be a member of Co. K , !st Michigan Sharpshooters. They were primarily Ojibwe and are said to be in the image at 5:52 under the tree.

[@ocrow8079]

@@KurtG-nn2cz Excellent...thanks

[@carywest9256]

There were Hispanics in Texas units, and people from Louisiana units from ltaly, Cajuns, Spanish extraction, French Creole and people with Native American blood. Unless you can figure out if they are prisoners or not, it's anyone's guess!

[@SMElder-iy6fl]

I wish you wouldn't be so flip about the work of the Sanitary Commission. You have to remember that so much of the medical treatment was improvised.

[@andrejveho]

[@wallacebell4311]

While you’re putting yourself in the history picture how about pulling those weeds in front of the door. You can thank me later.
