Ask A Gettysburg Guide

[@bryanfields5563]

WELL PLAYED with the Grumble Jones sparring match (as well as for the whole show, which was outstanding infotainment).

[@addressinggettysburg]

It’s a fun game. We’ll play it often.

[@AmericanBattlefieldTrust]

Lee was a big move but from my understanding of the rules, Mike’s dropping Sedgwick’s nickname cancels out two of Matt’s turns! Nice. GA.

[@addressinggettysburg]

Exactly. But I whipped Grumble Jones out just in the nick of time, canceling out the cancel

[@Mikeb_1863]

It was one of the shortest games to date but I had zero mental preparation time as I wasn't ready for Matt to drop the challenge on me. Rookie move really to be flustered, so I'll be back with a vengeance next time.

When Garry talks about that 4th dimension from the “Then and Now” photos or “Step into History” videos, I feel it completely. I get chills up my spine. Can look at them for hours.

[@addressinggettysburg]

Yeah me too. They’re fascinating

[@davidspencer6384]

I always think that I'd enjoy hiking with Garry Adelman.

[@gilllawson2214]

Anytime Garry is on a show it’s worth watching

[@Michaelrowedtheboatashore]

I had an ancestor that was in the revolutionary war. I have a copy from the national archives of his testimony of details, including what he did during his time as a militia man. This was when he was an older man living in Jefferson county NY and applying for his pension. I thought of this when you were talking about photos of revolutionary war veterans. I’m also very interested in all things about the civil war. My dad and I went to Gettysburg in 1994 by the way.

Great show. Nice to see a couple guys obsessed with the same thing as me. Sometimes I have a hard time explaining why I keep going back to Gettysburg time after time, year after year. I am drawn there and I can’t logically explain it.

[@AmbientAirwaves]

Phenomenal show guys! V

[@addressinggettysburg]

Thank you!

[@richardmatthews7259]

Great show. You can't beat Gary as a guest. Just got around to watch his sacred trust from last summer. No one else can give you 2 hrs worth of information in a 1 hr talk .

[@SP-ky6lx]

Matt and Garry: Missed the live show, but watched later. ❤❤🤗🤗

[@mwdjr3158]

Fantastic content as always!

[@addressinggettysburg]

Thank you! It was a fun one.

[@davidspencer6384]

One more comment: Like Grant from Australia, ABT videos led me to AG, which led to my decision to visit (from Britain). Thanks, everyone.

[@addressinggettysburg]

Thank you for listening!

[@richardmatthews7259]

Tim and Gary musical performance would be a great fundraiser

[@BrianKoenig-v6q]

Great show! The sketch of Bayard Wilkinson on Barlow’s Knoll is an Alfred Waud sketch. It’s signed ARW in the lower left corner.

[@addressinggettysburg]

Is it? It’s all so confusing. Was Wilkeson also a painter? We found the painting of the sketch and it credits Wilkeson.

[@brettanymichellelawson-top5197]

Lol id like to learn more about the dead sharpshooter

[@CommandoP]

Love it!

[@addressinggettysburg]

Thanks!

[@richsnyder8015]

Great episode. I think Matt and Garry make a great point that confederate troops attacking the Houck’s Ridge/ Devils Den area did not know that the opposite side descended (Plum Run Valley) before ascending up LRT. I had an ancestor in the 99th PA. One of my favorite areas of the field.

[@aarongrabiak]

Looking forward to listening to this tomorrow when I’m childless and can pay attention…..

[@addressinggettysburg]

I hear you

[@matthewgillespie9405]

I see you’re sneaking up on 10,000 subscribers. Congratulations. 🙂👍🏻🙏🏻

[@addressinggettysburg]

Thank you. It was a fast rise that went to a slow crawl overnight last June. Very frustrating year lol

[@matthewgillespie9405]

I know you’ve come against several unforeseen obstacles & have suffered some tragic personal loss this past year; but don’t forget to step back & count your blessings from time-to-time. You’re providing a service many of us enjoy; your passion for the subject matter shines in your work. God bless & Merry Christmas. 👍🏻🙂🙏🏻🎄🎄🎄

[@adamcecil3630]

Does anybody else picture the little regimental game pieces from TSR’s “Terrible Swift Sword” when they talk about these brigades and divisions, etc?

[@addressinggettysburg]

I picture Sid Meier’s Gettysburg

[@lewistrott417]

Great episode and always fun to hear from top historians like Garry. With regard to there being other controversial issues from other wars, with WWII it’s the Holocaust deniers and whether or not ordinary German Soldiers committed war crimes along side the SS. David Irving was sentenced to prison for Holocaust denial, so WWII has its’ people who try and twist history to fit their narrative, they’re just not American-centric like the Lost Cause. And just to be clear I am in no way trying to equate the two issues, just trying to highlight an example from another conflict. Anyway, great episode as usual, carry on.

[@addressinggettysburg]

Ah yes. Holocaust deniers and Lost Causers are cut from the same cloth. Good point.

[@adamcecil3630]

that’s not totally fair. There was a lot of bad information taught in schools in the 70’s and 80’s and innocent kids interested in history bought into it because the point of view was so prevalent. And then changed their mind as they learned more.

[@gettysburgimages]

Garry needs clearance around him to tell a story. Good episode

[@addressinggettysburg]

🤣

[@brandonpliskin2310]

Red bank battlefield in jersey is very good

[@Mikeb_1863]

Right near where I grew up. Definitely a gem of a battlefield and a story

[@brettanymichellelawson-top5197]

Garry needs to behave himself hope hes doing well
