Battle of Fairfield During the Third Day of Gettysburg: Gettysburg 158 Live!

[@wayfaerer320]

Dr. Reardon was my American Military History course professor at Penn State. She also took us on a Battlefield walk at Gettysburg - will never forget it!

[@Butterbean00]

Thanks Dr. Reardon and to all of you for that excellent description and the visual you provided. Grumbles would have appoved. Thanks.

[@GhostofSicklesleg]

She is a national treasure

[@carolcraig2580]

Love Dr. Reardon. Her book on Picketts Charge in memory is one of my favorite books...

[@Hambone61]

Can you tell me what the highest level of education Chaffee obtained?

[@michaellaverty1844]

Dr. Reardon, you are a National Treasure. God Bless🇺🇸

[@indycoman1852]

Love to think of someone watching this during ‘Gettysburg 258’ because you have all made a terrific permanent record of the battle’s nuances this year. Something that will always remain invaluable. The three of you fit so well together, each bringing a great change of pace when following each other. Besides, you two get to work alongside a national treasure in Dr. Reardon! Great job.

Dr. Reardon gave a remarkable presentation about this lesser known battle that deserves to be remembered.

[@joshuaglaude1549]

I have become a fan of Dr. Reardon because of these videos. I had no idea who she was before. Very knowledgeable, well spoken. But I guess that's why she has the credentials she does.

[@bobdoyle4077]

I have watched all the videos. I especially like seeing Carol.

[@aaroncumberland7625]

Why is it that no one ever talks about the lesser known battle that took place nearby in the predominantly Italian village of Spaghettysburg?

[@edwardstoner9967]

Excellent presentations. Thank you all.

[@JamesBray-qm8gr-q3w]

Very OUTSTANDING presentation by this fine Lady !!! Love these little battles and events not very well known! Never knew any of this, so wonderful to learn this history !!

[@BemusedHumanist]

Great video! Thanks, Dr. Carol!

[@heynowls3058]

Keeping it coming folks. Grateful. Love Dr Carol.

[@platform15gym]

Carol is amazing! I could listen to her talk all day! Thanks for having her on as a guest on your tours!

[@dr.oscarboomsaad3905]

Brilliant and thoughtful presentations. Thank you for your sensitivity and warmth.

[@edmerkle5688]

My great-great uncle, Frederick Merkle, served with the US 6th from the beginning and survived the war. His brother, Lewis (Suel) Merkle US 6th, was KIA at Yorktown, Penninsula Campaign.

[@chancewebster7953]

Great 158 series. Thank you

[@matthewmiller9526]

Great story, thanks for telling it, I had never heard it before.

[@gmatt200]

This all happened BEFORE Starr resigned in 1857?? Something doesn't add up there...

[@beerye9331]

LOL...Curmudgeons...I am familiar with the lot, being an Amateur Radio Operator, they are commonplace. I could listen to Carol Reardon for hours.

[@evanmyers100]

Planting soybeans thought you might like know.

[@buck1978]

This video was awesome My h-g-grandfather fought with the 6th us cav and it’s great seeing and hearing about where he was Thank you

[@Gravelgratious]

My 5th great grandfather was a Alabaman private in g troop of the 6th cav . It is amazing to see these places our ancestors saw.

[@evanmyers100]

Never been out there either. Great work. Next year go to Vickburg.

[@eoyguy]

First, the traffic on that country road is crazy. Second, the M24 Chaffee tank was named for Adna Chaffee Jr.

[@GhostofSicklesleg]

The ABT has hit a home run as always!

[@Wilett614]

EXCELLENT Narration and Presentation ! Very well Done THANK YOU and FYI the M 24 "Chaffee " Tank was also named after Chaffee !!

[@michaelpatterson2955]

Very interesting video! Please, move the camera around more. It's not necessary to keep it so focused on the speaker. I've noticed this on different videos. So many people want to see the terrain and to know points of reference without staring at the speaker. Just a friendly suggestion, but thanks for your intense study and good work.

[@markzimmerman7279]

Not a retreat a tactical withdrawal.

[@markzimmerman7279]

General John b Gordon in his memoir said they waited the whole day of July 4 for the Yankees to attack but they didn't come.

[@waso122463]

Lucky they weren't pursue that's all.

[@bryanfields5563]

Stopped by this site a few years ago when we stumbled upon it - interesting to hear more detail about this action.

[@MarkFlashman]

Road is busy. Thank you for this.

[@timm1894]

Professor Reardon is the best. Drop the mike here.

[@Bricameron]

Fascinating and tragic at the same time.

[@garypoe4411]

Thank all of you, I always look forward to this, I hope next year we can do this again.

[@Notoproject2025]

You should do a video on all the German men who came over here to fight on both sides.

[@citizenbobx]

There was a Chaffee tank, right?

[@bcask61]

Great presentation as always, thank you ABT and Dr. Reardon.

[@melvingaul6637]

After the first day why General Roads didn't help General heath in attack union forces

[@WendyDaCanuck]

Guidon not colours.

[@jeffreywhite7899]

Wow, my great, great grandfather was a trooper in the 6th U.S. Cav. Fortunately for me his company and one other were picked to be the escort guard for Maj.General Pleasonton . So he was not present at the Fairfield engagement although his company had a ringside seat for Pickett's Charge.

[@Gravelgratious]

Which troop was he in? My 5xgreat grandfather was in troop G. Do you know a good source of unit information?

[@troychrisman2035]

@@Gravelgratious my GGG was in the 6th U.S Cav. William Sherrow - he was captured at First Funkstown on July 7. 1863.

[@V1Speed360]

She’s awesome

[@4bulldurham]

put a muff on the mic

[@jamessinclair4212]

She is really cool

[@bill4572]

Interesting

[@dukeman7595]

Carol was a treat, she was an excellent speaker with great knowledge and told it so well. I was intrigued listening to her, hope to hear who speak again.

[@anthonybendl8125]

Fantastic content! Thanks

[@matthewmcswegan7403]

I could lister to her breakdown of events all day

[@harlandpope1198]

You are an excellent orator carol! Thanks for the info. Will be in Gettysburg for a few days at the end of the month, and your info has been interestingly informative.

[@dadsongs]

Thank you, Carol. Never heard this story. It was riveting!

[@waso122463]

I think God saw to it the righteous took the day.

[@WendyDaCanuck]

I think George Meade saw to it the righteous took the day. If god exists than all he did was watch.
