150th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. The Blue Gray Alliance Event 2013

[@LesFarrington]

it was incredible. i was shocked at how much artillery and infantry there was. and right after the union soldiers fired their last shots, IT RAINED. i cried. it was exactly how it happened when LEE retreated. i doubt in my lifetime that there will be another event like this anywhere. I will cherish this forever. the folks who wore those hot uniforms and honored the men who fought 150 years ago are to be congratulated. it was as moving an event as i have ever witnessed.

i was with the 143rd New York Volunteer Infatry there....i had an awesome time.....best reenactment i have ever been to!

Hello, The aged look at the end is perminate, It can't be removed,since it was edited that way and finalized in post production.

[@heldanedevin3450]

Love these re-enactments, Joining a English ACW group just this year. Going to be allot of fun :)

[@CWcaptain]

You are correct, but did you know that at that time, we did not have that protocol that we have today for our flag. There is an original photo of Lincoln and McCellan in a meeting in a tent and they are using it as a table cloth. We in the Civil War community highly respect that flag, but we portray the accuracies of the 1860s as authentically as we can.

Hold the line, hold the friends, keep the bond. Discard the bile spat out by hollow souls, but remeber their names. Thank you for your time and dedication to bring history to so many new friends.

The little fawn was adorable poor thing

[@scamp50]

Our unit the 12th US Infantry Co A can be seen in this at the 2:57 mark. From the soldier holding the flag the first person to the right (really tall) is Grant Dennis, the 5th one down is my wife (aka Marty) with me right behind her (cant be seen) and the 8th down is our 1st Sgt. Neil. The fawn that was running around was spooked out of the high grass by us. We felt so bad for the poor thing.

[@mushanee]

Do you have any copies of this video without the coloring halfway through? My husband is right in where this is being filmed and I would love a copy of it!!!!

[@theartisanrogue]

Very nice work on this. I too had done a small short film on my own channel about my time there at the 150th of Gettysburg.

[@johncashrocks221]

I'm so sad I live in Colorado, we have none of this out here, I had quite a few relatives fight and one even died at Gettysburg

[@misteslaus]

Would love to know if you got more of the mass and any of Fr. Corby's General Absolution (I portrayed Fr. Corby) Fr. Stephen

[@CWcaptain]

Sir, I must confess that I do not know if African Americans participated in that battle. I'm not sure if any African American regiments were present at that specific battle. Perhaps you can find out and post your finding here.

[@MichaelJCaboose98]

Ha ha the charge at 6:55 was the best part of the event for me! I really enjoyed that weekend, great event!

[@CWcaptain]

Copies can be purchased through my Ebay Store. Just search for civilwarmusician and it will be there in DVD and Blu-Ray

[@kyleschafer6275]

The BGA event was the first Gettysburg I was at. I had a blast at the event, was so much better then the GAC

[@bjjbkb403]

very well done and put together.

[@CWcaptain]

There are different ways to determine that. if you are hot and tired, do it. If you are creating a certain scenario where you know what originally happened to the regiment, re-create that. if you are playing war games or an open tactical, it the other guy gets the drop on you, act accordingly. Have fun and educate!

[@Paladin1441]

I WISH I WAS THERE!! DAMN!!!

[@TheHIV123]

I was at this event, and my only complaint was that in the main Union camp there was way to much canvas as well as other conveniences. The army would have had to lug all that stuff around with it if they had brought it on campaign and no one wanted to do that. The same goes for the CS camp, to much canvas.

[@jedmarum]

Superb Video!! Thanks for posting.

[@CWcaptain]

What are you talking about not realistic at 6:28? People didn't walk in 1863? That is what is there.

[@ScarecrowWizardofOzFan]

Awww That Cute Little Baby Deer 05:44

[@CWcaptain]

yes, some are, but we are cautious about some of the things we do. Somebody has to keep history alive so overweight or not, that is our goal.

[@CWcaptain]

No, I didn't I felt the mass was a private thing and I didn't want to overstep my bounds.

[@WalkerKinsler]

Best Video EVER!!!

[@MrMalpaso]

Thats looked really good, I was at the second event and was disappointing in many ways, so keep it up.

[@jamiedouglas100]

Murray's Brigade camps (Iron Brigade / 1st Maryland / 150th NY) were rock soiid. Minimal canvas. Many shebangs and a lot of guys just sleeping on the ground with no cover but the canvass of the leaves.

[@CWcaptain]

Join the Mifflin Guard and for $5.00, one of those can be yours too!

[@willjarman5670]

16:02 Flag is on the ground, sir.

[@CWcaptain]

It was just a fawn and scared to death, poor little thing.

[@GungHo1032]

Awesome!

[@Sadie3875]

PUT YOUR DAMNED COAT ON!

[@CWcaptain]

Jerk Huh! You have no idea who I am and you better watch yourself! Slavery was a sad time in our history, but every man woman and child that lived in that era is dead and gone, so don't dump this on me because you have no idea about my past and I don't dump on you. Talk about the problem, look in the mirror as you say Fool

[@patton9]

i would do anything for a breakfast like that

[@CWcaptain]

Keep up the Anti-American comments pal, I'm forwarding them to Homeland Security!

[@CWcaptain]

it's because of jerks like you that don't learn by discovering history that make the same mistakes in today's society. I'll bet you are part of the problem!

[@texastwostep]

a lot of older and overweight reenactors. candidates for a heatstroke or heart attack. Great job of reenacting.

[@shhhhane]

Did not see any African Americans in it.

[@PrinceChaloner]

6:28 not realistic, totally politically correct.
