Many thanks for this well presented visual of those final days. Much appreciated and so worthy of never forgetting.

My wife and I have stopped by that little cemetery several times over the years. There is, or at least was a picnic area near there. I too have noticed that one man's grave and remember commenting on him having fought through the entire war, only to die in the final charge. Thanks for the video. Very well done. I'll have to tell you about my wife's "ghost experience" at Sayler's Creek sometime.

I appreciate you watching. That story was gut wrenching. War is a terrible thing.

Please allow a correction. You kept saying "Calvary" which is where Christ was crucified. It's "Cavalry" the placement of the L is different. I realized that I once did the same thing!

Thanks for the input. That’s a habit I got to change. Thanks for watching!

I didn't want to be the one to say it but +1, it was driving me crazy the whole way through.

Narrator also says Custard instead of Custer quite a few times.

If you’re not making mistakes you’re not learning 🤷‍♂️ Thanks for watching!

[@StevenSmith-dc1fq]

Very good, with great visuals as well as context about the final day,

[@ProjectPast1565]

I appreciate that. Thanks for watching. I personally felt that this was one of my rougher videos editing wise. I’d like to think I’ve improved since this.

New to your channel and going through and watching all the great content. What I liked and found really interesting is the story of the Alabamian soldier who fought the entire war only to die hours before it ended and just a few yards from where it ended. These individual stories really help bring home the personal aspect and impacts of the war. Keep up the good work!!!

[@ProjectPast1565]

I’m glad to hear you found my channel and you’re enjoying it. Thanks for taking the time to comment. That story was heartbreaking to learn about and shows the sad reality of war. Appreciate the kind words 🤙

[@kennethswain6313]

That was very informative. We hear about the surrender but not much on the last gasps of resistance

[@ProjectPast1565]

Appreciate you watching!

Gen Custer was mentioned leading a cavalry charge over the fields. The guide mentioned the trees. But were those trees there during this time frame? Civil War cannons were "line of sight," meaning in practically all cases, the target could be observed. If the Confederate cannon are now placed where they were during the battle, they would not have had much of a field of fire because of the trees. So....I wonder if those trees were even there during the battle.
