Historic Tour of Gettysburg and York Pennsylvania

[@FrenchieMom05]

Another great video! I had no idea York was as nice as it was. Gettysburg has so many stories to tell. I love how you integrate the “B” roll footage with your own. You could be a great documentary filmmaker 😊.

Well done Jose. My wife's family is from Hanover, Pa and we often visit Gettysburg. Great overview. Keep up the great work.

Thank you, it was more fun filming. I am planning on making a bloopers of this area as I had some of the worst weather to deal with. While in Gettysburg there was a huge rain storm that had just past by when I started filming.

Nice video! One correction if I may: The statue by the Gates House is Marquis de Lafayette. A group of senior Continental Army officers (called the Conway Cabal, check out the wikipedia page for more info) met at Gates home with the goal of replacing George Washington as commander-in-chief of the Revolutionary War effort. At a dinner party hosted by Gates at his home in York, Lafayette made a toast to Washington (this is why the statue is holding a glass) and intimated that he would not support Gates over Washington. The colonies relied on France's alliance to defeat the British and therefore left Washington in command to keep in the good graces of Lafayette and the French.

This was a great share thank you. I’ll add the edit to my summary.

Loved growing up here..there is so much history here. Could you come back and do a video on the burning of the columbia- wrightsville bridge in the civil war? That's an important story that probably changed the outcome of the civil war.

Thank you Jason. I would love to circle back to the area. I’m going to do a second tour of PA this year and put that on my list.

@@JoseOnTour sweet...there is plenty of history leading up to Gettysburg battle here in york county. The confederate army wanted to head north to harrisburg and we burnt the bridge.

[@jasonhaner2319]

@@JoseOnTour look it up..they couldn't get across the bridge..that's why they had to head back to Gettysburg..I live in Dover,pa and this is the way they hiked to Gettysburg since they couldn't go north. That was the only bridge across the river near here.

[@jasonhaner2319]

@@JoseOnTour just some interesting history that wasn't in the books..

Thank you Jose! Wonderful, incisive view of York. I grew up here in the 60s and 70s, and while York certainly has had its share of societal problems (I’m being somewhat euphemistic- race riots in the late 60s) it will always be home to me. My grandmother lived on E. Philadelphia St. and we would walk to market every Saturday. Oh and Jose- for the natives- it’s “LAN -kis-ter” NOT “LAN-KAS-ter” . Looks like you hit Samuel Lewis State Park for the views of the Susquehanna. Beautiful park. Thank you.
