Outstanding kickoff for Antietam 160. 👍🏻

[@johnresto1603]

On my way there. Maybe will see you guys tomorrow.

[@cyndiebill6631]

I can not wait until you hook up with JD and Chris. Their channels along with ABT are my favorites. This going to be a fun series with all of you. Gary, JD, Chris ♥️👍😊I love this battlefields. This and Gettysburg are my 2 favorites. They are both #1 on my list.

[@MStafford-lr9le]

Antietam and Gettysburg are two totally different experiences. Gettysburg feels like a Civil War theme park. Whereas Antietam's town, Sharpsburg, is so little changed from the 19th century it's incredible.

[@Gocats1970]

160 years ago today the 27th Indiana was waiting. To the Giants of the cornfield! You are not forgotten.

[@brocksargeant1134]

Thanks so much for all of these videos. I toured Antietam for the first time about 20 years ago...I lived in Frederick MD at the time, so I followed the course of both armies, driving along South Mountain and viewing the three main passes that saw action on Sept 14. Then toured Antietam as it was fought, starting on the northwest end and working my way south. It's alot to see in one day, but I'll never forget it. I hope to go back someday soon and take a few days this time.

[@edwardaustin740]

I'm really enjoying these videos. Being from Florida, me and a friend did our take of some of the battlefields in our big loop. It took us 2 weeks. We visited Atlanta, Chattanooga, Gettysburg (150 th ), Antietam, Harper's Ferry, DC, , Baltimore, Charleston,, and Savannah. What a great 2 weeks it was. I enjoy learning about the Civil War. It wasn't the best time in American history, but it is history.

[@Deathtroopers09]

@AmericanBattlefieldTrust I’ll be out there in person and I hope to meet you guys tomorrow

[@michaeldouglas1243]

Thank goodness you guys are doing this. I only live 45 min from there and planned on coming down tomorrow the 17th for the 160th and found out my better half had us tickets to a bluegrass festival. So at least I can watch on here.

[@dj-flights7376]

Thank you for showing the map at 13:30 minutes in. My 2nd Great Grandfather fought at Antietam in the 64th NY. Now I know what his company specifically did there - attacked Sunken Road with other NY Regiments. Thank you!

[@nathanv2882]

Antietam is one of my favorite places to visit. I look forward to yall's anniversary series every year and I am very much looking forward to this year's videos. Thank you!

[@Roller_Ghoster]

I got my way through Gettysburg a few months ago so super excited for some more American Civil War content on KZbin

[@e-4airman124]

thank you so much love Antietam well run and well kept😀

[@jeanhutchinson6198]

Thank you for providing content for those of us who can't be there in person!

[@PONGERR]

What a great group of guys, yall are awesome!

[@lizlittle1641]

Antietam is a very nice battlefield. I enjoyed walking and driving through this battlefield 4 years ago.

[@denniscascio6834]

Love the energy and enthusiasm in these presentations.

[@terryeustice5399]

Thank you for sharing the battle of Antietam and the great narration.

[@westcliff148]

hi from the UK

[@steveb287]

I’ll be on my way down shortly !

[@streamweaver7530]

Thank you thank you for bringing these battlefield tours to us !

[@jphil-mk8bw]

I finally got around to visiting this past summer. I was so surprised by how small and accessible the battlefield was.

[@frankmousser8691]

What a time in history, lets hope we never forget, thanks for bringing it to life i enjoy your videos very much.

[@wendykenney8145]

Thank you - I really don't know much about Antietam.

[@JohnReedy07163]

I'm sorry I couldn't watch this sooner! I'm too busy being here for it. I went to the 6:00pm opening program tonight. Learned so much I Never knew from it. Thank you to the Battlefield Trust and Garry for putting out these videos! You all inspired me to spend my last week in Harper's Ferry, Gettysburg and now Antietam. It's been so great and this channel and it's enthusiasm are why I am here now!!!

[@scottmoon50]

I want to give you a public thank you to you and American Battlefield Trust for you response to my e-mail and the link to the Antietam maps so that I could retrace my Great-Great-Grandfather's path with the 7th Georgia Inf. Even though I don't know where he was killed the fact that you sent me the info and link to the maps made the battlefield come alive for me. I hope to walk in his steps next year and marvel at the cost on both sides and the distance he had to travel from Cobb County Ga. Thank you and God bless you To anyone reading this please contribute, if you can, to the American Battlefield Trust. They are doing great work for all battlefields, Civil War and Revolutionary. Plus their online resources are top notch.

[@michaelmorgan9824]

Sad about the Battle but so Happy that ABT is there! Looking forward to seeing your videos!

[@danielvanmol5655]

Would love to see the team next year in Gettysburg during their filming at location.

[@robertweber567]

Love this!!!!!!!!!

[@frankofva8803]

[@jeremysears9964]

Looking forward to this series! Great work, thank you!

[@SpartansAndHeroes]

Looking forward to all the videos from Antetiem

[@markhayden3462]

Love this stuff.

[@danielvanmol5655]

I'm coming over from Belgium to visit Gettysburg during it 160e anniversary in 2023. Will visit antietam at the same time.

[@danielvanmol5655]

@Ha Ha I'm no battlefield guide but would even help you out during a visit :-). I know the battlefield really well. Is the only well preserved battlefield (protected) in Belgium and around. There are masses battlefields in Belgium, but hardly anybody knows about them, and they are not protected. But i know to find original fighting positions from the battle of the Bulge, since al lot of them are in undeveloped area's.

[@danielvanmol5655]

@Ha Ha i’m comming alone. That’s the only way i can visit the sites. Next to antietam planning to visit harpers ferry also.

[@chadhill8628]

Awesome

[@ephraim2793]

Thanks guys! Love what you do and stand for.

[@craiggleason8386]

[@blukeblue1235]

[@shiningstaer]

Been waiting all month for this! On my way this morning!

[@derekrupert2013]

If you haven’t been to Cedar Mountain…go! It is beautiful there!

[@wesaynottoday7629]

Fabulous content...Respect

[@josephdriesenga2730]

Heartland Offensive: William Starke Rosecrans was NOT the Union commander, that was still Don Carlos Buell until after Perryville

[@AmericanBattlefieldTrust]

Oops. 😀

[@winstondietz]

Great video, thanks

[@JamesBray-qm8gr-q3w]

Amazing that the place they are talking, you would NOT want to be standing there in the morning 160 years ago !

[@Gitarzan66]

Those of us in Colorado, New Mexico know where the REAL western theater is ( ha ha)

[@mwdjr3158]

Fantastic people and content. Thanks for sharing.

[@tumbleweedweed3691]

On my way

[@johnwayneeverett6263]

Well Done 👍

[@kaycox5555]

[@Ivan-ge7xb]

Thanks!

[@w.charlesyoung2653]

I thought Bragg was taking on Don Carlos Buell and he Army of the Ohio. Rosecrans was taking on Earl Van Dorn and Sterling Price.

[@AmericanBattlefieldTrust]

Oops!

[@ronaldmercer9616]

I wonder if Lincoln and all the northern soldiers entered all the major cities today if they'd still be proud of their sacrifices

[@philvermeulen4576]

Hey Gary Phil from the nssa

[@daviddifonzo7938]

Are you guys going to be at the battlefield all weekend?

[@AmericanBattlefieldTrust]

On and off…

[@garypoe4411]

Time to throw that hat in the fire my dude. Get a Clint Eastwood hat. Pale rider hat maybe.

[@leronictronic3435]

Will the re enactments be free too watch? I wanNa go tomorrow with my dad

[@AmericanBattlefieldTrust]

If you can find them they are free as far as we know.

[@bluveiner43]

Like these videos but PLEASE tie his hands!

[@larry1824]

Not to take away from 9 11 but this was as bad as it can be on our own soil with no foreign govt involved. That bridge is chilling now in it's all quiet

[@michaelmento1939]

Is the visitor center done yet?

[@zephyr1983]

No. I was just at Antietam on Tuesday and they are still working on the visitor center.

[@JohnReedy07163]

They are looking at Mid November per the Rangers at the 6:00pm program last night

[@JFreeze714]

A little far a Primanti afterward.

[@gregwitt2796]

Guess you’re done with the Little Bighorn battlefield, huh? God forbid you spend more then 30 seconds on any battlefield that isn’t civil war or revolutionary war related.

[@curdykelp]

cry about it

[@gregwitt2796]

@@curdykelp aww.. that’s cute lol

[@citizenbobx]

These things tend to be seasonal, and tend to get hit more than once, so I wouldn't be surprised if there was another trip at some point. I remember reading about the whole Chief Joseph thing as a kid, and that would certainly be interesting to do a footsteps trip about that, maybe start a new angle for preserving those spots as well.

[@gale212]

I'd like to see them do other stuff too but September 17 is a big deal.

[@MorgansRaiders23]

Maybe I'm missing something in the comments, but the American Revolution and Civil War are the two wars with the majority of battlefields. There are a couple war of 1812 engagements and the fighting with the American Indians was seldom a battlefield as much as guerilla-type attacks. So I think the ABT does a great job in doing videos of the most important battles in American history.
