Lee's Headquarters and Seminary Ridge: 157th Anniversary of Gettysburg Live! (Day 1)

[@brianstamm1314]

As a member of the Battlefield Trust I urge anyone who is interested in the preservation of our history to join and take advantage of these educational videos as well as their other programs. Even if you can only donate a few dollars, the cause is well worth it. Great job guys for all that you do!!!

[@bobmiller5409]

I grew up in PA and spent considerable time exploring the entire battlefield. I now live in N CA (Santa Rosa) and miss being able to relive the battle. These videos are bringing back many memories to this 70 year old. I was dating a girl from York College, and we often came to Gettysburg for picnics. THANK YOU for all you do. I have been a member for several years and I appreciate everything you do to preserve history and keep history alive.

Gettysburg has been in my blood. My uncle Kenny and Paul moved to Gettysburg and opened a grocery store in town. My cousin and I at the same age were close and I would spend several weeks in the summers to help in the store and spend time with my cousin. In the 60's we had more unrestricted access to the battlefield, and we could explore the battlefield grounds as free as any 12 year olds could want. Gettysburg had a strong impact on my intellectual development, becoming very interested with the whole era of the Civil War and American History.

Visited for the first time in 1969 as a teenager with Mom and Dad. The highlight was a helicopter tour. But wow, this area was really tacky back then. Go back these days every couple of years of so. Thank folks like the Trust for restoring this national treasure; gets better every year.

[@johnmccullough9932]

Excellent presentation...I can't understand how 14 people could be disappointed in the video! Well done.

20:01 Named after George Spangler my 2nd great grandmother's cousin also their cousin is Edmund Spangler who was employed at Ford's Theatre at the time of President Abraham Lincoln's murder on April 14, 1865. He and seven others were charged in conspiring to assassinate Lincoln and three other high level government officials. Edmund Spangler was the only one found not guilty of the conspiracy charge. Even so, he was found guilty of helping Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes Booth, escape and sentenced to six years of hard labor.

[@hooper4581]

Awesome stuff ! This is perfect during covid. Thanks to all for doing this. Much appreciated! Can anyone recommend any reading materials on topics of what is going on during the nights of the battle ?

[@stflaw]

They purchased and razed all the ugly commercial development around Lee's headquarters? Well done, gentlemen!

[@altonbunnjr]

stflaw They also restored the house.

[@jonaustin5943]

Wasn’t the house now restored once surrounded by a motel with perhaps a pool next to it? My recollection dates from 1972.

[@ltrain4479]

Yeah, it was done about 4 years ago. It looks awesome now.

[@ltrain4479]

@@jonaustin5943 Yep, it was surrounded by a motel and a restaurant I think.

[@bwhip]

My family and I stayed at that Quality Inn during our visit in 2010. We also ate at the Appalachian Brewing Company, that was on the same property. I understand why they removed them, but we made some good memories there. The museum in the old house was amazing.

[@alexdejesus62]

Love the doghouse!

[@johnnyfarout]

why does the dog house have to be kicked and mistreated? he's a jitterbug whacko thinking it had to be the worst doghouse ever... surely the dog was loved and a victim of war, not of an olde witchycraft lady that betwixed the generals of the confederacy right there in her hearth&home-right?ehah plus, wasn't it researched to the max by these enthusiasts?

[@MrHubbmuscle]

He’s so verbally animated. I love it! TY!

[@jamesmascow3689]

Three cheers for the Michigan 16th. Go Blue!

[@jmupp2876]

What book(s), resources would you suggest for someone looking to build a comprehensive understanding of the Civil War? Specifically comprehension of battles, timelines, etc.

[@katierichsukley796]

Just wondering why the Riggs house wasn't preserved somehow after it was located and dug up? It would have been neat to seal it somehow or put a structure over it.

[@needmorecowbell6460]

62,000 emails but you cant answer one question I’ve asked a while back so ill ask again… were on the battlefield did the 53rd Penn Vol. Co.I take part in fighting at Gettysburg and who’s division or bergade were they apart of?

[@raygeary1698]

[@DonPerrin]

While I’m a staunch Northern supporter, who doesn’t love Abner Perrin and the South Carolinians of his Brigade. I might be a touch biased!

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

Seems like when I was at Gettysburg in 2008, the Thompson house was being used to sell souvenirs.

[@bobmiller5409]

PS: It's time to watch Day One of the movie...

Awwwww. Don't kick the dog house 😆😆😆

[@crippledcrow2384]

The energy that Garry puts into the video is overwhelming. He talks like he is in a race to get his part in. He needs to chill out a little.

[@vivians9392]

Yes, mostly for his health and well-being. His presentations are spot on!

So when will the authorities allow the Confederate monuments to be removed from the Gettysburg battlefield? Very very sad.

[@ethank8152]

Oh.......about the same time when they remove all the brave men and women buried in Robert E Lee's front yard also known as the Arlington National Cemetary.....the nonsense needs to stop. Erased history is not learned history.

[@vivians9392]

Never, hopefully. History includes all Americans who fought in this civil war...
