Once again thank you for the stories! You guys are amazing! I'm really glad Sarah is part of the team. I enjoy listening to the stories she shares!

[@cyndiebill6631]

Been following you all day. Thank you for doing this. It’s been amazing all day!!

[@missmissy2490]

Absolutely amazing! Thank you so very much.

[@neighbortim]

I was doing a lot of driving this week, and I’ve been listening to the audiobook of “Killer Angels”… which has somehow nicely synched up with reality 159 years later. So this is all perfect timing! I just finished the part of the book covering July 2, and now I have you fine folks walking me through the battlefield. Thanks so much for all your fine work.

[@rdm925]

Thanks so for the videos and coverage of this day and the overall battle! 👍

[@rakovegas9901]

No matter how many times I watch this stuff I always learn something interesting and new. Thanks!

[@bowhuntr81]

The Colonel is absolutely one of my favorite presenters.

[@Glove513]

“We will accept suboptimal operational and tactical means that get us to our strategic ends over optimal ones that do not.” (…or words to that effect) Some things are so important that they are worth doing even if poorly.

[@jasonedgell2352]

The stories of the civilians that were impacted is very interesting and some of my favorite things to study.

[@danielvanmol5655]

Love this each year. Great work.

[@danielvanmol5655]

Greatest trip in my life would be a week at Gettysburg.

[@davidboddington4908]

one of the very best talks ever...

[@normamassey1000]

Doug is a fantastic story teller! He gets so into the fantastical elements of the fight that he pulls a person right on into it with him. Love the passion for the story!

[@2DSTORMS]

Doug Douds and Gary Adelman.....does not get any better than this!!

[@artrogue4150]

Keep up the great work ! day two !

[@zakhassen8120]

This is the next best thing to actually being there.

[@steveclifton278]

[@duckbizniz663]

Great program Gary, Doug, Kris, and Sarah.

[@bowhuntr81]

SMOOTH tech guy move, Garry!

[@raymondrooks45]

Gary and Doug what a great presentation!

[@cherylmandrackie5884]

Love these new stories and sites for your videos. This is the best kind of history education.

[@andrewzy]

I look forward to all these videos every year til I eventually make the trip down . You guys help put everything in perspective over the 3 days.. incredible.

[@buckwaddell301]

Love how Doug brought John Boyd into the battle talk !!!! Awesome....

[@Goodfelladh]

This is an incredible video. Really appreciate all your videos but this one in particular was spectacular!

[@Tomatohater64]

Love it, love it, love it. Feel like I'm there in 1863.

[@gouravmisra2317]

Stay blessed and happy

[@jamesgiliberto9329]

Well done, yet again...thank you all

[@danielvanmol5655]

Looking at this at 22h58 in Belgium

[@Uncle_Remus420]

This was one of the best videos I've seen. Thank you so much!

[@Dive-Bar-Casanova]

Garry is one of the most entertaining and interesting historians on KZbin - if not THE most.

[@lorenschmidt937]

Excellent. Where might the 7th Michigan have been located along the line on Cemetary Hill? Major Curtis, in charge after the death of Lt. Colonel Steele, reports being ~150 yards from the top of the hill. The reason I ask in my 2nd cousin 5 times removed, 2nd. Lt. Albert Slafter was killed there on this day 159 years ago.

[@JoseMartinez-hm7hi]

Great video. You all do a great job presenting this interesting historical information .

[@hatuletoh]

If you have to drive alone through TX, OK, and KS, it sure is nice to have something interesting to listen to.

[@carlalorch8650]

I am enjoying these videos so much; keep up the great work. 👍

[@delnunley7026]

Love this stuff! You all do such a phenomenal job at this!

[@Dive-Bar-Casanova]

Amazes me how the Union commanders analyzed the situations and reacted properly and effectively. Fascinating battle in a fascinating war.

[@LGredsoxsLG]

Are we gonna get a Ranger Matt cameo during this anniversary?

[@peterwhitehead2850]

Absolutly the crux of the battle , terrifically informative and clarifying . Harry w pfanz 1 ,2 days at gettysburg are a must .Peter from Melbourne civil war society Australia !

[@sarahmognoniart]

Wonderful job-thank you!

[@bradh7941]

Excellent, well beyond unit names. You have taken this beyond the Pickett charge, which many say was the only aspect of the battle. Thanks for showing the many faces of the battle and not just the military. Taking that additional step to show the civilian.

[@kristenrowe5489]

Gettysburg and Shiloh are must visits. ❤️🇺🇸

[@kristenrowe5489]

Hidden hand. Commies.

[@Dive-Bar-Casanova]

And hire a guide. I thought I had it all figured out and dialed in when we visited. Nope,, hire a guide.

[@kristenrowe5489]

@@Dive-Bar-Casanova so true. I had a map that made my eyes cross.

[@crippledcrow2384]

In Wilcox's Alabamians was the 11th Alabama, Company B, which is my 2X Great Grandfather's unit.

[@crippledcrow2384]

14:20 Which Doug failed to mention were with the 14th Alabama on the north side of Spanglers Lane, not the 9th Ala.

[@michaelamanek8908]

Great job !

[@mrs6968]

Thank you very much from Milwaukee Wisconsin where our original VA although empty still stands from its creation during the Civil War beautiful Gothic structure

[@swinginhistory9368]

You guys are awesome but how can you have a battle walk without Garry Adelman he is a national treasure. And I love his hat and beard, keep both.

[@NavyChaps1]

Sarah has been doing exceptionally good work in front of and behind the camera. We’ll done Sarah!

[@paulwatson1041]

Great job Col sir, semper fi

[@RukiDance]

Rebel are grey Yanks are blue, Knowing their history is a Must. We are all indebted to you. (ABT)

[@nareniyer9366]

Brilliant Analysis!

[@Majorme2]

Thanks

[@jasonedgell2352]

Didn’t Ambrose Wrights Brigade break the line and capture a couple canons just south of the Copse of Trees?

[@jorgemartinpaez4376]

Gen. Meade, Gen George / Jorge Meade: has reserves first the elements of the first I Corps, and the Vcorps, then the sixth corp VI! ingenious!

[@carylosborn1808]

I'm related to Brig General Posey

[@TermiteUSA]

So that would be fresh baked bread peppered with black powder smoke.

[@douglashayden329]

Good job. Can't wait for ABT to spend plenty of time on other Battlefields

[@terryeustice5399]

It was amazing your description was very good# Sounded as of the South had better leadership on the field. Might of had a different outcome. Thank you for sharing!

[@mlord1854]

Well done.

[@DouglasJenkins]

Doug's mention of Boyd! the OODA loop lives (even in the past)!

[@tbbb2]

Where was the Rogers farm in relation to where our incredible speakers were standing in this vid?

[@jorgemartinpaez4376]

longstreets I corps attack the wheatfield, and the peachorchard: mclaws hood attacks the den and little round tops, ap hill III division of Anderson? there were 1st us ss, the second are by little round top? there were skirmishlines I'm interested,

[@adampender2482]

Finally a mention of Dorsey Pender. A very brief one but a mention nonetheless

[@SigmaNuHE481]

Is that a spirit of a fallen soldier the whispering I hear?

[@jamespowers6070]

Besides John Burns.....Did any other civilians, or towns folk fight with the Union?

[@keithwoznek4087]

# paralyzed but learning a lot !

[@tiftonseminole3840]

So who made it further, the Virginians, North Carolinians on the 3rd day, or Wright’s Georgians on the 2nd day?

[@crippledcrow2384]

Wilcox and Wright should have been mad. Anderson and Mahone back in the woods taking a nap. Absolutely no help from them. Wilcox ran out of ammo as they had destroyed 1st Minnesota. Wright reaches the crest of Cemetery Ridge but no support and had to retreat after Union forces were gathering for a counter attack. Wright and Wicox couldn't carry off their captured Union artillery pieces and had to leave them.

[@RKramden723]

Thank you, Sarah, for putting civilian faces on this military event. Sorry, but my question is along military lines. History remembers Dan Sickles for his impetuous movement into the Peach Orchard, nearly costing (or so some Historians say) the Federals the day. But, did he really? Or, by moving out into the Peach Orchard did Sickles actually delay Longstreet’s attack on the Union flank for just enough time to give Vincent the opportunity to get his regiment up on Little Roundtop to hold the flank, and save the day. In other words; is Sickles the “goat” ( as history paints him), or is he the hero of day two, sacrificing his men for the greater good?

[@jorgemartinpaez4376]

the Floridians and Alabamans attack the wheat field and peach orchard, and there is a rivalry between the fl al? Humphreys division: was Zook under him? wasn't he a former second corps commander and ft union commander back in NM terr? SUCH AND interesante day! COL CLOUDS! GREAT RECOUNT!# allroadsleadtogettysburg

[@jorgemartinpaez4376]

the AOP continues w meritocracy, ex Col, Chamberlain from regt commander to brigade commander then division birg gen? then V corps commander?

[@p.k.5455]

Its really amazing how the Confederates pushed the Union back pretty much right into the terrain that would eventually be their own undoing. The Union ended up on the high ground and had just the right heroic men in the right places to defend that terrain. Lee made his worst mistake by continuing the fight bc they had consistently been pushing the Union back, unfortunately they pushed them right onto the high ground. Amazing course of events!

[@McNair39thNC]

We can hear you whispering

[@Dive-Bar-Casanova]

They're wingin' it and doing a excellent job.,

[@SigmaNuHE481]

Maybe it's a spirit of a fallen soldier talking

[@petekdemircioglu]

💚🇺🇸💜🇺🇸💚

[@phillipbrown8346]

159 years ago today....NINE BATTLE HARDENED BRIGADES set off across that mile wide killing ground....

[@davidmurphy9433]

I think Sickles made a knuckle head move but it could have just saved the second day

[@nikitaklebnikov3574]

no behind the camera instructions

[@citizenbobx]

Someone had extra caffeine this day.

[@leonidaslantz5249]

I believe Sickles' move was terrible: it merely lost a bunch of men and material that the Confederate Army got anyway and if Sickles followed orders, the US army had all this land covered by artillery and the cost of Jun 2,1863 would have been less with the same or better end result if Sickles had stayed in place. I am a Civil War amateur and am asking anyone more astute to educate me .Thanks.

[@richardmardis2492]

She’s cute 🥰

[@edwardstoner9967]

Stop whispering into your live mike.

[@LeeHoFooks]

Dude needs to learn how to take breath between sentences.
