Thank you StuffWriter, for all your work. I can't get there because I'm in a wheelchair.

Had the privilege of joining Matt on this walk, it was a pure delight

I made my first trip to Gettysburg from 6/30-7/7 and would've loved to have participated in this battle walk. Maybe next year. As a retired teacher I appreciate your knowledge and your delivery of that knowledge. Well done!

I have been watching Ranger Matt since he was a Teenage Park Ranger. Now he has a white goatee. Where have the years gone??? (Thanks @StuffWriter)

Matt is so good with Kids.. we may never know how many of the Kids he’s interacted with over the years were influenced in their future endeavors by him. Well done

What Matt says about Reynolds is another piece of what I think caused Lee to fight there right to the end. If Lee sees Reynolds previous actions as just another piece of the bumbling of Yankee leadership, whether he was a fighter or not, it would embolden Lee to fight at Gettysburg and try to get another Chancellorsville, or Fredericksburg, where the Union forces get whipped despite having superior numbers. More than anything, it was Lees decision to keep up the fight that created the scenario that was Gettysburg.

Matt is Hilarious.... Says the seargant would tell you about your short comings and then looks at the dwarf in the group and says no pun intended almost fell out of my chair

Matt is a Gettysburg treasure.

The 3rd Arkansas never gets any attention. Only unit from that state in the ANV. Terrain shouldn't stop people. We who are into this could care less about going into woods etc.

Many thanks StuffWriter and Ranger Matt, I love watching these because I'm over in the UK and doubt I'll get any closer.

I was glad to hear accounts of the 47th North Carolina as I had two great great grandfathers in that regiment. Neither left an account that I know of. One of them was later wounded at Bristoe Station and was on detached duty after he recovered for the rest of the war.

[@alanmacvean2053]

[@dougm5341]

Never a dull moment with Matt. Well done…

[@CatchAUAP]

Thank u kindly Matt and S.W. This is the best thing going that has to do with American history or history in general. Really really appreciate your work

[@daytonlights-peterwine468]

Thank you for another great video. I do wish you'd get a dead cat (windscreen) for the mic, (which I hope is a shotgun, or mini shotgun), as the wind noise makes it very hard to use ear buds. One day, I hope to win the lottery, and join Ranger Matt in person. Until then, I enjoy him through you.

Matt did several first days battle on Scales and Penders, and several other attacks that I have been searching for. The programs used to be on KZbin and got me hooked on his tours probably 10+ years ago. They are no longer online, sadly.

Wish Matt could do a talk about Buford’s Calvary

Matt is one strange dude, but entertaining
