Sudley Springs, Local Children in Photos and Church Interrupted!: First Manassas 160

[@kaycox5555]

Marvelous!

[@joemabry9643]

Thank you!

[@fokkerd3red618]

Wow! The forest has really grown up since then.

[@christopherthomas4558]

Awesome job Gary. I like to think that as we lose treasures like Ed Bearss and Shelby Foote, they are replaced by younger, and equally dedicated people like yourself who will continue to keep the memory of this war alive. Thank you!

It’s so interesting how the ground looks at once so different and yet the same.

[@mr.billofcourse.2893]

I have been trying to find that spot for the last year. Have been to stop #5 on the driving tour. So, I park my car and cross the road and hike down the trail until it runs out. Wish the NPS would put signs up pointing to the Thornberry house. I'll try again this week. Maybe I over looked a turn or something. Great video. Thanks. I don't live to far away. I'm in Leesburg. Can't believe I have never been that spot before.

Escaping the heat this weekend by watching all these tours. Impeccably done and very informative. Thanks for posting!

[@pigybak]

taking us back in time.

[@clinthowe7629]

So cool, never knew that little springs rock house was there.

[@jamesrogers5277]

Wonderful commentary for its clarity of language, speech and description. Whenever your face appears fronting this noble series I know I am about to enjoy total immersion in the reality - the presence - of true history.

[@deanb4799]

GARRY!!!! Best host and BEST channel on KZbin. Seriously. You and your boys make the most enjoyable content for a civil war buff like myself. Thank you for continuing to bring this fascinating history to life. Kind Regards friends. Great work!

[@eltharhunter8164]

WOW!!! This is GREAT!!!

[@The_PaleHorseman]

Battlefield Trust, I really really like you all, I did see you all are going to Shiloh coming up, was curious while youre there, would you be doing a section on the Bloody Pond, reason I ask, I had 2 Great Great Uncles that were in that battle along with my Great great Grand Father, my Great Great Grand Father was wounded with the 59th OVI and My Great Great Uncle was killed in action around the bloody pond, all on the same day, on Day 2. Thanks.

[@SDfisherman]

Really enjoying the content. 👍🏻

[@AmericanBattlefieldTrust]

glad you like!

[@issiahbernaiche6897]

Thank you greatly for this video!!

[@Hugginsince79]

Very interesting.

[@73beetle19]

The war was already fought so why not learn , study and let the men Rest In Peace. Enjoy the history and go look at the battlefields. Go to the towns and see the beautiful art work in what ever statues are left. Statues can’t do any harm to you. Nothing changes the history that happen. Our country came together and we are reunited stronger than ever. I know this should be the way it is!

[@ethanmorris298]

I live in hardin County TN home of Shiloh battle field love the passion you guys have for history keep up the good work.

[@AmericanBattlefieldTrust]

Thanks! We hope to shoot video in Shiloh before too long...

[@jonathanbaggs4275]

If y'all do shiloh (I live in decatur, ala where Johnston wrote the last letter in his life to Davis before the battle) you need to get Dr Tim Smith and/or Bjorn Skaptason form Abraham Lincoln book shop to accompany you. They are the two best Shiloh historians in the world today. Both lead off trail hikes that show the hidden terrain that played a major role in the battle.

[@tberkoff]

Great video Garry! I really wanted you to travel the flank march route to Sudley Ford. I have visited that ford from the north side near the Sudley Mansion site, now the site of a new housing development (formerly a golf course).

[@FrankP117]

Enjoying these as always, and really like that you are showing the Battlefield Trust Map to help keep with the orientation.

[@AmericanBattlefieldTrust]

Thanks Frank, we are trying to be better about showing the maps for our viewers. Glad you are enjoying!

[@rls1662]

Thanks for this! Very enjoyable and scenic!

[@JohnnyButtons]

Garry, you’re the best lol.

[@andyseamans8718]

I live a few miles from here.

[@brentsawyer2006]

Has the other side of Catharpin Run ever been put up for sale or possibly donated to the Park Service?

[@AmericanBattlefieldTrust]

Not yet.

[@threeforkcreekoutdoors704]

I live in Grafton WV, id love yall to come back and do a piece on Thornbury Bailey Brown

[@Mikes5785]

Very interesting content!! But please add some way of identifying the sequence of the episodes so it makes it easier to follow the progress of the battle

[@jacoblane6151]

we still call catharipan rd the same way here in spotsylvania

[@johnzajac9849]

The Union 'right hook' is similar to the same troop movement used by Hooker in May, 1863, to approach the battlefield at Chancellorsville. 'Retreat ..... back'? Is there any other way to retreat?

[@HistorySavior1941]

Are there efforts to try to purchase the private property yet that the original spring house sits on? I was just curious because you mentioned it as private property.
