Great video! There were seven of us that represented our North-South Skirmish Association (N-SSA) unit. We are the 30th Virginia Sharpshooter Battalion at the 24:18 mark.

At minute marker 16:10 is the 124th New York, the living history unit from your Gettysburg Seminar video in October

I didn't know you guys in the US did remembrance day. I thought you guys called it veterans day. Or is this something just for the civil war?

U.S. Civil War reenactors at Gettysburg 2024--total pride ... total respect.

Thank you for sharing. My father and I were at Gettysburg this past September.

Always fun to start your day with a BANG! yeah we used to do a "History of the GI Program" at the end of the parade at the Dobbin house showing and explaining the evolution of the american GI uniform gear & weapons. see some familiar faces in the parade. love the ABC for dinner. glad you guys had a fun time

Got too love the beer garden at Sweeny Tavern esp in kit sitting by the fire, Well you could always try staying at the Colton Motel LOL. trying to get into many of the popular eats can be tough on Remembrance Day esp with all the reenactors in town. We are getting ready for next weekends Plymouth Ma "America’s Hometown Thanksgiving Parade" (praying for good weather)

Thanks for the video...(and the correction). The weekend had originally been 150th NY. But over the years, in order to maintain a company formation, it evolved into "New York regiments" at Gettysburg. So now we have the 119th, 124th, 150th NY and "friends" who fall in for the weekend. Good times, with good pards!!!

lol no problem thanks for posting this

I toured/visited the Battle of Gettysburg many yrs ago when our children were very young. It was a spell binding time. Our now grown children still remember that visit. The size and scope of the entire battle from start to finish being on that ground following the actions is mind boggling.

Cool place to visit. One of the greatest men and US Presidents In the top 3

yeah im part of a youtube thumbnail. lol. glad you enjoyed the demonstration however we were three units the 124th the 119th and the 150th N.Y.S.V.

That deff looked a fun last day exploring Rose Farm to Evergreen . esp wht walking around town and shopping lol last trip we did some of the gift shops and had to hit WW2 American Experience Museum (drop off some beer ) see some new items. always a stop into Regimental Quartermasters (scored a nice item) We also got Matt's coffee from Bantam and Beer & soda from the ABC along with 2 cases from Adam County Whinnery & a case of goodies from Mason Dixon Distillery it's always a good time when your visiting Gburg

God bless the South. The Union may have had some real problems had General Thomas J. ''Stonewall'' Jackson lived and made it to Gettysburg.

Bantam Coffee wasn't open??lol , man this looks like it was so much fun if you haven't tried it at Sweeney's Tavern - Bangers & Mash w/ a Confederate sharpshooter The Rose farm will be a great time, we did that during the 159th and had it all to ourselves aside from the horses grazing in the field with us.

right next door...

Western Marylander here! In the beautiful Appalachian mountains! General Grant's father-in -law once lived in our small town . He lived rifgt bext door to Emmanuel Custer , father and blacksmith of General George Custer! Custer was great at Gettysburg, but he should have NEVER attacked the Native Americans at Little Big Horn! The Dent family later moved to Missouri, where Grant met his wife Julia. The Custers moved to Michigan, as I recall. Cumberland MD has a very rich history! Ft. Cumberland ! A young Col. George Washington and British General left the fort on their way to Ft. Duquesne,later called Ft.Pitt, now Pittsburgh! Lots of French & Indian War history! Cumberland was also a major UNION hospital site during the Civil War!

Thanks for video John! Missing you this trip as well.

We had a great time in Gburg last month for WW2 Weekend at Ike's Farm with just under 3,000 people coming through the encampment. met up with Matt from Addressing Gettysburg as he came through on sunday, . We got to do a little exploring on the battlefield, and did a tour with the owner of the Mason Dixon Brewery. then a day trip to Antietam (they now have a challenge coin at the visitor center) tried Capt Benders Tavern in town ( a must amazing food) and also hit up "Antietam Brewery" a great selection of beers. 15:46 mark I scared the poop out of Dorr once he learned me and the guys from E/506th were in town on Friday night. some guys saw him the the MAX show with his sidekicks. if the troopers from Easy company knew their items would end up in his hands they would have burned it all so he couldn't make $$ off them. Love sweeny Tavern we ate there twice while in town this past trip. the ABC is the hangout for the the troopers of E/506th Reenacted when in town lol

I have been to Grant’s tomb. It’s very impressive. Didn’t know until I did genealogy research that my great grandfather served under General Grant, as a 16 year old, severely wounded at Shiloh, then re-enlisted and was at Vicksburg, across TN, AL, then was part of Sherman’s march to the sea,up into the Carolinas, and was in the grand review in Washington D.C. Always been interested in the Revolutionary War and Civil War, now even more so.

Very enjoyable. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing

Very nice. I'm 63 and have studied the Civil War and Grant for years. I never actually saw a tour of the cottage until now. Yes his book I believe brought in $450,000 an incredible amount of money then. This saved his family from poverty. Of course there was no presidential pension until after Truman. Thanks again.

I just found the channel, very cool history that will now be on my visit list, thanks for sharing.

Love your videos. Especially, the part where you were trying to con your dad out of fifty cents for the candy bar! lol. Also, just wanted to say Thank You for your service!

Yeah the ABC is a great place to eat, last time there we had a group of WW2 Paratroopers in the beer garden lol. Love the Spangler Spring area esp as the 2nd MA made their charge there. and the fighting on Culp's Hill 5:56 mark OMG a nice clean trail up too the top of LRT i did that walk a few time back in the day and the thorns would get you 6:36 mark not a fan of the railing around the 44th /12th NY , but that's just me, LRT is the #1 spot for sunset During the 159th we walked the field of the Rose Farm and using William Frassanito's book "Early Photography at Gettysburg' we were able to line up the photos in the spot they were taken (think it was just the house being worked on now being set up for a AirBnB)

LOL The Mine way back when , we were bar hoping around town in Kit CW to WW2 with arms, we did a modern Stack and did a tactical entry and stacked up to move down the shaft to the door and scared the crap out of an old couple who came out just as we got to the door.

Spent so much time eating at Sweeney's Tavern when i lived in town as i could walk to it then stumble back home after drinking with everyone lol , Tim Smith is a regular their, the beer garden is a must along with the Bangers & Mash.

Love Antietam , it really is an amazing battlefield to tour, and just about a 1hr drive from Gburg. 9;25 mark Love that your talking about the 2nd Mass (as a yankee myself in MA) then the 2nd Mass also fought in Gburg at the base of Culp's Hill. Burnside bridge is a must an amazing spot

sorry we missed your guys trip to Gbug for the 161th as we couldn't swing 2 trips this year. will be their in sept for the WW2 Weekend and adding a few days to that trip to do Antietam ect...

I enjoyed the series! Thanks for sharing.

Nice video man. Thanks for sharing and I really enjoyed the history lesson, the old time photos and the thowback videos!!!!

I did same thing in 2018 with my nephew. Did Antietam for 6 hrs. Drove up to gettysburg and got hotel and dinner. Did Gettysburg for next 2 days.

I am really glad you're still around. Still remember the videos you used to make with toys! Cheers!

I was born on Nov 19, A fact I am very proud of, And proud member of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War based on the service of my great uncle, Pvt Franklin Hutchins, Co D, 13th New York Cavalry died at Anderson Prison at age of 16,

Such a high fence for someone who doesn’t believe in keeping people out of places they don’t belong 🤨

I like your videos. Will you be doing other videos?

Wonderful to see you making content again after a long time. You seem to be keeping well, so I hope life is being good to you!

Thank you for such a good video

Hey there! German reenactor here seen posing in the background on the left side of the screen at 24:14. Definitely understand that it looks odd from an outside perspective. We are always happy to answer the awkward questions about just "Why do you do this?" What it really boils down to is, somebody has to do it. We are always invited back by the museum because our group in particular is a heavily-vetted, well represented group of living historians with no real ties to N@zism. A majority of our members have relatives who were negatively affected by the war, I have Jewish ancestors who fled from Belarus at the time and immigrated to the United States. Our goal in German WW2 reenacting is to represent the conscripted soldier, who had no choice but to fight for a country that was unfortunately run by very evil people. By doing this, we are able to keep the memory of the bad guys alive, as history may be doomed to repeat itself when forgotten; but by representing a soldier of the general army, known as the Heer forces of the Wehrmacht, we are able to represent these bad guys in the best, least controversial way possible. This is in opposition to actually dressing up as Nazis, or members of the Waffen-SS, who were known in far greater documentation to commit atrocities than the members of the general army. I am happy that there are also groups that do portray the Waffen-SS, as they unfortunately also need to be shown in WW2 reenactments, but you will never find one of my group's members in that uniform. There were indeed SS groups present this weekend, which are also run by very good, well-vetted people. In the end, my groupmates and I all have the best intentions, and we seek only to teach history to those who are more curious about the bad guys after visiting the good guy camps. For that reason we feel comfortable with representing the Germans in World War 2 - because it's necessary that someone does. Thanks for attending the show, we hope you stop by for the Battle of the Airfield during Columbus Day Weekend! Please feel free to respond to my comment with any questions or concerns that you may have.

You missed the automobile building .

Great video, I just subscribed!

Nice Video again ❤❤

Hello 😊 Nice Video Greedings from Germany ❤

Thats great that you got to meet him, Was going to try to make that meet up as i wanted my DVD of Gettysburg signed but it didn't pan out. but i spent 3 wks with Sam Elliot who signed it and my Nam helmet. oh there is Matt behind JD from Addressing Gettysburg Podcast during the cannon firing. another great guy who we did shots of VAT69 on the July 2nd meet up at Seminar Ridge

The Eternal Peace flame is a great stop and a great spot for sunset, we always stop by this area. i can't with Dorr Love Sweeney Tavern (sadly they r just having staffing issues and there new computer system is wonky) 8:39 mark Project_Past sitting behind you w/ his buddy , JD is a good guy Gary A. is so much fun to talk with Chris W. also great guy also real down to earth and great to talk with Yeah Sweeney Tavern is a good place, remember to wipe your feet on the English crest lol Mr. G's Roadhouse is our new favorite place to eat , The Steak Tips amazing @#$&^%$#@ as i watch this now i can taste them lol so going back. back in the day that was the Blue Parrot and in the area of the food truck was parking and a small night clubish area for the college kids. nothing like being fat & happy in G'burg at the end of the day

The 1st day of battle really does get overlooked by alot of people when they visit. God when i was living in town Lee's HQ was a gift shop inside and it had a motel on site. the battlefield trust did a great job restoring it back to the way it was. The new museum is amazing. Can't stand Dorr , i'am an old E/506th Reenactor and spent alot of time with the Troopers so we know how he got items. LOL you guys look good in Blue i haven't eaten at the Dobin house yet lol drank in the tavern alot when we bar hopped around town in uniform.

Chris M. has a video of it

We were in town also for the 160th, We skipped the Battle reenactment as i'am a reenactor (so seen plenty of them lol) so we spent time on the battlefield checking out all the work they did cleaning up Devil's Den. We meet up with some history youtube channels on Fri night for dinner at Federal Point Inn (Forward Gettysburg / Project_Past / History Savior 1941) oh you stayed in the high class hotel LOL nice, the bar is real good there haven't tried the food but heard it's good but $$ Good OL' Sweeney Tavern spent ALOT of time there, the beer garden is great for people watching. Bangers & Mash are excellent w/ a Confederate Sharpe Shooter to wash it down with. Mr.G's is a must lol so the org owner sold it and run's Mr. G's Roadhouse (A food truck out behind Gettysburger and their new bar area The Hideout) OMG the food is amazing. Yeah having lived in Gburg i can say the local's are great we always have a great time when we go back. but yeah we smack talk about tourist LOL

Sweet video. I'm pretty sure I know you from somewhere...maybe Ft. Drum?

Stephen Lang is very entertaining and doesn't need a script to internest others in what he says. Great video series and in particular part 4.
