    A second StuffWriter/Matt Atkinson video in as many days! I guess we’ve been living right to deserve all this.

    A few weeks ago, I saw Matt face to face for the first time in 5 1/2 years. My wife and I were regular battle walkers with him for years. After she passed away I lost interest in a lot of things. It was good to reconnect with Matt after such a long time. I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things. Good to see you again, buddy.

    I've watched Matt a thousand times, every single video he's done and I still enjoy his tours and lectures. I'm across country from there but one of these days, I hope to get there and take a tour of his. I despise war but I enjoy learning about the Civil War. Thank you for sharing, Stuff Writer!

    Looking forward to the revelation of Little Round Top’s reopening. The last time we visited there was with my late father, shortly after his 90th birthday in the fall of 2017. He was still good for a fair bit of up and down and hiking about, enough to challenge this then sixty-something son.

    Thank you so much for posting these! I’ve been so excited to see more by Matt. Matt is one of the best guides and teachers of history I’ve ever heard. (And I was a history major.). So thank you for all the effort you put into this and to Matt for embracing it and sharing his knowledge with us. 😊

    Great work capturing the rise of the ground through the walk, the defilade is there but it vanishes by the time you get to the final position. I cannot imagine attacking that way without direct support.
    Like Hill 112 near Caen, the idea of the lives spent for such terrain leaves me with an abiding sorrow.

    Very cool to see another Stuffwriter video with Matt! I got to meet Ranger Matt in 2022 and he's the same on and off the camera. It's cool to see the videos but being there in person is the only way to truly see the battlefield.

    Why is that Longstreet quote “going in without Pickett is like going in with 1 boot off” so famous if Pickett’s division had been chilling the past year and growing their numbers?

    Ranger Matt Atkinson the Official/Unofficial voice of Gettysburg. He could describe making a PBJ or BLT with such pizzazz that would leave a peer in awe.

    These walks on the battlefield can be very informative. It would be nice if when the speaker points to an area or is speaking about a particular area if the camera person would turn the camera on that area. We don’t need to constantly see the speaker or the audience. We would like to see the area being spoken about.
    This particular video has been much better than in previous years but we still have a very limited view in many cases.
