Great seeing Jerry in person here. Great channel and very educational, speaking as a Welsman who lived in USA awhile, where it's diffcult to learn and history there at all by word of mouth, speaking from experience. Now living in Scotland, with my heritage, these things should never be dumbed out of people's educations. Your civil war is not only fascinating learning, but also never remembered better than by the likes of Jerry. War should never be celebrated and this site acheives the balance in how to represent it factually in a brilliant way. Jerry, you put main stream media to shame mate. Pirate
That lead-in about 'Tecumseh' and Georgia loving him was priceless!! I laughed outright!! Doesn't he look like he could chew thru razor wire! I would NOT want to be the one to say "no" to him when he said pass the peas at dinner!...piece a work... Excellent documentary and a better tutorial of this battle than I've heard elsewhere. I really like that you take the time and use the camera to point out directions and where the viewer is standing, what they're standing on, and what's at the far end. Great statistics too. You're closing in on Shelby Foote, Mr. Skinner! Can't wait for the next one. 🙋
Your history videos are so accurate and factual. Being a history buff I study the Civil War. You make the battle sites come alive. Please make some more. Thank you again
I've been to Shiloh several times in my life and learn something new each time I go there. This "visit" to Shiloh was no exception. What an excellent mental picture you draw of the battle lines, Mr. Skinner!
Another great video, thanks for it. Have you thought much at all about something on Nathan B. Forrest? Sadly, too many people unfairly judge historic figures by today's standards rather than those under which they lived. The case of General Forrest illustrates this more than most and I think a treatment in your style could help rehabilitate his reputation as one of the most brilliant light cavalry commanders in history. Sorry friend, too late I see you've already done one which I'm about to enjoy. Thanks again for all your hard work.
Man, I like the way you tell a story! Subscribed last year, but lost track for many months. Watched 3 videos on Shiloh yesterday, but none took me to the various locations the way you did. Great job!
My G-G uncle Charles Hall was captured at Shiloh. He was with Company E, 7th Mississippi Calvary. He was fleeing a Yankee charge when his horse refused to cross a bend in the Tennessee river. He dismounted and began to cross the river alone. When he was about waist deep in the river the Yankees showed up and began to fire at him. He pulled a handkerchief from his vest and waved it to surrender but they wouldn't let him they kept firing. He pulled his pistol and fired back grazing one of the Yankees on the top of his head. Just about that time an officer arrived and commanded them to stop firing. He had seen that uncle Charles was trying to surrender. He had been shot three times but was able to recover in a Yankee prison in Illinois where he spent the rest of the war.
@@kravitz1999 Do you know that only about 6% of the southern population owned slaves ? Do you know that slavery was legal and was protected by international law ? Do you know that about 3% of the northern population owned slaves, and that there were black freedmen who owned slaves too, even in the South ? Do you know that the issue of slavery was not the cause of the CW ?
Nathan Bedford Forrest's motto was "Get there first with the most!" Had he got there first with the most, this battle might have ended differently. Still, Forrest showed up with 300 men close to the end of the battle, and took a musket ball to the hip while customarily leading the charge, and again survived. With a total of 29 horses shot out from underneath him, Forrest was one of the most memorable soldiers to fight for the Confederate Army.
my great great and a few more greats was a little girl when this happened. they lived in the log cabin that is still there. the union army took the cabin from them. they handed her a bible and her bonnet and sent her out into the fighting. some how she walked away from there and lived a long life. but they werenever given back their land.they used her cabin for a union field hospital I believe it was in the peach orchard.....of all the battle fields this is the one that I was most interested in mostly because of my families cabin...and we did fight for the south.the cabin wasn't destroyed it was filled with blood stains and bullet holes. been in that cabin many times..
I watch your show often & I love videos. This one in particular. My great grandmother Sarah Anne (Rorie) Rice was born in Corinth Miss. during the Civil War. If you ever get the chance I would love to see one about Corinth if you ever get back there. Thank you.
This is an excellent documentary of Shiloh Battlefield. The narrator did his homework. I wanted to visit Shiloh when I lived in Nashville but never got to go. I did visit many times The Battle of Stones River near Murfreesboro, TN. My G G Grandfather was in the Union Army stationed at Camp Nelson Ky. near Nicholasville, Ky. He was Private Solomon Carter M386 ROLL 5 of the 49th Kentucky Infantry Company K. I have a copy of his military record. It is noted that for 6 months he was in the Hospital at Barbourville, Ky. Knox County. It says "Sick" but does not give any details as to what the sickness was. He returned to duty. He mustered in, in 1863 at Camp Nelson Ky. and was mustered out in1864. From what I can find about the Ky. 49th Infantry Co. K is as follows: The 49th Kentucky Volunteer Infantry was organized at Camp Nelson, Kentucky, under Colonel John G. Eve, This Regiment was originally recruited for the cavalry service but, prior to muster-in, on December 14, 1863, the various detachments were consolidated into ten companies and the officers were duly commissioned from the date. All the companies and detachments were mustered into the United States service on the 19th day of September 1863, except two, one of which was mentioned on October 7, 1863, and the other November 3, 1863. Attached to District of Somerset, Ky., 1st Division, 23rd Army Corps, Dept. of Ohio, to January 1864. District of Southwest Kentucky, 1st Division, 23rd Army Corps, to April, 1864. 4th Brigade, 1st Division, District of Kentucky, 5th Division, 23rd Army Corps, Dept. of Ohio, to July, 1864. Camp Nelson, District of Kentucky, to December, 1864. The Regiment marched as follows: It left Camp Nelson for Somerset, Kentucky, October 20, 1863; shortly afterwards two companies went to Camp Burnside, Ky.and one was put on duty at Waynesburg, Kentucky; The Regiment was moved from Somerset to Camp Burnside on the 3rd and 4th days of January 1864, and on the 1st day of August 1864, it left Camp Burnside for Lexington, Kentucky, where it arrived on the 6th and on the 17th it was sent to Louisville, with the view of being marched against Adam Johnson's command; but it was recalled and returned to Lexington on August 21, 1864; It remained on duty, chiefly in the central portion of the State. Ordered to Tennessee October 1, 1864, and railroad guard duty near Stones River Murfreesboro Tennessee and between Wartrace and Mill Creek Tennessee until December 26, 1864, when it was mustered out at Lexington, Kentucky. The Roster of the 49th Ky. Inf. Co. K: The soldiers of Company K were mostly volunteers from Knox County Kentucky.

Chief, i live about 60 miles north of Tupelo and have had to many jobs to mention over a life time. I call myself retired, but seem to be working more than ever. Thank you my friend. Jerry
I’m sure you get a to. Of suggestions for topics but one on American civics could be enlightening and summed up in 30 minutes. I use to make civics a mandatory lecture when I bailed anyone out of the can as a bondsman. I’m sure not one client has ever forgotten their ticket to freedom depended on their attention. I could tell a lot about their attitude and sincerity not to skip bail by their attention. No one ever skipped out on me. The schools sure don’t teach it. Even the Sheriffs and deputies listened in most times. For the most part they acted like they didn’t get the reasoning for my effort. My reply was; “if more people new the structure of our government and limits on powers and obligations of citizens there might be less crime and less of a need for police intervention at every turn. Oh yeah; the reason for the war of Independence. Since this topic was about war I see your topics cover a wide spectrum of American interests.
Mr. Skinner I am a pvt. in the 7th TN Co. G out of Parkers Crossroads, I am a great admirer of your videos, you are a more enjoyable narrator than any of the people on history channel, and you have a very soothing impartial voice. I hope you'll be at the battle of Shiloh 155th I would be great to have your talents employed there and I would greatly like to meet you in person, please keep up the great work and I hope you'll be able to join us at the event, its supposed to be extra big this year if God willing reenactors politics dont wreck it, be safe and God bless sir.- Pvt. Dustan J. Bell 7th TN Co. G dismounted cavalry aka-Red
I enjoyed the narration. We plan to tour the battlefield later this year for the 2nd time. Your information was helpful in understanding the battle's significance. Thanks for posting. - from Texas, DC
Enjoyed your presentation as well as many others I have watched. Recently I made a return visit to Shiloh after many years and I wish we would have known about your video prior to our visit. My teenage daughter and mother were with me and we were trying to teach her history of the civil war and battle of Shiloh. At one point my deceased father shared with me we had family who fought at Shiloh and survived. His whole ,and escapes my memory after all these years. Thank you.
My GGGrandfather was in the this battle with the 1st Ky.bde. He survived.. This battle was the beginning of the end of the Lost Cause, there is absolutely no doubt about it......
Twenty three thousand american Casualties by the time the battle of Manassas was over... That doesn't count all of the living victims....what a total waste
I have always been interested in Gen. John Bell Hood's story. It would be a good one for you to do. His life AFTER the Civil War was so very sad, and IN life, he didn't get the credit he deserved.
This was a fateful 'nearly' for the South . I read that there was a natural loss of leadership/thrust when Johnston was wounded. if the Union Army had been pushed into the river/swamps ....
Thank you Jerry! I am a history buff as well. Trying to learn all the Battles of the Civil War. Seeing the sights help form a better impression as to why the battle went the was ot was fought.
what amazing men and what a sacred place! thank you so much for this. what a feeling to be there and feel the presence of all that courage and suffering.
A wonderful presentation Jerry. Ever since I was a teenager I’ve wanted to tour the battlefields of the American Civil War. Since I’m now 68 and have back and leg problems it’s unlikely I will ever cross the pond and follow my dream. Your presentation was so wonderful I felt I was there. Thankyou so much Jerry for being my legs, I enjoyed every minute. ❤️

Where in Illinois was he held as a prisoner?

My great grandfather and his brother were canoneers for the North at the Battle of Shiloh. They were German immigrants from St. Louis.

Hays asked Johnson"General are you wounded?" Johnson replied "Yes. And I fear mortally."
That's true.
Heard none other than the great (and now late) Shelby Foote state precisely that for the now acclaimed Ken Burns series on the war.

Just fascinating and sorrowful. May they all RIP. Thank you for the “visual tour” of the area it was very educational. Great job !
We need a Bio of Mr Skinner.
It is important to have the story of the Great Historian.
I have always been interested in Gen. John Bell Hood's story. It would be a good one for you to do. His life AFTER the Civil War was so very sad, and IN life, he didn't get the credit he deserved.
You sure did a good job on this one Mr Jerry! You sir,are super!
