What a tightrope these guys and gals have to walk b/c of Lost Cause nonsense. Talking vaguely about freedom and bravery b/c they have visitors from all over the country, some of whom would be too offended if they didn't hear praise for the southern cause.

This guy is so preaching and self-righteous I can’t imagine standing out there in the heat getting chewed on by bugs and listening to him blah blah blah on about home and freedom. If you are going on a walk or even watching this UA-cam you want facts about the battle not all that other baloney

THEY SHOULD BLO IT UP EVERY YEAR.... THEY KNOW HOW MUCH POWDER WAS USED

[@douglyons2678]

The most tortured intro I have ever heard.

[@M80Ball]

It’s a shame we have to give such a detailed brief on simply walking outside.

[@jimmyraythomason1]

My great great grandfather, Pvt. Isaac Sanford Thomason with the 64th Ga. Vol. Reg. CSA was there.

Thanks for posting Stuff Writer, I've been to Fredricksburg, Chancellorsville, the Wilderness Antietam and of course Gettysburg. I have never been to Petersburg nor the Crater.
