Carol Reardon is the real deal. She was my U.S. Military History professor at Penn State in 2006. She also took us on a tour of Gettysburg. She's awesome!
How lucky!!
Gary’s love for history and his passion to educate us is second to none.
he makes you want to learn and listen.
I share his passion. My wife sometimes wonders if I was with a Union regiment at this battlefield 160 years ago.
He's brilliant
Yeahhhh! Dr. Reardon. Wonderful! Sarah, that was a powerful quote. Thank you all.
My Great-Great Grandfather served in the 8th Ohio Volunteer Infantry from 1861-64. He was at the battle of Gettysburg and managed to survive the war without any wounds or major illness. He was very fortunate, many of his comrades weren't so lucky.
Couldn't be there today, but I did what I could: I paid my respects to Major General John Reynolds at his grave in Lancaster at 10:30am, around the time he fell in Gettysburg, 160 years ago today.
Brilliant coverage..... Lots of love for great history teaching from a Red coat across the pond.... Dr Carol one of the best I have ever watched!
I'm loving this series for the 160th anniversary of the July 1-3 Battle Of Gettysburg. Great job with teaching all of us to never forget the bloodiest battle in history.
Thank you for your passionate statement on why Confederate soldiers fought. I have 2 relatives on my Mom's side that fought with Hood. One lost his lower arm. Neither one ever owned a slave and didn't like it. They fought because their fellow Texians were going to fight.
That's amazing! I love reading about the Texas Brigade!
Lots of poor Southerners fought. Many rich Rebs stayed at home.
got tricked by rich slave owners to fight for slavery
Regardless of their personal feelings they were fighting to preserve slavery. All the nonsense about "state's rights" is just that, nonsense. The one and only thing that allowed southern states to mouth such gibberish (state's rights) was the complete and brutal subjugation of one race by another. Cheers!
This war was indeed about slavery - and a whole lot more. A close inspection of the industrial revolution, the economic situation before and after the war, the banking situation before and after the war, as well as the labor situation before and after will illuminate much for those who care to understand this tragic and complex event in a more holistic perspective.
Dream team=Garry and Dr. Carol. I love these videos!
Dr. Reardon is so wonderful. She reminds me of my favorite teachers and professors that made me love learning about history. I could listen to her all day. Thank you, Dr. Reardon and ABT for another terrific video series.
"Reynolds died in a whole different lot of places depending on what tree you listen to." Gary lol!!!!
Meadville, PA. I was born and grew up there. I am Saegertown High School grad. Now living in Indiana. Thank you for what you are doing, Carol.
Really appreciating the individual and personal perspectives of the veterans.
Thank you Carol and Garry. Well done all around.
Dr Carol…. As a Hoosier, thank you for highlighting the hard hitting Iron brigade Hoos of the 19th Indiana. The personal story of their Sgt Major was fantastic… Long live the ABT!!! Up the Irons!!!
I love listening to Dr. Carol
Great presentation! So glad to hear more about Archer's Bgd. They are often just written off as the unit that was routed by the Iron Bgd but they went up to The Angle on July 3rd.
I was here today too! Love Gettysburg!
Another great video, I always appreciate Carol Reardon for her expertise and humanity. I remember once hearing her speak and recommending that if there is a convenient bench nearby standing on it and just changing your view by a few feet is a great way to get an idea of what an officer on horseback's view was like, Also appreciate Sarah's contribution. And Garry, a late vote for the strong Vincent look.
👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌Thank you for your passionate preservation of our history.
The ABT gettysburg videos are my yearly treat, It's like a mini holiday for a UK 🇬🇧 fan....thanks for the great quality as usual
Thank you for your hard work Battlefield Trust!!! Gary I vote for the Vincent Chops!!!👍
As always, top notch.
LOVE Carol R!!!
An Ancestor of mine served in Company F 24th Michigan Infantry Regiment and was seriously wounded on July 1,1863 at Gettysburg. His name was Corporal Levi Freeman who is a distant cousin. He survived his wounding and lived into the 20th Century.
Great presentation. I own a piece of the Reynolds Tree. I received it as a plaque presented by the Town of Gettysburg to the commissioning crew of the ship. I am honored to own that piece of history
Enjoyed Sarah's 150th Pennsylvania post-war quote. It's certainly a very deep reflection on all wars and the sacrifice that the soldiers make. At what cost do we wage war? And was it worth the many sacrifices and lives that it cost?
Berks County born and raised, so I thank you heartily for educating me on the 151st PA. I've never known much about our Berks boys that fought so it was such a delight to hear about Jonathon Himmelberger, unfortunate as his fate was.
Gary's passion is so compelling, matching the profound reverence I felt when I first stepped out of my car and put my feet down on the hallowed ground at Gettysburg
Seeing as I originally hail from Rochester NY, it's gotta be the hometown hero, Patrick O'Rourke!
Awesome episode, folks! Thank you all - my only regret is I can’t be there in person but you guys make it the next best thing!
Voting for Gary to go “Paddy O’Rourke!”
Garry, I vote toward Strom Vincent. Way cool, My friend. Another excellent informative series around the 1st days sites in Gettysburg.
Thanks for the wonderful video!
Really appreciate the videos during the anniversary of the battle each year. Also appreciate all the other videos you do.
Outstanding Garry & team -Thank you!
The Iron brigades arrive of the I corps under Gen John Reynolds, the first day's fighting is intense, Gracias Gary and crew, it is very interesting!
Thank you for making these videos. Your information is invaluable. I’ve visited Gettysburg four times and will go back again. As a North Carolina native, the 26th NC Regiment stories intrigue me.
Study Major General William Dorsey Pender
Thank you for doing this AND getting us to places we can’t get to today because of conservation efforts.
Cant say thank you enough for this special 160th Anniversary event. The variety of speakers add a rich tapestry of information.
Another Hoosier here that very much appreciates the story of the 19th Indiana.❤
Such a great presentation - thank you.
Great stories. So much was happening it just is amazing.
Going to be more amazing to see Gary with chops on Sunday!!
Ed from Lynchburg
Love Battlefield Trust videos been watching for a couple of years now❤
Thx for the post 👍 🇺🇲
It’s truly summer when you get warm air, green grass, leaves on the trees and ABT in Gettysburg passing on knowledge about our history! Thanks sooo much keep going the channel is growing, know you’re history or it’s bound to repeat itself.
Thank you for your dedication and committed efforts. Love these videos.
Yeah Sara!!👍👍👍
Good job!
Like the misplacement of the marker where Reynolds was shot, author Earl Hess wrote in his book, 'Pickett's Charge', that the Armistead wounding marker on Cemetery Ridge is in the wrong place, too. At 11:24, where the man and the woman are standing, and where Garry is crossing, one map indicated that, after the fighting, a temporary burial ground was located there.
Thank you. Perhaps one day you could talk about the fight at Harmon's Farm. The Seminary Museum is a wonderful place to visit. There is a log in one of the rooms that lists many of those soldiers who were treated there. One was George Pells, 20th NYSM. I found him in the log book. He survived his wound, transferred to the VRC and spent the rest of his life in his home town, taking folks out to fish, or just go boating on the river.
God Bless you folks… your content is always so well done and so inspiring 🇺🇸🇺🇸✌🏼✌🏼
I'm in the UK always been fasinated with the civil war. Been to Gettysburg some years ago along with a few other battlefields, my cousin who lives there used to live nearby
Great job, everyone.
It is so sad that our country had to go through this and the people had to suffer that much.
And now some people want us to go through it again.
@@davidbowman4259 I agree with you 100%. It is like they have not learned from history.
I'm questioning the description of the 150th Regiment PA Vol as "Bucktails". The Pennsylvania Monument at Gettysburg names Colonel Roy Stone and Lt Walton Dwight with the 149th Regiment. And I've read they were also "Bucktails". Officially designated the 42nd Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, the unit was also known as the 13th Pennsylvania Reserves, the 1st Pennsylvania Rifles, and the Kane Rifles. They originated in Kane, PA and Smethport, PA. The other "Bucktails" I've read about was the 149th Regiment, PA Vol.
Today is the anniversary of the first day of Gettysburg. Buford's cavalry managed to hold of Heth's division till Reynolds arrived. It was only one civilian who joined in the fight and that was John Burns.
Company K of the 7th Tennessee were known as 'The Blues'.
Dr Reardon!!
I'm a disabled veteran, consider myself educated with a Ph.D., a college instructor, etc., and I believe in states rights, currently more so than ever before. Oh, my GG Grandfather fought with the Mississippi 7th Company I. 12:59
Carol is awesomeness
Voting for Gary to go “Paddy O’Rourke!”
My wife's g-g grandfather was wounded and later died, about a month later at Gettysburg .
151 PA vol INf, the fighting the first day is very interesante!
Went to school with Mike Dreese. I could see him digging into the "schoolteacher's" brigade...! True student of the game....
Capt Archibald Norris a school teacher, a tall guy then Union commander of a company! amazing!
Love seeing Carol again. I love women who are so into history like I am. Remember ladies history just isn’t a guy thing. There were many women who love and enjoy history too. Thank you Carol I really enjoy watching you and all you bing to these videos.♥️👍
Voting for the Burnside!
War does not prove who is right nor wrong but who is left.
North Carolina was here. All of Carolina was here
Where the Chambersburg Pike crosses Willowby's Run was that wooden or stone bridge?
Gary, does it drive you crazy to have to hold the mike? It sounds much better 👍
Obviously Gary should NOT shave but go for the full Ambrose Burnside!
And Chris Mackowski has to race him, growing an appropriate StoneWall Jackson before next Chancellorsville! ;)
Just curious, does the Trust utilize silvopasture and regenerative rotational grazing? To restore battlefields?
Paddy O’Rourke for sure!!
These productions are just a cut above the rest
ABT never covers Major General William Dorsey Pender when speaking on the first days battle
19 Indiana Vol InF, see we were soldiers the Sgt Major was that type of man!oh my 20 years old sgt Major,Blanchard, a joven young Sgt Major
I think you should let your beard keep growing until it is exactly like Longstreet's beard was in the movie!
The Buckdale regts BuckTail brigade! 142.143 13th PA vol Inf Reserves?
I appreciate this as an amateur historian in his early forties.. but if the park service wants things to be seen as the were in 1863.. they should make it look that way!
As an Illinois boy, you should take the look of Lincoln.
🎉
Not all poems rhyme. It depends on the type of poem.
Garry Strong Adelman
A TN GA AL shot Gen Reynolds? 1015am?
Capt Norris Allegheny alumni wow? of TN
Vote for Strong Vincent
Gary I vote Patty O’rorke!
School teachers and mill workers, still called school teacher's Regt, interesante!
Many Southerners, both those already in the US Army and those who joined during the war went north to fight for the Union. That includes one of my Great-Great Grandfathers from Tennessee who's family owned slaves. It's called knowing right from wrong. Also, there is the matter of the Oath. Lee and others took an oath to the Constitution of the United States, not to a particular state. There has never been a proviso in the Oath that allowed them to turn their allegiance to the state they were born in. The Oath is to protect the Constitution against all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC. There's a word for breaking that oath and that word is Treason.
O'Rourke
Buford mustache!
" that ain't no militia..."
I have both sides of my family tree.
Ma side goes back to ppl who both came over on the Fortune (1623)
Da side only the male who came to VA in 1663
So both sides have multiplied a lot.
We did not do just these families but the families the Females married into.
All told ppl I am related to by blood 67 of them fought in the Civil War. Some south some north
At Gettysburg had just one on each side. Both on Ma's side.
Most fought in the west and then the deep south
Wish I could remember names but cant right now and the tree is so large it would take me hrs to find them
I say grow the beard for another year and do James Longstreet!
"That's OK. You can have the honor of carrying the regimental flag. I'll carry it next time!"
I'd take a pass all together..
The Lincoln, has to be the Lincoln!
Its all great you guys do these videos...but warfare and the human psychological toll it takes on the participants is far beyond the mere movements of armies on the battlefield. It's barbarism at its core.
Trust me NPS.. Many of Americans still support states rights
Gary, you do history a disservice by oversimplifying the reason southern states seceded. Really? Just slavery? It was certainly a key issue, but not the only reason.
