You should visit the UK and we'd be happy to see you. We have history that includes the Celts, Romans, Norman's, Vikings, Medieval, English Civil War, castles, battlefields, and Anglo-Saxons, to name a few.
One of my favorite battlefields to visit. I’m amazed at the length of the Confederate line (7 miles?). A good full day of battlefield touring is to see Fredricksburg and Chancellorsville/Wilderness. Stop and see Stonewall Jackson’s buried arm. My father was in tears standing at the graveside. Thanks to The Trust for all you do.
I had two great grandfathers both of whom defended against the war of northern aggression at the first battle of Fredericksburg. Both were injured during then battle. Many years ago during a college archeology class, our instructor said: “if your DNA was at Fredericksburg, you were there” BTW. I really like this side by side of the old and modern sunken road visuals. An excellent visualization
Thanks you, Kris. A wonderful analysis of the Russell photo and surrounding area and the use of VR. I grew up on Hanover Street nearby and still live nearby to walk this road. The Union cemetery above the Sunken Road is a wonderful retreat and remembrance from our time.
Just an amazing photo. Through it, You are able to give us a sense of what the fighting must have been like for soldiers on both sides at the sunken road, of Marye's Heights! Thank you!
Lived in Fredericksburg, briefly, as a child, and attended Ferry Farm Elementary School in Falmouth. . That was my first introduction to the Battle of Sunken Road. I travel to the DC metro area, frequently, and never miss an opportunity to return to Fredericksburg. When I was a child, the little museum there had more artifacts than it does now but I still enjoy going back to that spot that is frozen in time.
I love the visualization! Thank you for that great work! I read all the books, starting with the venerable Time/Life series on the Civil War, but none of it gave me that visceral sense of what the battlefields were really like.
Great and informative video! I love living in Fredericksburg and seeing such historic and monumental areas almost on a daily basis! Every time I'm on this section of Sunken Road, I always think how horrible it was for both sides and the townsfolk who stayed here during each of those battles.
I have read that rifles, and hats, were often staged in photographs. Anyone else remember reading that? I think it was done by Matthew Brady & Co at Gettysburg, but may have been employed by photographers of the day in other venues.
this is incredible...i have seen this photo many times over the years but bringing it to life in 3D brings this in a perspective i wasn't expecting....no longer just a distant impersonal photo...it's now an immersive first person perspective and experience....it seems as if the battle had just ended.
I’ve lived here in The Burg for 24+ years and have been to Sunken Road many times. This is the first time I’ve seen these photos! Very cool video! Well done!
Yea, great presentation. Meant a lot to me personally. I'm from Ireland and I've walked that road. Amazing to see the photo and the modern road overlapped. Thanks.
Was just there in August and the Ranger gave is a solo tour of the Innis house since we were the only ones to show for his Ranger program. Very interesting
Excellent. Love it. Now that's great teaching. Really enjoyed that. Loved the graphics. Overlaying the picture. So helpful and his explanations was great. I learned alot. Thank you.more like this please👏👏👏
Some, but not all, of the larger stones at the base of the wall looked original during the reveal of your presentation. VERY interesting! TY for posting this.
This is my home town. I guess growing up here I didn't look at it as being as an amazing place as it is. A lot of history of the Civil War here in Fredericksburg and Chancellor. Great video.
One of the most brilliant presentations allowing the viewer to experience what occurred just after the battle at the Sunken Road.
In my opinion every citizen should experience the Sunken Rd. The feeling you get is totally amazing to know the fear of the men who fought there.
My great great great grandfather Corporal Richard Pierce Co B 27th North Carolina Infantry fought there December 13th 1862
So you are the descendant of a garbage human who fought to keep others enslaved? I sure would not admit to that.
As a native Fredericksburger, one of my favorite things about living there was being among so much history.
@@nunyabuziness8421 I don't think there's another name for it. 😅
Now at night 😢 wow 😮
Very sad history 🫣😥
I agree. I lived in Stafford for about a year and I loved the feel of the place. There is a section of Fredericksburg thats practically a museum.

This is fantastic! The way the 1860's photo carpet lays out as you walk is so impressive and effective in understanding the layout. Thanks so much!
Brilliantly done with the vintage photos superimposed over the top of today's site. Wow!

Did that tour with my late friend, and historian, in early fall of 2002. Epic.
Why was he crying?

@@wmjohns881 So they were traitors and they fought to keep slavery legal? Good to know
🤣😂
Just like chris said, i always thought that photo was from dec 1862. Wow. Top notch job chris
Reflect on this battle when thinking you're having a bad day.
What a video! Really brought that battle home.
depends which side of the battle you were on if you were having a good day or not (or if you got hit or not)
Thanks you, Kris. A wonderful analysis of the Russell photo and surrounding area and the use of VR. I grew up on Hanover Street nearby and still live nearby to walk this road. The Union cemetery above the Sunken Road is a wonderful retreat and remembrance from our time.
Excellent explanation of the battles of Fredericksburg, focusing on the Sunken Road.
And I never knew there was a second battle at Fredericksburg. Outstanding presentation, thank you!
Just an amazing photo. Through it, You are able to give us a sense of what the fighting must have been like for soldiers on both sides at the sunken road, of Marye's Heights! Thank you!
Great job - extremely informative video! The side-by-side with the old photo and present day helps put it all in perspective!
I agree. That side by side visualization was really good.
I watch a lot of UA-cam and this is one of the coolest videos I've seen on here for a while, well done, that was awesome.
More of these then and now please!!
So amazing the use of a real photograph over the actual site!

I love then and nows and this is the best use of it yet. Great job, looking forward to more
It’s always moving walking that area.
Read a book on letters from the civil war soldiers while sitting in that cemetery, real moving
I love the visualization! Thank you for that great work! I read all the books, starting with the venerable Time/Life series on the Civil War, but none of it gave me that visceral sense of what the battlefields were really like.

Magnificent history telling. Thank you.
Outstanding work, guys. Really appreciate the work that goes into these.
Ditto! And feel better man. GA
Thanks to this vid, I learned so much more about Fredericksburg, not just the battles, but the city, too & why it was so important
What an amazing story! Thank you for sharing this video with us!
Absolutely amazing. THANKYOU for sharing this with those of us for whom these civil war era photographs are drenched with meaning.
Thank you Kris . Great documentary on the sunken road!
💯👍👊
Wonderful job, Kris! You and the ABT have taken us back to that very day. What a tragedy for all those young men and the nation.
I have read that rifles, and hats, were often staged in photographs. Anyone else remember reading that? I think it was done by Matthew Brady & Co at Gettysburg, but may have been employed by photographers of the day in other venues.
You are absolutely correct, even corpses were posed. I believe my source for that was William A. Frassanito.
Outstanding
Fascinating. When I go to places like this, I think of Arlington and the signs that simply say "RESPECT."
This is AWESOME. Do more of these!!! You folks are terrific.
So, so, good, the presentation of the "then & now" photos, the narration, both excellent & thank you for posting!🇺🇸
Well done, great job of bringing attention to the details and giving the viewer a better understanding of what occured there.
I am Canadian and appreciate history. Regarding American Civil War history, in terms of research and presentation, it is unsurpassed in its quality.
Love how you present this information.
Such a brilliant video! Thank you!
This is a stunning presentation of just what happened and where. Stellar!
AWESOME VIDEO KRIS!!!
Extraordinarily well done. Thank you!
this is incredible...i have seen this photo many times over the years but bringing it to life in 3D brings this in a perspective i wasn't expecting....no longer just a distant impersonal photo...it's now an immersive first person perspective and experience....it seems as if the battle had just ended.
Great special effects. Your videos keep getting better.
Bravo! Thank you!
I’ve lived here in The Burg for 24+ years and have been to Sunken Road many times. This is the first time I’ve seen these photos!
