Matt Atkinson the GOAT 5-Stars
Hey stuffwriter. Thank you very much for this work. So many of us have throughly enjoyed the product of your efforts.
Stuff writer is back with Matt the dynamic duo!
Great!! Was looking forward to a new lecture video. Matt is my favorite, keeps it fun. Before you know it you leaned something.
Great to see you back stuffwriter, the go to guy for gettysburg videos
Matt, i was a sergeant major instructor for over 20yrs and have givern hundreds of lectures in my days. I have watched your lectures for a number of years now and not one of your lectures have been the same. With out a dout you are the most enjoyable person i have watched and listern to. Your method of instruction is top class. For my years i recieved the British empire medal. I think its about time someone presented you with an award. Keep up the good work mate. Uk Veteran
For Matt, it is enough being a rock star.
Dang StuffWriter, been wondering where you went haha Thanks for the work and effort you all put in for us.
Matt the Legend Atkinson the most enjoyable Civil War lectures I have ever found on some of the most obscure and interesting characters that many other historians tend to skip or gloss over to a certain degree. No not Ranger Matt who I feel enjoys the more obscure figures of the Civil War as much as the ones that everyone talks about....Grant, Lee, Davis, Jackson. also just to awnser your engaging question near the end of your presentation ....I came for the Glory, but I stayed for the Scandal. The entire presentation was enthralling as usual but his secret familys and affairs well they were legendary and scandalous in any time. If only we could know everything that actually happened but you do a great job filling in those empty spaces with your studious and dedicated work well done sir, Well done indeed.
On July 4 (7/4), 1863, the Battle of Gettysburg was over. A hard rain began later in the day that lasted for days and Gen. Lee began a very organized retreat back to Northern Virginia. Also on 7/4, Vicksburg surrendered to Gen. Grant after a 47-day siege. And on that afternoon, President Abraham Lincoln gave an Independence Day speech from the White House balcony where he said, "Eighty odd years since, upon the Fourth day of July".
In writing his Gettysburg Address, 'Father Abraham' realized he could say, "4 score and 7 years ago, our fathers" as a reference to going back 87 years to 7/4/1776 and as a reference to Genasis 16:16 when "Abram (Abraham) was 4 score and 6 years old when the slave girl Hagar gave birth to Ishmael ('Is he male?')". This is the first use of "score" in the King James Bible.
Besides Gen 16:16, Lincoln was the 16th p(16)resident at 1600 Pennsylvania Av. President Andrew Johnson declared the Civil War officially over 16 months after Lee surrendered. Abraham Lincoln II - the only grandson of the 16th president - died at age 16. He and his father Robert Todd Lincoln are entombed in Arlington National Cemetery - the former Lee-Custis Plantation.
This is part of Seal #2: GOD=7_4 or FOD=6_4 (on Planet Nestor); see 7seals.blogspot.com . Only the returned Christ, Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln, and Albert Einstein reincarnated could produce this. This fulfillment of the prophecy of Rev 5:1 has triggered The Apocalypse/Revelation which is not the 'end of the world' - it's the 2nd Coming.
Thanks for sharing! And thank you to Matt for another great presentation!
Always happy to see Stufferiter back with videos.
Hope your doing well Matt with the situation with the national parks .
Nothing like listening to Matt while down here in Mississippi
I love Matt’s lectures, I can’t wait until I can go back to Gettysburg and do one of his field tours.
As for the body looking preserved after thirty years, discounting poetic license he may have been embalmed with arsenic. I read of a grave robbery in Tennessee where the body was left out and during an examination the doctor thought the guy had been dead a year when in fact he had died in the 1860s and embalmed with arsenic and then buried in a metal coffin.
Always time for another ranger Matt lecture
van Dorn was 5'5"!! Makes the account of the saber confrontation with N.B. Forrest (6'2") all the more amazing. Honey Badger vs Lion
I was just driving through holly springs Mississippi, and down through abbeville and oxford Mississippi while listening to the part about Van Dorns holly springs raid.
Aniston always makes me smile when I hear of that town. One of my favorite artists is from there though he offended someone and got run out on a rail. He had a few ancestors who fought too.
Answer: Matt Atkinson.
Question: Whom would I seek to emulate if I were a NPS Ranger.
I miss these lectures on the gettysburg youtube channel
23K views but only 367 thumbs up??? Come on folks!! It helps a lot to "like" these videos
Without looking: Gustavus V. Smith was Johnston's senior corps commander at the time of Seven Pines. After Joe's wounding, GVS was placed in command but very soon became literally paralyzed (burden of command?) then on 6/1/62 was replaced by Lee and henceforth was called the Army of Northern Virginia.
Ranger Matt Atkinson……..right there.
Love Matt he’s great
Woo hoo! I greet you @StuffWriter! So glad that you were able to get to the park and record this!
Great upload to watch. Thank you!
Nice profile picture!
@@CatherineLee3000 Thanks! Sherman & Forrest have always been my favorites to learn about. 👍
I’m sorry for your loss
Yayyyyy, missed your uploads
Good stuff!! Love listening!!
Excellent
great lecture
I miss Matt’s battle walks and lectures. Stuffwriter is Tge best
Did he quit?
Wonderful
Van Dorn was a cavalryman descended from diminished European royalty. As Joachim Murat was said to have engraved on his sword: " For Glory and Girls."
@Moose Watcher123 Yes, that's fair.
It's amazing that the best ranger in the NPS was rejected multiple times.
James They almost passed on a gem in Ranger Atkinson. He once told me that his first posting was at Petersburg! I’d had no idea until he mentioned a reference to a local place and about made me lose it. I live very near Petersburg.
Shame that to be in Congress or the Senate you only have to be 25 or 30 and not even born in the country. The NPS is more discerning because Matt eventually DID get hired and he's still working.
Clearly, Van Dorn failed to reconnoiter the room.
Were they steel or stone arrows?
Forrest vs. Van Dorn = Patton vs. Monty😆😆
Officer in charge
YOUR BUDDY WAS A GOOD GUY .....LUCKY FRIEND .....
Odd remark about his former father in law !! However as he commented “ every good deed is punished “. This Van Dorn was a real Lothario . Playing the field and was killed
But, He was a military Officer that should be studied at West Point.
YOU DONT MOW ANOTHER MANS LAWN!!
What else did he think would happen?
Earl Van Dorn should have stuck with bedding the widows of Confederate war dead.
Van Dorn was also very ill during the Pea Ridge Campaign.
Probably had syphilis.
As I recall reading, Van Dorn was so ill that he entered the battle in the back of a wagon with Sterling Price's contingent. At the next day's rout, he and Price fled on horseback, abandoning their troops. Thereafter, Van Dorn was mocked as "Damn Dorn" by his his own men.
Did Matt say, "He considered going."? Lol
September 17th
First critical thinker
Earl Van Doreen was a Dandy, He had all the the right stuff very loud in life He had so much. I’m sorry His star had to burn out way too quick., out of control hormones will and can end a star early.
It is my opinion that N. Bedford Forrest one of the Greatest leader Commanders in all of world history, this was an Alpha male extraordinare.
If you limit that to cavalry brigade commanders I'll agree.
A pure badass MFer.

Andrew Jackson
Information oic
VAN DORN'S GREAT GRANDFATHER FOUNDED NASHVILLE.(JOHN DONELSON) THE ANDREW JACKSON CONNECTION WAS RACHEL DONELSON, HIS WIFE.
1:00:00 17 year old Alice Thompson, comma an amazing Civil War woman I would love to see a story or a video On her. She grabbed the fallen flag and wave it to rally the Arkansas men And then helped with wounded later in the battle
Van Dorn was a mediocre general, losing the Battle of Pea Ridge to a Union army he actually outnumbered. He got what he deserved for shanking another man's happiness and is more remembered for the shanking than his generalship.
THE NAPOLEON COMPLEX.
If idiosyncrasy
gee i wonder why the jews cared about contraband
Van Dorn was too ignorant/arrogant to think there were no consequences for having sex with the Dr.'s wife just a few days before the doctor shows up. Van Dorn should have been as nervous as a cat covering up cat dung when the doc shows up.
MY GREAT GRANDFATHER, COL. EDWARD DILLON, CSA, WAS ON VAN DORN'S STAFF AND WAS AT SPRING HILL. HE MARRIED BISHOP GENERAL LEONIDAS POLK'S NIECE, WHO WAS ALSO RELATED TO VAN DORN THROUGH DONELSON FAMILY. HER FATHER, LUCIUS JUNIUS POLK, WAS MARRIED TO MARY ANN EASTIN IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
Your CAPS LOCK key works great. =p
@@LittleLouieLagazza THANKS! IT'S THE NEW VER.2.0
Great group photo of Confederate Generals flying their burial shrouds.
Truth: The United States has gone straight to hell ever since it added the 49th and 50th star to the flag. They need to either join Puerto Rico to the union or give Hawaii back to the natives so we can revive.
The constitution of the united states of America
He’s a damn good soldier
earl cant pack bedford boot's
Van Dorn would not have backed down and agreed to "confess". Doc just took advantage of the familiarity and shot Van Dorn in the back of his grape. Face to face, Van Dorn would have undoubtedly killed the doc.
It would make a great movie!
@@leroyaiken4199 Absolutely. There are many events/stories of the Civil War that are prime for that. Many true events/actions that are more horrid or crazy on their own merit and would need no embellishment. However, I shudder at the " artistic license " that Hollywood takes and being untrue to actual events/people.
'Bout damn time that another Southerner commander be shoved down these modern day yankees & traitors to the South throats!
Never see any proof of what Nathan Bedford Forrest said the Van Dorn.
