Oh...and I will add that Matt is essentially a National Treasure. If you are fortunate enough to catch one of his tours, it will be something to remember for a lifetime. National Geo. or one of the other networks really need to create a program featuring Matt after he retires. I could see him becoming a celebrity like Guy Fieri or the likes.
Hi ..I had the pleasure of coming to the states ,and doing the civil war tour a few years ago.and I have to say, I loved every minute...can't wait to come back....love to all..from the uk
I thought I knew a lot about the battle, after watching the videos, nope, I knew very little. Thank you for the education. In order to preserve the battlefields, education must be a priority. Well Done!
Sadly, Mr. Bendl, much of Civil War history has been nearly and literally obliterated from the public high school system nationwide nowadays.😔 It's tantamount to a tragedy, sir. Youngsters in this day and age are vastly ignorant of our nation's history by and large. It's disgraceful
I've been studying Gettysburg for 25 years... and only now after walking every inch of that battlefield do I feel like I'm even beginning to comprehend the entire action.
I live in West Virginia and I have heard stories about WV stole a STAR from one flag to put it on their flag making it the only flag on the battlefield with the correct amount of stars on it. I would love to see a video of the history of WV soldiers at Gettysburg. Thank You!!!!
Nothing brings you closer to understanding the human cost than seeing the actual bullet that struck a soldier or seeing them buried in a fence post. Amazing, amazing artifacts! And thank you, Chris, for teaching more about how they work and how they were used.
Gettysburg, Garry, Matt, Kris, Doug, Dave and his artifacts, and I mean artifacts that are crazy incredible and Anne who makes these things so very personal...it doesn't get better!
I am in awe of all of you. Thank you for the insight and energy you have conveyed about these brave men who suffered in this battle. You honor them for their sacrifice and bravery. Semper Fi!
It's so good to see history respected and portrayed objectively instead of apologized for and at risk of being forgotten. Keep it up and spread the love.
This discussion sure explains how mixed up the various units of the Union are ended up to plug the holes. Can you imagine the insanity of trying to sort all that out after the fighting? Also gives a small thought about why Mead didn’t chase Lee right away.
Thats where my great great grandpa and his 4 sons my great great uncles were and fought in the 53rd Penn infantry.. they were in the 7:00 to 8:30pm 🕣 fight.
215 lives and five minutes greatly help win the battle. Just like 2 marines and 6 seconds stopped a truck bomb in our generation. Sacrifice has no known measure as you know sir. I fear that Only those who have seen combat understand what you are attempting to illustrate here. Thank you all for these lectures gentlemen. I will soon be able to tour battle field to battle field as I have wanted to do for so very long. Until then I have these to watch.
Great presentation! Another of MANY what IFs. So many lost opportunities on the southern side those 3 days but then again the Army of the Potomac wasn't just throwing spitballs either.
A look at the series of O'Sullivan photos of the various companies of the 93rd New York Infantry at Bealeton, VA (Library of Congress)you can see the variety of buckles worn by enlisted men, NCOs and officers including oval US, oval SNY, and several rectangular "NY". The Bealeton images are post Gettysburg but the variety of uniforms, etc. gives a good idea what many of the New York units may have looked like at Gettysburg.
With all the diaries and letters left behind during the civil war I don't remember seeing any of their writing instruments. I think that would be interesting?
The Maynard priming system was short lived. The 1861 Springfield musket was not equipped with it. Various accounts state it was fragile and unpredictable. I speculate it was an expense of manufacture that was deemed unnecessary.
I always like to have an example or two of how not boring historians, particularly civil war historians are. All those gasps and wows etc when those artifacts were coming out? Yeah, this will be my new top example video. And I was ohh-ing and ahh-ing right along with everybody.
My great great great uncle Captain Wesley Mellard Co H 13th Mississippi Infantry Barksdales brigade fought at the Peach Orchard at Gettysburg July 2 1863
262 v 2000…5 minutes at the cost of 215 men and they men knew what they were in for. A 3 year regiment that had fought since Bull Run. Bled white at Antietam. Yet they still pushed on and the survivors would return to counterattack Pickett’s Charge the next day. Still an incredible story. Their regimental flag still stands in the Minnesota State Capital. The 1st Minnesota is a phenomenal story in itself.
Didn't expect to hear Calvary Cemetery in Queens mentioned here! It's a really beautiful cemetery with an incredible view of the Manhattan skyline, if you're the kind of person that enjoys cemetery tourism.
Wish you would have covered the dead Union soldiers photo and location that Farrozino was unable to locate. But the location was recently discovered forward of Sickle's positions at the Peach Orchard, as the Regiment had been sent forward on a recon in force and walked right into McClaw's attack.
Love your program I’ve learned so much that really wish when you show artifacts that they wear white gloves to keep the oils from your skin from destroying the artifact other than that you guys are amazing
Wilcox''s success is why Lee attacked the center on day 3. Wright's men actually seized Cemetery Ridge but were not supported by the rest of Anderson's division. Wilcox''s men claim that they made the deepest penetration of the Union center than Pickett's attack. But Wilcox''s success is what made Lee think he would attack the Union center and have the success Wright's Brigade had.
That tree line and road in the thumbnail looks a whole lot like the “Harvest of Death” photo, and makes sense given Gardner’s other photos in the area.

I love seeing Atkinson and ABT in collaboration on video!!
Matt Atkinson is absolutely my favorite storyteller in the country
I think everyone has seen Matt's presentation about Warren, "Uncle" Dan Sickles, and Devil's Den.
Oh...and I will add that Matt is essentially a National Treasure. If you are fortunate enough to catch one of his tours, it will be something to remember for a lifetime. National Geo. or one of the other networks really need to create a program featuring Matt after he retires. I could see him becoming a celebrity like Guy Fieri or the likes.
I really like his Devil's Den narrative a bunch👌😊
@@CRuf-qw4yv That's the best👍
Wow, I just came across this video of the DREAM TEAM! Matt, Doug Gary and Kris!!!!
This guy's fantastic, it all makes sense!!!
Wow!! Dan's Sickles promotion Docs!! Way ahead 😎 cool!!!
Fascinating explanation of the functions and features of the gun by Kris (especially the details about the bands).
I love Gettysburg can not wait to move there. I miss it
Seven months later and these presentations seem even better! I am looking forward to next month and hope to see you all again! Cheers!
FANTASTIC job guys!
Great video, thank you. Great insight, great artifacts, great passion.
Thank you for sharing this History! I love it!

Great work, Guys! Thank you!!
Matt makes history fun , I love his passion for history
This must be supported. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing this info, the artifacts, the stories, and everything around this fight. Really incredible stuff!
I really enjoy listening to the history, but in particular listening to Matt Atkinson talk about it….It’s electrifying!!
Garry, you guys do such great work preserving our Civil War history !! Please do something to protect Malvern Hill !
It is stunning how vast the Gettysburg Battlefield is.
Stunning video, I can't imagine what that most have been like on the field the day of the battle but this helps a lot.
That fence post was AMAZING!! That number of bullets was happening all along that road with many going through brave Confederate soldiers !!
These videos are so good
I live in West Virginia and I have heard stories about WV stole a STAR from one flag to put it on their flag making it the only flag on the battlefield with the correct amount of stars on it. I would love to see a video of the history of WV soldiers at Gettysburg. Thank You!!!!
The artifacts and story’s behind them were amazing 🙏
Really enjoyed the artifacts of these soldiers, the Confederate officer sword is beautiful....thanks for sharing all of these veterans
Always enlightening ... I love the personal stories of the soldiers .... kudos to Gary and the whole crew
Exceptional! Thank you
My family wants to know why I'm getting so excited by this video. My response was, imagine watching the Avengers and Iron Man (Matt) just showed up!
Nothing brings you closer to understanding the human cost than seeing the actual bullet that struck a soldier or seeing them buried in a fence post. Amazing, amazing artifacts!
And thank you, Chris, for teaching more about how they work and how they were used.
Atkinson is fantastic
Gettysburg, Garry, Matt, Kris, Doug, Dave and his artifacts, and I mean artifacts that are crazy incredible and Anne who makes these things so very personal...it doesn't get better!
The artifacts and stories are so intriguing. Wow!
"Tell me what I've missed." Great leader in action!
Gary, Matt, and Kris...that's a bunch of civil war knowledge
Thank you for Matt again. Haven’t seen much of him lately. So glad to have him back.😁👍
I am in awe of all of you. Thank you for the insight and energy you have conveyed about these brave men who suffered in this battle. You honor them for their sacrifice and bravery. Semper Fi!
Kinda like the monuments they are tearing down huh?
Wow this was just outstanding! Garry and Matt! WOW! Ant the artifacts shown just brings it all home.
I love the way Gary does these videos. Never stop please.
This is one of the BEST presentations. Great work Garry, you and your team keep it up ! God Bless !
Binge watching. WTG. Thanks all
As an avid fan of the American Civil War, the relics that Mr. David Malgee owns makes the stories that are told almost come to life in my perceptions.
It's so good to see history respected and portrayed objectively instead of apologized for and at risk of being forgotten. Keep it up and spread the love.
So good to see Matt. He's done some great videos for the NPS. Keep up the good important work.
No doubt, Mr. Brown👍 Matt Atkinson's The Man
Awesome account ! ty all.
Great video! Love the passion of keeping this history alive.
Great job, as always, folks! The artifacts are awesome--and terribly sad.
Gary and Matt on the same part of the battlefield. That is a lot of pent up energy.
Amazing artifacts and history. Thank you
ABT......all I can say is....WOW!
This is awesome!!!
I'm a simple man. I see Ranger Matt's name and Gary I click.
Same here, dude👍

Wow, this is fantastic. Great presentation. Fun to see the enthusiasm in telling the story from y'all. I didn't know any of this. Yay Minnesota!
This is why I am a proud member of the battlefield trust!! Truly great stuff that gets better and better every new presentation.
GREAT informative videos, as ALWAYS, but the artifacts are such a great addition. Truly brings the battle to life. Well done.
Awesome job everyone 👏👏
Really love the artifacts
Great stuff! Thanks so much for your passionate presentation of these historic bygone days
You bring the A team to the field this is the quality you expect. Great job to all involved.

Wish I was there, I'd be chilling and listening
Absolutely an awesome video with great great artifacts and history !!!!

Fantastic video, nice job by all.
Gary is so enthusiastic, it’s contagious. He must eat a balanced breakfast every morning to keep that kind of energy!
Very impressive material, as usual! Thanks for all your hard work.
Very good vedio
Great stuff again, guys
Great presentation! Another of MANY what IFs. So many lost opportunities on the southern side those 3 days but then again the Army of the Potomac wasn't just throwing spitballs either.
Thank you very much for mentioning the 1st Minnesota. The most overlooked regiment of the entire Civil War.
I have been reading every book I can find on the New Jersey regiment that fought at Gettysburg. I have taken photos of all the New Jersey monuments
A look at the series of O'Sullivan photos of the various companies of the 93rd New York Infantry at Bealeton, VA (Library of Congress)you can see the variety of buckles worn by enlisted men, NCOs and officers including oval US, oval SNY, and several rectangular "NY".

Excellent! Nice to see y'all working together!
Study more history!
I only want to hear Matt,,, he's the BEST!
That fence post!!! Awesome!!!
Amazing video!!

Yes!
How cool to be able to handle artifacts associated with the battle in the area where they were used / lost / found.
My great great great uncle Captain Wesley Mellard Co H 13th Mississippi Infantry Barksdales brigade fought at the Peach Orchard at Gettysburg July 2 1863

Man if Corporal Kelly's rifle could talk. I bet that thing sent a bunch of Union men to the promise land.
OK, I see what looks like a corn crib slanting off of the barn
When will there be some new Matt Atkinson 'stuff' with the StuffWriter? 😉😊
Didn't expect to hear Calvary Cemetery in Queens mentioned here! It's a really beautiful cemetery with an incredible view of the Manhattan skyline, if you're the kind of person that enjoys cemetery tourism.
Happy 4th! Merica!!! Always remember!!

More Matt Atkinson! 😁
Garry reminds me of one of those tall flailing arm Tube Man balloons you so often see in front of those car sales lots.....lol
I’d love to see an explanation of the lesser known charge that happened at the same time as 2nd mass.
(The 22nd Maine)
Love your program I’ve learned so much that really wish when you show artifacts that they wear white gloves to keep the oils from your skin from destroying the artifact other than that you guys are amazing
Wilcox''s success is why Lee attacked the center on day 3. Wright's men actually seized Cemetery Ridge but were not supported by the rest of Anderson's division.

But Wilcox''s success is what made Lee think he would attack the Union center and have the success Wright's Brigade had.
If both of you guys could time travel back to first of battle and have 5 minutes with both Lee and Meade, what would you say knowing what you know?
“What’s your life worth?” What’s your Constitution worth? Remembering part of the price paid. 🇺🇸
That tree line and road in the thumbnail looks a whole lot like the “Harvest of Death” photo, and makes sense given Gardner’s other photos in the area.
You guys are amazing, was that rifle from horse solider ?
Peach orchard is very interesting. But the peach orchard has been overshadowed by the wheat field and culps hill. As well as pickets charge
the artifacts are incredible. wow
