    Correction at 21:45 it’s not Barnwell, it’s Brownell.

    Great tour. No stupid jump cuts/splicing, annoying distracting background music, or fancy features. Just the history and information. Thank you.

    Great video. I didn’t realize just how close the artillery was to each other. Whether it was a compliment or insult the fact that Jackson was there on horseback within that distance of enemy artillery shows he wasn’t afraid of a fight.

      Yeah the range of the fight was surprising. I agree it was a compliment as well. It was a really neat battlefield.

    My Great grand uncle was Private Christopher Hussey, Co B, 27th Va Infantry of the 1st Va infantry brigade, a native of Co. Westmeath, Ireland who joined the confederate forces while living at Covington, VA in May 1861. He fought with the Stonewall brigade up until June of 1863 when he died at the time of 2nd Winchester, June 14th. He died of heart disease and was only in his mid 30's. He may have fought in up to 15 engagements in those 2 years. His brother Patrick Hussey (1829-1893) back in Ireland was my great grandfather. Christopher had come to Virginia to work on the railways in around 1853 and worked and lived with other Irish labourers and fought along side some of them in this famous brigade. Christopher was one of the ones who stood firm and didn't desert. I am proud of his service.

    Always amazes me that people came to watch like it was a picnic, and can't think that Sherman could imagine (or maybe he could), still being just a Colonel, that eventually Johnston would be surrendering to him someday.

    • @ProjectPast1565

      Those are very valid observations. Crazy to think of the innocence of people at that time. They had no clue what was in store.

    Bit of trivia: James Cameron, Colonel of the 79th New York, was the brother of President Lincoln's Secretary of War.

      Interesting. I knew of Cameron, but didn’t know his relation to the Secretary of War. Love learning new things.

    I've always referred to this battle as Manassas and never Bull Run. Same with Antietam and Stones River. Some names just sound better than others. Or perhaps we're just so accustomed to them.
