I was with the Second Vermont Volunteer Reg't. of Infantry, while she served in the U. S. Sanitary Commision. It was fun going to schools to give in-character presentations to the classes when they studied their Civil War unit.

      I am a believer that it was that engagement that decided the battle. The Union position's strength was also its greatest weakness and Lee's plan was brilliant in this regard. This part of July 3 is almost always overlooked. Stuart's lack of preparedness for an engagement as he advanced, for whatever reason, is just head shakingly shocking to me. Pickett's charge was indeed doomed once Custer sent Stuart in retreat. IMHO your Grandfather played a part in perhaps the most important engagement for the preservation of the Union that day. Respects!

There are still some color positives in France that were the first photos EVER taken, sadly the dyes didn't hold up too well. Even into the mid to late 20th century, B&W was more popular than color for the very same reason.

He was able to crawl under the porch of a house in the battle field where was captured by the yankee troops, bandaged, and was exchanged for confederates later. He went on to fight in every battle after that till the end. Funny thing, he lived only just down the road from Appomattox in Bedford County Virginia.

    In my reading, one thing always impressed me: people today cannot grasp how truly horrible roads were back then. Taking a wagon ten miles in many places was a real days work. They would be ecstatic to experience most of our rush hour traffic, where you don't risk losing a wheel or have to get out and pull.

    Wow! This was really interesting and so well done. I’m not a big proponent of colorization of old cinematography, but you all really brought Gettysburg to life in a way I’ve never seen before.
    Again, Well Done!
    Bravo to you all!

    I'm quite surprised more comments don't address the fact that Gettysburg houses on the battlefield were so "modest" as the narrator puts it. There was just such a HUGE difference in the homes of the rich and the homes of everyone else. My family was very rural up until the 1950s , so I look at some of these modest properties in a slightly different "color".
    That said, I congratulate all the people who were involved in this whole project. Fascinating, as real history always is.

    Why would people get upset about colorization? The world was not black and white during the Civil War or at any time in history. We see color paintings of historical events of the past so why not colorized photos? It is a wonderful thing for the young to see history as it really was.

    My last name is Meade .. My dad looks ALOT like George Gordon Meade . When my siblings and I were kids we used to laugh about it because we would look at a picture of George Meade and say it’s My dad and that he hopped in a time machine .. Every winter break we would drive back to our hometown of NY and on the way always took a picture with the Meade statue.

    My ggf and his brother was with Terry's Texas Rangers. They went through the whole war and survived. The first general election after the war, went to the county seat, walked out of the courthouse. A gun fight broke out in the street and a stray bullet struck the brother and killed him.

    Great stuff! One little known story of Gettysburg was the immediate aftermath and the terrible ordeal for the wounded because both armies marched off-and left little in the way of caring for the thousands of wounded and thousands of bodies rapidly turning in the July sun. Most of the doctors and surgeons had left with the army and left behind only a handful of orderlies, little food, bandages, etc. A Sanitary Commission agent visited, was horrified at what he saw and immediately called for help, so finally weeks after the battle relief swarmed upon the little town.
