Huzzah to the 1st MN Battery under Emil Munch!!! They were also engaged in Corinth, Vicksburg, and Sherman Atlanta Campaign till end of the war. Recruits came from an area not far from my hometown in MN. One of the cities was New Ulm which is home also to the New Ulm Battery, the longest active militia battery still in service. Formed in 1863 in defense after the 1862 Sioux Uprising. I had the distinction of serving with the battery for a number of years when I was younger. Thanks always to Garry, Chris and Kris and all the wonderful guests you had on your trip!
“Creating better citizens in the meantime.” Well said. The general state of decay in our country is directly related to a lack of knowledge of our history among the average American. I appreciate what y’all do. Incidentally, my 2nd Great Grandfather, John Henry Coker, and his brother Albert both fought at Shiloh in the 3rd Mississippi Battalion under Aaron B. Hardcastle. I take friends and family there every spring and we walk in his footsteps as we follow the route of Wood’s brigade through the battle. Thanks again!
I was there in 2014 on a Leger tour and Larry Magnus was our Shiloh tour guide. He was then running the Corinth chapter SONS OF THE CONFEDERACY anybody know or he his still around .
does anyone know what the plans are for overgrown fields on the battlefield (such as Lost Field, which is completely wooded now)? will they ever clear those fields and restore field dimensions (such as the southern portion of Rhea Field)?
Thank you for a wonderful time watching...and good to see Woody Allen working again...though that's not a moral endorsement...just a smart arsed observation 😐

Thank you: I've never had the foggiest understanding of any battle until I saw the battlefield.
Fascinating as the battle unfolds.
Watching them all...
good to see Parker Hills and Tim Smith, two guys who have given me tours 20 years ago.

Just left Shiloh. Thanks for all you do.👍
Great work. I've learned a lot about a battle I thought I knew a good deal about
And thats how we get good and pass along the correct history to those interested coming along after us! Never stop learning!
WOW What a story!
These large maps are golden.
Im enjoying these videos, great work,keep them coming!
You're a great guy, Gary. Fantastic work! :)
Well explained and justified great job
Another great vid guys!
Love this channel
I'm sure those battlefields can transcend your mind to another place in time....
At 8:00 - These were the same reasons that it was so vital to restore the battlefield at Gettysburg with tree removal, building removal, etc.
geografia influences history! what a importance!

It would be nice if you invested into body microphones so that we can understand what is being said off-camera.
Another good reason to purchase more acres is to create a larger buffer against development.
Relief, thought you had lost your hat cord Gary!
How did the Confederates know the significance of Pittsburg Landing?
Starting a video with this much dead time is a terrible idea. I thought my phone wasn't playing it.....
I love these videos but I find it gets boring with all the maps. I rather see the place where the battle was than the map.
