I knew General Barlow's grandson in the 1980's, Col Keith Barlow, commander of the 506th in Vietnam. He was one of the greatest leaders I ever met
Col. Barlow was the grandson of WWII hero, General Ernest Barlow. Col. Barlow’s grandfather in the Civil War was Private William Rufus Barlow of the 18th NC. He was captured at Spotsylvania Courthouse and later died as a POW at Elmira. Doesn’t appear to be related to General Francis Barlow.
I was born and raised in Michigan and have been to Gettysburg several times. I'm Retired now and living in Jomtien, Thailand.
My GGG grandfather was with the 4th Ga under Dole. He survived the war and became a Dr. His brother would be wounded at Gettysburg, captured at Hagerstown, and sent to Old Capital Prison in DC. He is buried in the Confederate section of Arlington Cemetery.
Hi peter from melbourne australia , the videos are great to help put the battlefields size into context , ( the distance from the town to barlows knoll ,oak Hill) I'll get there one day !
I'm really enjoying this format of videos where Garry and the rest of the amazing ABT team are walking the field and talking about it as they go. I'm a longtime battlefield walker; I don't think I'll be able to get to Gettysburg this year so I'm grateful for this virtual fix. And I work in TV engineering so I understand the limitations you're faced with trying to livestream from the field and I salute you for your efforts to overcome technical problems.
Good review on this July 1 2024.
To tell you the truth, as a Canadian Civil War buff, I almost forgot.
Been down to Gettysburg and Antietam especially so many times they were my 'second home' away from home and hold personal feelings I do not share with others.
History should never be forgotten to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Like right now in fact!
All the best watched right to the end.
Maybe Lee will win this year. But I say that about the Toronto Maple Leafs since the 1960's. And no such luck.
I get so antsy this time of the year. Wish I was there. Love you guys….. grama Sue. 3rd Wi infantry, and 1st Wi heavy artillery
I hope you are there this weekend, Garry. I would love to meet you. We take our annual vacation to Gettysburg and there's always something new to learn! Incidentally, the battlefield area that needs saved right now is near Manassas. I don't know how that can be happening.
It's happening because of money. It's that simple. They don't care about history but the dollar.
I read that Howard was told by the cavalry screen that the Confederates were coming in on the right, but he was on Cemetery Hill at that point. Supposedly, Barlow didn’t have that information. But who knows.
I always enjoy Kris White's contributions.
Thank you 👍
Great content. Massachusetts
Greetings from San Antonio, Texas!
Great job as always. I was especially excited by the mention of the 82nd Ohio. My great great grandfather was in that unit and lost his arm on that spot. Thanks.
Great video! The 153rd PA was all from Northampton County, by the way.
Amazing as always. Amazed at the continuing knowledge and bits of history you continue to talk about. Thanks 😊
First timer... thank you guys. Next family vacation will be in the G Burg.
Dilger's battery was one of the finest artillery units in the Army of the Potomac!
thank you Gary! ive watched the last few years!
Great videos this year despite signal problems. Really enjoyed the coverage. Has’nt Kris got a phenomenal memory for the names and regiments etc. 🇬🇧
Excellent job
Thank you for all you do !!!
You are awesome Gary ! So enjoy your presentations
My 2nd Great grand-uncle was in the 153rd PA at Gettysburg.
Watching these each year and learning/understanding more each time😮. Hey, from NC!
Great job!! 👍🏻😁
Bless you guys! My great grandpa was w.s. terry co. I 57th nc troops . 4 brothers stephen o., John scott Samuel pegram and James Francis marion terry, all co. K 19th nc troops ( 2nd nc. Cavalry)
I just love Gary. He said the Union were like "whoa, hey, I didn't do it". 😆😆😆😆
Superb video. Quick question, the Batchelder Map shows the 17th Conn isolated and positioned in front of the Harrisburg Road Bridge over Rock Creek. Could this have been a strategic choke point for Early’snDivision coming down the road, if they were supported better, or was it an impossible situation? Mick - London.
Good question! I think that’s one to explore on your own. All we can do is speculate.
@@AmericanBattlefieldTrust Tim Smith covers it in his excellent Sunday Lecture on Rock Creek from 11 Jan 2022, held in the Addressing Gettysburg podcast archive. The bridge would probably have been taken out and the crossing defended better with the benefit of hindsight, especially as the creek was much deeper in 1863 than it is today. Union forces were clearly struggling by the time the Rebels came down the Harrisburg Road and had their hands full. (Tim has produced some brilliant Sunday lectures over the years, held in the AG archive, which are both entertaining and informative….he should have his own TV series). Cheers. Mick, London.
Outstanding content!
Berwick Pa nice job gentlemen! I love your work!
Florida!
GREAT SHOW AS USUAL! ❤
If you brag on and build up your enemies, when you defeat them, it makes you look better.
Great video Garry such a nice guys Chris and Sarah so awesome!! Schnecksville pa
Agreed, lotsa unfair armchair criticism of Day 1 generals, colonels, and actions. Except for Barlow (#AskHalleck). The whole day was but one big delaying action - and in that they succeeded. Btw loved Kris' descriptor of Rock Creek = "The Moat of Gettysburg"
Y'all rock 👍👍! Don't forget to check for ticks! Found one on the back of my neck there last week while strolling the no-man's land between the top of Plum Run and lower Cemetery Ridge
I really enjoy your civil war videos, you all do a great job. Thank you
Rodes should be played by Ryan Reynolds in the movie!

Artillery God and adopted Ohioan.
Great video guys ! 😎👍
Odd that the flag pole was empty - no colors flying.
Barlow was Sickles..before Sickles..but regardless, no one could have stayed there long
Well, he said McPherson incorrectly. He did not correct that. Remember, there’s no fear.
