Thank you. I am visiting Antietam in mid October. Recently purchased Ohio at Antietam to read in connection with my visit.
Thank you for the content! As someone disabled this may be my best opportunity to view these battlefields. Truly appreciate your efforts and the content from the knowledgeable rangers.
We must not let it go unnoticed how articulate and descriptive the men of both sides were in these accounts. Our modern system of education that produced men of such outstanding, orderly speech has largely converted to guttural, nearly inarticulate expressions! God help us to regain excellence in teaching our young people how to speak and write with excellence.
Very true
I plan on going to Antietam in June next year...I am pumped to visit again...thank you!
I visited Antietam 4 years ago with my son, who was 14 at the time. Because I knew my son's attention span was a bit short at that time in his life, I chose a shorter and private tour. We had an absolutely FABULOUS tour guide. He was an older gentleman, probably retired, but had even written a book about A.P. Hill. He was so unbelievably knowledgeable about every aspect of this battle and battlefield and made the tour so interesting and "real" for myself and my son...we both loved every minute of it. I can't say enough about positive things about this guide. I wish I could remember his name but, at the moment, I'm struggling to remember. I'm not sure if he's still there but if you ask for the guide who wrote a book about A.P. Hill, I'm sure the people who work there will know who he is. He was FANTASTIC.
Beautiful landscapes here, at Gettysburg as well.
Thank you StuffWriter. Perfect timing for weekend viewing.
Watched all 6 1/2 hours. Fantastic presentations by everyone! Couldn't help but learn a few more things about what I thought I already knew. Thank you so much!!
Awesome, thanks!
Thank you for showing this on your channel. I really appreciate the chance to learn more about the Civil War through presentations like this. The National Park Service does a great job bringing it down to a personal level of the individual solider.
I'm only seven minutes in but I can tell this single video will take me far. I've visited and learned about the Battle of Gettysburg for years now, and your recordings of battlefield walks have helped to deepen my understanding and appreciation of that battle. But for me, my knowledge about the American Civil war in terms of the battles fought is limited to Gettysburg. I've always wanted to learn about other battles and campaigns of the ACW, and I think this might help do the trick. So thank you StuffWriter for all that you do.
I'd recommend to you Shelby Foote's Civil War trilogy as a good overview of the entire war written more the less for "amateur" buffs. For McClellan's peninsula campaign, Antietam, Chancellorsville and Gettysburg I've always enjoyed reading Stephen Sears books. You'll get both ayes and nays from other readers about those recommendations, but I've always been pleased with them, especially Foote's and Sears' Landscape Turned Red (Antietam) and Gettysburg.
Totally agree. I have read books and visited the battlefields, but the Tour walks place on youtube gives you so much more clarity of what happened during the battles.
Thank you for this video , what a marvelous tour !
Masterful presentation. Can easily see this is a very experienced Park Ranger on the Maryland campaign who also has done his homework. Ranger Keith Snyder am sure had a hand in the overall preparation.
Worst of all like cramming Gettysburg into one terrible day
@Spencer York yes. Fredericksburg and Cold Harbor were slaughter pens as was Spotsylvania.
Yay my second favorite battle after Gettysburg. Thank you 😁
Hey stuff writer, just coming back to this awesome video. Getting toward that time of year again
Wow so cool! Thank you!
And stuffwriter you 're stuff takes a long time to view, but in that you're the best. Love you're work. Don't understand there not more viewers. Great fan!
Fantastic video. Bye from Italy 🇮🇹👍
Keep up the great work man. These keep getting better and better
~Civil War~ battles were often chaotic. It was not unheard of to be shot at by "Friendly Fire". This generally upset the ones being shot at making sitting around the campfire that night uncomfortable. -Bill Howes, Civil War (War of The Rebellion) historian.
Thank you for creating this video and sharing your knowledge of one of the most important wars the USA has ever seen.
Thank you Stuffwriter!
This is a great channel.
Thank you, StuffWriter! Please keep these coming!!!
Thank you for sharing! I wish I could have been there, thanks to you, I am there!👍🏻
I guess it's good Miller did not plant cabbage that year, "corn field" has more of a historic sound to it, for sure...
Stuff writer, great as always, I have always enjoyed your content and I thank you for it
Awesome job. Thanks 👍.
The visitors center is still not open, beyond September 2022
I'm planning to come over from Belgium at about july first and next few days 2023. Visiting Gettysburg, south mountain, maybe harpers ferry en sure antietam. Hope building is open then.
Enjoy! You will love it, I am sure
warms the heart to see so many interested in American History,,,,
As I wrote you I had this playing and googled some more about the 59th ovi, just found out literally as I'm watching this, I had a great great uncle who was in the same unit who died on day two of shiloh, was my great great grandfather's brother, and my great great grandfather was wounded the same day.
Jacob Altman, enl. Sept. 30, 1861; died at Point Isabel, Ohio, May 19, 1862, from wounds received at battle of Shiloh.
I saw you at the anniversary all day, and didn't realize you were StuffWriter! I was the guy with the extension pole, recording as well. I'm lazy and haven't uploaded mine yet.
Love your page
I do like these videos they give me the chance to see the places which i never would have the chance to visit.
But some Ranger needs to calm him self an speek slower. Specially the young man around 3h45 min. I find him difficult to listen. He sounds nervous an hasty and i think there no need for that he gives quite a good guide, full of knowledge
Be nice to see a tour walk on Gardner's Photos of the Dead of Antietam. Take people where each of the photos were taken.
Please adjust the camera angle! We see way too much sky and far too little of areas referred to. We don't have to watch the narrator nearly all the time, no offense intended.
Thank you for sharing. Live in Florida and is a Civil War enthusiast. I need to make a visit there sometime. Did you do Gettysburg?
There's another story about the Lost Order not mentioned, in that a South sympathizer was in Mac's tent when the message was delivered and heard Mac's exclamation that with that paper if he couldn't whip Lee he'd go home. This man reportedly hastily delivered the find to Lee. What truth is in that, who knows? However, Shelby Foote uses the story in his Civil War trilogy, book 1, pg. 676. As Mr. Foote doesn't use footnotes in his book (no pun intended!) I don't know where he found the story.
Awesome as usual Stuff Writer! Thank you for these. I watch religiously because of my medical issues so thank you, I mean that.
I did wanna ask you, can you help me find a unit. I'm trying to find where the 59th OVI (Ohio Volunteer Infantry) was on day 2 of Shiloh. I can't find much. That's where my great great grandfather was wounded on day 2.
McClellan fully deserved to have been court martialed and imprisoned for dereliction of duty for his failures in this battle. Had almost any other Union general, even some the mediocre ones like Burnside or Hooker, been in command with that opportunity, the ANV would likely have been utterly annihilated, with the fall of the Confederacy soon after.
Anybody an idea how to arrange a visit to the general area during the 160th anniversary of Gettysburg? With visit to antietam.
Wish you had used a camera monopod
12th GA I've found tons of their stuff!!!!!!!!!!! lol
Just little request, would be nice if you move camera around when he pointed something out
Also I'm sorry you didn't zoom in on pictures
The 6th North Carolina Infantry Regiment aka "The Bloody 6th"..
Thanks for showing smoke town rd NOT
"I understand you were at Antietam, a great and terrible day. " - Name that movie line.
Glory, Governor Curtain to Captain Shaw. Powerful movie.
@@eddiecollison Correct, still to this day may be the best war movie!
@@eddiecollison I believe its Governor Andrew, however yes, great line
@@jasonroberts6080 Yup, I confused him with the Pennsylvania governor at the time, Andrew Curtain.
@@eddiecollison Curtin
Was it the Ancient Aliens that named those continents a billion years ago? Asking for a friend who doesn't study the Civil War very much. Thanks in advance.
I can help you with one. Several thousand years ago 2 Caucasian cavemen were walking across a field, both carrying big walking sticks. They came upon a round rock, and one of the cavemen took a swing at it and knocked it a few hundred feet away. He found another rock, turned to his companion and said, "Europe." Thus both golf was born and a continent named.
@@indy_go_blue6048 And that is why I hang out here. I can always find the answers I'm looking for in this life. Thank you oh wise one.
Anytime l hear the mention of the 15th Mass. Inf. Regiment, l laugh because of my old reenactment unit would galvanize into 15th Mass.from the 15th.Texas.
A slogan on the yankee flag called the unit Lob-stah Eatin' Bah-stards.
Myself, l never galvanized for my great grandfather was a member of the 15th.Texas lnf. Regiment.
I wouldn't disrespect him for that folly of wearing bluebelly threads!
One more, park grounds cut grass in sunken road each time this is done it fills it in I would leave it because back then they didn't cut it also maybe run tractors in it sounds like alot maybe someone else has better ideas
as soon as I saw the ranger that looks like she's 12 start to talk about the plant life, I knew she was going to spend way more time discussing her leftist indoctrination of the fallacy of global warming than the history of the battlefield. she did not disappoint.
Climate change is real.
That is awesome!
Are there any Confederate markers at Antietam? If so, they have to go!😭
@@indy_go_blue6048 Poe's law in full effect on that one lol
Ranger presentations were excellent. Rotating Battle Map.....Worthless and Videographer,I'd give a C- . .....
