Tremendous history, stories, enthusiasm....thank you for keeping this history alive.
you guys get the exclusive "behind the scenes" access to the battlefields and historic sites that the public will never get to experience. I want to be a part of that so badly. Im honestly envious, lol. Thank you all for what you do by bringing this precious history to the world
Everyone is great but the energy Gary brings is on another level.
Thank you Gary & crew.
These people that have studied and learned about the war are national treasures. All of them
I love seeing the photos comparing then and now - Thankyou!
Gary - you are PASSIONATE about the HISTORY and the EDUCATIONAL,
PRESERVATION of what & who was here before us, P.S. try 100 jumping Jack's, before you start filming.
Gary you are the best, of the best! Love the intensity and knowledge.
Lol, I love not only Garys deep knowledge but especially the intensity of his passion. Adds to the excitement!
I'm glad there were cooperation of both sides in their reports of where units were place and positioned.
Adelman's brigade takes over the sunken road for yet another great episode! Nice.
Beth Parnicza and Frank O’Reilly are two of the best historians in the Civil War field. The NPS is very lucky to have them.
Would love to munch on Beths box
@@tateflorell2751 You need to evaluate your social skills. Wondering why you'd say that, to anyone!
Excellent work! Very informative and fair to both sides. This is how teaching should be done -- enthusiastically! Keep up the good work.
I love these longer videos you guys have been doing. This is why the CWT is my favorite channel
I'm so happy that I was able to see inside the Innis House and the grounds at Brompton - thanks very much!
Wow!!! Another Live Civil War program and walk at the location!!! I am stoked and jazzed about these programs!
They're great! Hope you do more of these!
This got me very interested in also going to visit the National Civil War Museum in Harrisburg, PA.
I've read a lot of Civil War books. It is my understanding that the Irish Brigade soldiers were the ones lying closest to the stone wall.
Their kepi hats had green sprigs of boxwood leafs attached to them.
That was slaughter. They lost a lot of Irishmen in that attack!

thanks for all your hard work and great information in the video. Might want to use stability option on your camera. look forward to your next video.
Gary are you overdosing on the coffee before you started?
Gary’s my favorite , keep it up!!!
I worked in that town, that house is smaller than it looks. Glad to see the sunken road closed to traffic.
I had ancestors in the 27th North Carolina Infantry which would of been on Marye`s Heights!
Has there been any consideration to reconstructing some of the houses along the stone wall that stood during the battle that are no longer there today?
Gary, try decaf.
No - his videos need his energy
Lee's attacks at Gaines's Mill eventually broke the Federal line, while Union soldiers at Fredericksburg failed to do so.
Kershaw's sword belongs in a museum!! Oh wait....
It is a sad shame that all those houses are built on that field and you can not stand there and see it as it was.
Question: Why was it necessary to reconstruct the stone wall at Fredericksburg? What happened to the original wall?
may have deteriorated from over a century of rain on the hillside (faster flow than flat ground) , idiot tourists plucking pieces, acid rain, development, or locals grabbing stones for their own use
Did anyone notice at 39:40 to 39:50 how the guys almost literally pushed the female Park Ranger out of their way as she was talking about Kershaw? Is there any doubt how much male dominence is involved in this story? Still, it is a marvelous piece of historical study.
The several regiments that were cut to pieces
At 54:24, I think you're wrong about there being no earthworks or protection in front of the Marye House. I can't access any of my books at the moment, but I remember clearly reading E.P. Alexander's account of his review of the positions to be dug in for protecting the guns and for gaining improved coverage of the field, and his persuading Lee to move the Confederate gun positions further down the crest than where Lee had initially wanted them.
How can I officially get involved? I live for the history, especially this period of our history. The civil war has literally been my best friend throughout my life. Just wish I could have a career in something I hold so dear.
Burnside was justifiably criticized for the multiple seperate assaults (7 times?) despite the horrible results.
Man. the civil war is a subject to be treated with a bit more valium in your case
Its a shame a person of authority and power didnt see the importance of our nations battlefields and taken the neccessary steps to save them before development took place!!
well truth is, america is, or was, a tremendous country , it had periods of massive population and industrial growth. the cities were once the powerful fortresses of commerce and creation. Also, life must go on. War is wasteful. Hundreds of square miles of prime land are there to be used for living, farming, working. It is not merely "greediness" that means that development occurred on battlefields. historical nerds may scream, and i understand since i am a historical nerd also. but we couldn't render sacred all those areas, or we would impede the righteous impulses of americans to grow their nation.
@@decimated550 Any country who willfully destroys their historic battlefields destroys their reason for being.
any general sideburn barber shops ?
Far better than god's and general's film...
SAVE OUR BATTLEFIELDS AMERICA 🇺🇸
14:11 mark. Mentions orientation film. Where else could I see that. My daughter and I were in one for the U.S. Dept. of the Interior for Fredericksburg.
Hey Gary!
REBEL YELLLLL!!!
7:37 Chris is a good guy and quite knowledgeable but he went a little off the rails here. 🙂
Man, if Union cannon were in place to blast that wall, the battle might've ended differently.
I've read that E Porter Alexander was no match for Henry Hunt regarding Artillary leadership? I don't know enough about either of them. (A duh moment I guess)
Whoa... faster talking isnt necessarily better. I had to listen to a Shelby Foote interview to heal my overloaded brain.
I wanna know what he was going to say about Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain groupies, and why the video was cut so abruptly. lol
Didnt even know there is a dunken road in Fredricksburg lol. Thougt only in antietam
It's "DUNKER" at Antietam, not "dunken" ;-)
My dream JOB !!!
Oh...
Obviously alot of knowledge but maybe they should have stayed with James Earl Jones doing the Narratives if you know what I mean.
Yes why? Is Burnside considered the good looking idiot and Lee was considered the esteemed general?
Gary at his absolute most disturbing spazzing out. It's really really hard to watch this flailing, jumping tension causing behavior. Takes very much away from the content.
Very smart individual - please calm the approach!
Enough of the 20th Maine already.
Why there freezing! Lol
I no longer watch Gary Adleman videos on Civil War battlefields. These are hallowed sites where thousands of men died on both sides horrible deaths and Gary acts like he's at an amusement park. So disrespectful.CWT needs to get rid of him. He needs meds bad.
Show some respect.
Too much caffeine!
Tremendous terrible shots...
Make me the country's dictator and I'll raze every home, apartment building, warehouse, factory, motel and restaurant on these battlefields and restore them to their pristine conditions. This is disgusting that so little respect is paid to American history.
This would be so much better if they slowed down and didn’t talk like they were on speed. To much coffee??
It's similar to listening to an auctioneer.
Slow down !! I turn you off when I hear guray
Obviously there is something wrong with the audio….everyone is talking faster than they normally would. It is NOT just Gary!
Wow Chris…. You really hate Chamberlain. You guys are a joke. The guy wasn’t perfect. Wounded severely at Petersburg. Your disdain for him is pathetic. Its ugly. The Man who served his Country. Heroically. Even after Gettysburg.
Don't talk so Fast!
MARYE'S HEIGHTS....YOU COULDN'T BEATTACTICAL GEOGRAPHICAL POSITIONING AT THAT TIME!!! THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS STEALTH,NIGHT OPERATIONS,UNITS LIKE RODGERS RANGERS FROM REVOLUTIONARY AND INDIAN WARS TIMES!
the sword looks fake ,.....
EASY on the crystal meth
The park service guys and gal are great minus the over caffeinated nut in the black hat
That’s Gary’s M. O. As a Civil War history fan, I don’t mind enthusiasm at all. More power to you Gary.
He will grow on you
The first guy is a jerk
