Once again, you guys are putting on the Best (159th) Anniversary coverage! Yes, I've told my friends, and invited them to watch too! Thanks, Gary, and all of you at ABT!

Thank you Garry, Kris & everyone else involved in this year's coverage. I especially appreciate the detail and time spent around Stony Hill that Kris and Evan hosted. I have just over 100 relatives in the family tree that served in the Civil War, and I've spent time drilling down on the history of one in particular... Cpl Naum Apgar, 110th PA Inf, Co B. If my research is correct, that Company was part of Sickles' Corp during Gettysburg, and the main action for him was situated near the ravine just east of the Rose farm, south of Sherfy's and the Peach Orchard, and next to Stony Hill.... part of de Trobriand's brigade. As Kris noted, fighting was intense. When they were relieved by brigades from 5th Corp, they retired west and joined the 17th Maine to fight in the Wheatfield. That was tough as well. They were relieved by units from 2nd Corp with ammunition running low, and I believe moved to the south end of Cemetery Ridge near Little Round Top for the night. On July 3 they supported the artillery batteries at that end of Cemetery Ridge. Naum survived Gettysburg, and survived for another year, but was KIA at Deep Bottom late July of 1864. Hopefully I am piecing all of his history together correctly. Again, appreciate all that you folks do as it certainly does add a tremendous amount of knowledge to help understand what happened and what they experienced.

I was there three weeks ago and I was all by myself. There was no one else around. A good time to reflect on what happened there.

Garry, once again a great job by you, Kris, Sarah and everyone involved, and thanks for this cool Bonus video. I haven't been to Gettysburg for the battle anniversary, I usually come there in mid July(will be there in two weeks actually) and sometimes in September. I am going to try my best to come there for the 160th next year for sure! Keep up the great work and will see you at Antietam for the Image Of War!

Thanks to everyone involved for the videos. BTW, could someone ( if I am saying this right) talk about Hampton Rock?

[@harveycaldwell2409]

Thank you for this video this is a really great history lesson

[@2DSTORMS]

Loved the bonus video

[@douglashayden329]

Why are parts of the battlefield not allowed to be visited? The whole point to understanding the battle is to be able to walk the grounds on which they were fought.

From Germany see all !!

[@johnzajac9849]

It's possible that Rebel artillery specifically targeted Gen. Sickles, who allegedly was on his horse. At Chancellorsville, Gen. Alpheus Williams wrote that he was sitting on his horse, 'Plug Ugly', when a Rebel shell exploded under the horse and tossed both rider and horse into the air. Luckily, neither was seriously injured. Rebel gunners had the skill to fire and hit groups of horsemen and even lone riders.

Please discuss the weather situation after the battle if you haven't already.
