My gg grandfather Pvt. John Strebeck and gg uncle Lt. Daniel Strebeck of the 13th Mississippi, and my gg grandfather Pvt. Daniel Pleasant Thorp of the 17th Mississippi were all there fighting during the river crossing and in the streets as part of Barksdale's Brigade.
SWEET Mine g g great William B Everett PENN. Little round top but Woo Wee What a history proud of of History like that....Great Family u have, n histoy wow..
I'm Scottish,from Dundee, I love this series of videos on American Civil War
I'm 60yrs old and Civil War reenacted from 1974 to 1996.This is the first time I've ever heard the Confederates wanted the Federals to get across.
I was re-watching this as we are a week away from the 12th of Dec. I just noticed something pretty cool. As you guys were talking about the Michigan Soldiers crossing first in the pontoon's a Jeep drove by and it's Wheel cover was a U of Michigan logo.
This world never fails to amaze me. Just as the 7th Michigan took the nearshore of the river, a Jeep with a Michigan tire cover drives by at 19:22
Think that's bad.. try watching * the undefeated * John Wayne and Rock Hudson..
A pick up drives by at the end..
Bottom right corner of screen.. 😆
Good job guys - it’s so weird seeing UA-cam videos filmed a mile away from where I live, and finding out stuff I didn’t know!
My Uncle, Oscar Ewing Stuart, of Co K of the 18th MS was in town with Barksdale. I have a letter he wrote home describing his experience. He was killed behind the wall on Marye's Heights during the battle of Chancellorsville and is buried in the Confederate Cemetery in Fredericksburg.
My Great-great Grandfather enlisted with the Seventeenth Iowa Infantry Volunteers when he was forty years old. His name was William Toney. Their first action was at Iuka Mississippi. It would be great if you could do a segment on the battle of Iuka. I makes me tear-up when I think of what he went through. I saw an animation on U-tube of the battle of Darwin and the Timor convoy in WW2. My dad and his artillery battery (148th Idaho Field Artillery) were involved in that. His name was Floyd Tacklind and he received the Silver Star from General MacArthur for his action at Darwin. The animation was so detailed that I couldn't sleep for two days worrying about my dad even thought it happen almost eighty years ago and he survived the war.
Thank you sharing! Great info on a part of the war that we don't hear about much. Great job
Great topographical view and explanation. Seeing it "live" is so much better than a map.
I love the enthusiasm and knowledge. Good job!
Excellent discussion, thank you!
Do not forget the 8th Florida regiment fought at this site too.
Excellent episode hope to see more episodes like this
Great job guys. Really learned a lot about the Fredricksburg Battle
Hey Pete! Talk to you Saturday. Great time..I was asking about what time I could go to Cemetery in morning. Sunrise view. Thank you very much
The only time I'm ever gonna listen to these 4 guys talk about street fighting... guaranteed! 😆
Good stuff guys! 👏
Battlefields should request all confederate statues to go to battlefields throughout the South and admission paid for the up keep because you know people complain that their tax money is taking care of statues. History should not be destroyed but saved for future generations.
Good information and well done. Thanks. The exception - as usual Adelman drives me nuts - flailing, jumping, spazzing!! If trying to arouse excitement - it doesn't work. Better to keep the
camera off him and just hear his voice.
I was living in Stafford VA when you guys filmed this. I wish I'd known, so I coukd have come down to watch. I used to go to Fredericksburg all the time. I would sit at the Hyperion Espresso coffee shop on Princess Anne Street and marvel at the battle history around me.
Why move from such a great civil war area.
@@jobtross2842 Military orders, my friend. I've already lived in New Orleans and now Tampa since I left Stafford.
The next time you are visiting Fredericksburg remember these two words: Paul's Bakery; best Donuts in Central Virginia, with Knakel's Bakery in Culpeper a close 2nd.
One of the last wars where people fought with honor
Thank you for this...love what you all are doing. I love this town and have visited many, many times over many, many years...
Question: Is there any chance the most obtrusive battlefield marker, there at the Upper Crossing site may be replaced by the "modern" style of tablet? Lord knows, that will certainly improve the scene of Water Street and the Hancock house when viewed from the riverfront...
Going to Slaughter pen next
I am amazed by your enthusiasm and energy great info and enjoyed the video as always .
Any idea how heavy were these pontoon bridges sections and how many men it took to move then during construction? Was the bridge built in sections of pontoons or put together in individual parts at the river? Thanks.
Around 19 mins in there was talk about the 7th Michigan and about 15 seconds later or so a Jeep drives by with Michigan Wolverines tire cover lol
Great Great Video. Thank you
Good job fellas. I swear, I thought I just saw Barksdale’s boys off in the distance .
Is Chatham House open to the public ?
Has the river been modeled or dug out in the times after the Civil war or is it still much like in 1862?
battlefield restored recently ?
Who would thumbs down a history lesson?
Do you think there are still skeletons in the river?
any Updates on the programs for 2020??
With hindsight, is it safe to say Burnside was the only one who thought this was a good idea?
Actually it was King Wen of Zhou in China in the 11th century BC who invented the bridge.
I love this!
Great video in a very nice place..
Is the introducer at the start, certified insane on a day off?
Iv heard multiple times that this was 2nd Waterloo. Would that be accurate? I know their was approximate 13,000 union deaths vs 4,500 confederate deaths. Which is crazy considering the difference in number between the armies.
Brandon Tube I don't see any similarities between the battles. Waterloo ended France's grip on on power in Europe. The Union army would fight another day. Also, those numbers you cited are total casualties not deaths.
Doublecanister4thUSArty iv just heard it used before and i dont know much about European history. And yea thats what i was goin for. Deaths lol.
I heard some guy in a lecture mention it that way i think and iv heard it in a song somewhere.
In terms of geography, it was similar but in terms of strategic outcome and the tactics involved, it wasn't very close.
you never really hear about the bombardment at fredricksburg. even with advances in tech. by ww1, most bombardment was still more psychological than effective at killing enemy soldiers in defensive positions. by this time, it could destroy trenches but the machine gun was farm more effective. the civil war was 50+ years before that.
Where’s a good place I can go in Virginia to get an awesome experience in history? I love in Richmond
I think it’s sad the bloodiest war in our history is reduced to little more than school rivalries Betwixt ego maniacs 💔
Uhu and its sad we just potentially voted in a war monger who bombed the middle east over 26,000 times during the previous administration. I would not be surprised if we aren't in some sort of new conflict abroad within the next few years. Regardless of what political party you affiliate and align with, the current president kept us out of new conflicts and was striking peace deals abroad. Shame. Take care.
Great video. However, some of these guys need to stop drinking so much coffee!!! Esp the guy w/the scarf and union hat!
Why do you wave your arms around so much??
Because he's Garry Adelman
Hes italian
Those that govern the US Parks need to be replaced. I see them getting rid of the old markers as a preparation of disillusionment of those lands. For sale to to the politicians as to make way for expansion.
Why aren’t you talking about or mentioning specific confederate regiments? Like Alabama’s 11th Regiment? Under Col. Sanders? The ones who held the town?
👍
I am seeing some obvious bias here telling stories about specific Federal regiments and individuals but only mentioning Barksdale's Mississippians in a general sense.
Oh holy bald monk÷y with black hat!😀so nice! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
looters not fighting
I just don't understand how the military is able to make Swiss cheese out of its countrymen was Abraham insane ! Sorry but o am not a fan of him or what the union did to it's brother's so sad for what it was worth very sad.
Wouldn't it have been more the fault of Burnside?

Gary Please wait till after the intro to hit the meth pipe....
