My late wife used to say: "If you want a difficult job done correctly the first time around, put the right woman on it!" My personal experience proved her correct. God rest her beautiful soul.
Thank you for doing the walk. It put this battle together for me in a way that never came when I visited Fredericksburg. Now I will have to visit again to appreciate it even more.
Thank you for covering this aspect (these aspects) of Chancellorsville. Thanks for making and uploading these videos for those of us stuck at home (wheelchair-Arizona). For a lifetime historian and student of the Civil War, you are truly a lifesaver.
You guys are amazing! Walking, talking, filming, keeping it interesting, handing off microphones, and rattling off facts without a glitch or falling down! Amazing! Thank you!
The theme during this time period is the Union is just too slow and deliberate w everything they do. Lee and Jackson are always 3 steps ahead of them. They seem to moniter and predict union movements easily.
I’d not heard of this Fredericksburg battle until seeing a reference to the 6th North Carolina’s participation (an ancestor had been in it and was soon to lose an arm at Gettysburg). Were they with the Louisiana Tigers outfit under Early as they were in the fighting on Cemetery Hill coming up? Also, I missed identification of exactly where the sunken road was specifically. Was it where Telegraph Road was? Thank you, and I’m looking forward to viewing more of your documentaries.
Well done. I'm from Guilford, Maine which is the next town north of Foxcrot *which is only part of a to×n now, Dover-Foxcroft. I had to laugh when hearing about moose. Moose don't graze and meander, they don't herd up and can be quite a challenge, especially during rutting season and spring. Cows protecting. They live in swamps, marshes, along lakes and are strict vegitarians. Andalways, as with everything wild, being encroached upon.
Are you kidding? Really! If someone will desecrate a Confederate soldier's gravesite, they think nothing of knocking over monuments or getting taxpayers money involved for their agenda.
16:45 Wait... so the city of Fredericksburg demolished the African American Cemetery to build a stadium? If Chris is right all I can say is I wish I was surprised... 😔
It's a great story. The Mary's height and the great Confederate man who became the angel of Mary's height. Fascinating❤ and beautiful!
This series is superb and a true homage to this complex battle. Loving it!
Sarah is a born Camerawoman...walking backward at speed and keeping it in focus.

Outstanding performances by all involved. That's as much as I've ever heard about the second battle of Fredericksburg at one time.
You guys are amazing! Walking, talking, filming, keeping it interesting, handing off microphones, and rattling off facts without a glitch or falling down! Amazing! Thank you!
Great comment Chris White! " He knows what Marye 's Heights means. Death." 😮
Is that the Doughnut Shop got me.
I've been watching these nonstop for days and dude getting a ramrod shot at him during a reenactment is wild. Dedication to the history lol
Never been to Fredricksburg. At 30:26 when you show the hill from the canal to Marys heights...i never knew how long or steep the assault was. 😮
Realy enjoy the videos. You guys so a great job. You all should be teachers ans get real history back in our school's. Graet job
Just around 21:25, “there were aaaa lottt of ‘em”…..very Gary Adelman-esque!
21:34 Great parking job there!
Neill is buried at West Point. i just visited him before a football game there.

Amazing how houses now cover the area where thousands died
Where was Kearney's Brigade during the battle?
Chris M. said Kirkland was supposed to have provided water to Union wounded during 1st battle. I thought it was a documented fact is it not?
Nobody wants to remove confederate monuments from places like this. Come on. You know that.
