Another magnificent series of videos. Living in London and understandably more informed on British military history and WW1/WW2, my previous knowledge of the Overland Campaign was at Ken Burns documentary level. The level of detail and clarity in these videos has improved my knowledge substantially. It’s invaluable to see the terrain, to understand what occurred. Compliments to Garry, Kris, Dan, Sarah, Chris, Andy and the other LBGs, for your excellence in delivering these videos. On this side of the pond, we have had some good presenters covering British and European military history, Richard Holmes (War Walks) and Michael Wood (In Search Of), to name a couple. In comparison, your team matches anything they have produced on the BBC. Keep saving those battlefields! Mick - London.
Five men in the 8th New York HA were involved in recovering Colonel Porter's body, including Leroy Williams. The Porter family presented medals made by Tiffany to these men after the war. I have seen at least one of these medals sell at auction.
Thank you Kris, Dan, and Ranger Gorman. A great follow up on this series. Thank you. 💯👊👍💕
Really enjoyed ranger Mike very knowledgeable
Thank you ABT for this engaging and informative trip on the Overland Campaign. Truly shows show how relentless and awful the war became by 1864. Also shows how nothing was settled in that summer and that the outcome of the war was still very much in doubt. Also enjoyed park ranger perspectives. I learned a lot. Proud to be a member of ABT!
Why was Camp Letterman not preserved.....it is now being turned into another usless strip mall!
Grant should have left Meade in charge after Wilderness and taken charge of James Army and forced through at Petersburg and Richmond. Cutting off Lee from his base and supply lines. Too much ego 😂
I am heading to Gettysburg with my 2 best friends next week for a girls trip. The hardest part for me is me to wrap my head around is that it’s not just a single battle but many many moving parts and many conflicts all happening at once. It had to be chaos!
It is such an amazing place to experience. I hope you have the best time!
Is there already a Petersburg series like this? Or that is next
They did one a couple of years ago with Will Greene (he used to be the president of the APCWS, Association for the Preservation of Civil War Sites, the forerunner of today's ABT). Will has written several books on the Petersburg Campaign of 64/65.
Hope to see more from you guys in the future. That was GREAT!
The collection of videos covering the Overland Campaign provides a valuable compendium for any student of the Civil War. Thanks to the team!
I portrayed someone who was in the 8th New York heavy artillery for the Ionia county historical society’s highland park cemetery tour in Ionia, Michigan, his name was John Sherman, who moved to Ionia after the war and he lived into the 1920s in the Ionia County area.
Beware of "new" interpretations
Beware of cognitive dissonance.
@@user-st3vd5bf6g do you even know what that means?
Why should we beware? Is something correct just because it's older?
@@shanerjedi1138 The people who were there and survived have a pretty good recollection, wouldnt you say?
Thanks for all your work on this adventure.I have been reading the day by day accounts in "Bloody Roads South" in conjunction with the videos. It really helps to understand the campaign.
Thanks again for another excellent video series. And love listening to Mike Gorman - such passion for his subject. Good timing as I recently finished reading all of Gordon Rhea's books on the Overland Campaign. Highly recommended. Looking forward to more ABT videos in the future!
Thanks for this, great job crew!
Thanks everyone for the great videos 😊
Really enjoyed ranger Mike very knowledgeable
Great video guys 😎👍
APPRECIATE YOU ABT!!!!
Thank you Guys !!
Thank you all so much for this series. A wealth of information. Outstanding job by everyone involved.
The three year enlistment could be nullified and extended at any time, with the stroke of a pen. Didn't they extend a unit that was joined into the 20th Maine under Chamberlain?
Thank you so much, this has been a great series! Many thanks to all for telling about this important campaign!
I hope the videos continue to show where Grant crossed the James and moved south.
Excellent very interesting to follow 👍
Looking forward to Atlanta campaign and Petersburg videos
They did Petersburg with wil greene 2 or 3 years ago to look them up they’re excellent
Oh yeah. Grant's so smart. After 60,000 casualties he "Cleverly" gets his Army where McClellan was 2 years ago 😂
Nope he latched on to Lee and would not give him rest until he surrendered. Determined to win and not just dance.
Bro, you think you’d do better against Lee? He’s OP Level 💯, only way to beat him is wear him down.
I don't know who enjoyed these videos more...me...or you...
Based off all the donations we think it was you!
Thank you sir
Mike Gorman in my opinion is one of the best interpreters from the NPS that I've seen in quite awhile. Excellent and informative video folks! Keep up the great work!
Today anivasary for american in france d day tomorow landing in beach history ww2
Nothing says you're a "yankee" like "you guys". The word is "y'all". Learn it, use it.
The amount of confederate sympathizers in these comments is ridiculous. Y’all lost. Fair and square. And no, you were not fighting for “freedom” or “rights” y’all were specifically fighting to preserve your way of life. Slavery. And any other narrative to the contrary is just silly at this point. You guys gotta except it and move on.
Mike Gorman is a great presenter
Y'all need to stop being so Yankeenized... Everyone with any common sense knows that the South was fighting against everything that we continue to suffer under to this very day.
Amen! Preach!
They’re definitely partial towards the north.
@@jesterboykins2899 it shows how indoctrinated they are.
@@jesterboykins2899they are definitely partial to actual history (that doesn’t have sides) and we are all under the red, white and blue. We are all Americans, quit trying to fight a war that was won long ago. I had more relatives fight for the south and had some die on both sides. The survivors moved on, so should you.
Like freedom
