Ambrose Wright's Georgians on July 2 - Gettysburg Battle Walk with Ranger Matt Atkinson 

Thank you for these videos Stuff Writer. Matt is charming, funny and makes history come alive. He should have his own RU-vid channel!

ranger matt is the best ranger at gettysburg... hands down !!! love him

All these Rangers are fantastic, well informed knowledgeable historians. Matt is all that that a natural entertainer too. Makes it all the more fun to watch! Keep up the good work Matt!

Park Ranger Matt, is the person I wish I was. We need more Matt's in our life.

Park Ranger Matt is the best, it's best to sprinkle History lessons with humor, and Matt is a natural. I hope he realizes he cannot transfer, nor retire anytime soon.... : )

Must have been Bike Week in Gettysburg that weekend. It is absolutely awful for visitors who actually care about history and want to visit the battlefield.

AP Hill's presence, or lack thereof at Gettysburg has mystified me for years! SO glad to hear Matt's thoughts on it all - would love to have that pamphlet!

Matt is so amazing to watch! He is prime RU-vid material, I bet you anything if Matt created his own channel about the Civil War that people would freak and it'd be amazing!

This was excellent! I was 8 yrd old when Gettysburg came out and I watched it with my dad. I didnt understand much obviously, but the music in the movie really got to me and kept me focused on the characters and names. I never forgot them. Still strange to me that I could hold onto those things at such a young age about something i didnt understand. I've recently been diving deeper into the battle and trying to really understand the movements of men. Where they were exactly and where they were heading. So fascinating just to watch and learn. I truly hope to visit the battlefield someday. Thank's so much to Ranger Matt and the camera guy! Great lesson!

Thanks Again Mysterious Camera Guy, Best Way you Can get Educated. Thanks From Australia and thanks to Ranger Matt

Yet another awesome presentation by Matt!

I can imagine him as a teacher enthralling the students with his stories. He’s a natural tor guide able to deliver information and hold interest of groups. I thought he had a master degree in history

Don’t get me wrong Matt is A#1 in my book. The star of the show. Ther is a gentleman on you tube with his own channel, Jeffery the librarian. The NPS needs to recruit that mofo, he’s outstanding. I think Matt would be the first to agree.

A very informative video done with much detail and humor too!

My favorite Brigade Commander at Gettysburg.

Outstanding tour, learned so much I never knew. You realize that had Longstreet had Pickett's division on the attack on Day 2, they very well would have broke the Union line in enough strength to send the Union Army into flight !!!! In the movie when Lee is talking to Longstreet and saying they were so close on day two and that for a while he could see Confederate flags on the heights, now can understand why he would have felt that way, it was Wright's Brigade !! I wonder if Wright's men were the High Water Mark of the Confederacy and went deeper into the Union line than the attack on day 3??? PS, love these tours as my State has us in a Stay at Home lock down. These videos get your mind out of the house and onto the Gettysburg Battlefield helping me at least, to keep my sanity :) Also, would like to see Camera man switching camera view to what Matt is pointing too more. He will point to something, but the Camera man maintains Camera on Matt. Or get two Cameramen and edit the videos. But appreciate who ever is putting these videos together. They are so informative!! Keep it up with my compliments !!

So well done Thanks

I love these and its 100% my fault I only have a phone to watch on but really hard to hear at times. Thanks for your efforts!

I wish Matt would do one on Perry/Lang brigade. I live around where the 2nd Florida was mustered. During the Gettysburg campaign the Floridians took more casualties than any other brigade at Gettysburg.

21.43. Score one for Ol'Dan Sickles. Disrupted Longstreet from the start JUST by being on the road, and in The Devil's Den.

Matt reminds me of Barney Fife/Gomer. Great vid as usual.

It would be more informative if the camera operator would focus on what Matt is pointing at rather than at Matt pointing

I like the Luckenbach Texas reference lol

cool guide😊

How about those motorcycles near the Codori house? Must’ve been bike week.

Matt reminds me of Buster Scruggs

Excellent appraisil

Very good video as usual for Matt. I think the bikers were following him around don’t you?

Matt is awesome

Thank you so much StuffWriter for these videos. Will you be making more in summer 2019?

As usual, great video...had to laugh at all the bikes going by. Was it bike week?

Does anyone know if you can request this particular guide when you visit the battlefield or is it just whoever is in line?

When Matt points out in the field can you show us. Please.

Isn't Matt the best?!

I read a book called a Small but Spartan Band. It focused on the FL brigade from secession to Appomattox. According to it, Lang's Floridians advanced will Wilcox's Brigade all the way past that road, (even farther than wrights brigade) until Wilcox, on Lang's right, got out flanked and retreated, so Lang also retreated. Wright wasn't even leading the attack that day, he was sick.(I think from the Cherries) Once Wright basically called them cowards, a representative from the Florida brigade confronted him, and told he to redact it, which he did. Obviously, not soon enough though, bc here we are lol.

The Confederate blame game post event is nearly as interesting as the battle.

Camera operator keeps covering the lense.

@flamlike217 I don’t think so, flam!!! Especially if the commanding general allows his brigade to continuously get outflanked & retreats in the face of the enemy!!!❤😮😊

How many soldiers died from heat stroke at Gettysburg?

who the hell hits the dislike button on a video like this? can't understand it...

I believe,if an accurate account,that Longstreet suggested to Lee to disengage and move to a more advantageous position,Lee should have done so since his calvary was not accounted for and Lee never understood neither the force nor position of the Union army.

Biscuits N' Porn is from a little gas station in Nags Head NC. They have really good breakfast biscuits in the mornings.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2450">40:50</a> Cameraman gets sleepy.

wow! put a windsock on the microphone, rooky

Not one person here mentions the Metallica reference. Sad.

Always interesting and well done by Matt Atkinson. Video guy needs to learn how to keep his fingers off the lens. Also shooting up in the air at the Codori house allows no view of the terrain - just Matt's head and trees. Terrible framing. Love the content though

The camera man needs to have one finger removed so as not to block part of the video. I use to have this problem, but I'm now called, "4 fingers" and do not have this problem. lol

Motorcycle sound is awful

The sound of all those bikes is irritating and you can see it on Matt's face. They're damn loud and remind me of South Park's response when a swarm of loud bikes ride into their town. This is hallowed ground, not Sturgis or Daytona. "Right turn, Clyde" comes to mind.

Is Ranger Matt a Waylon Jennings fan, he quoted "Good hearted woman" I think ? Just asking

Why is there so much bickering in the comments.....the whole comment section is a civil war.

~SHARP SHOOTERS~ of The Civil War have a "Hilarious" sense of humor. In my research, there's this one account written by a sharpshooter. It goes as follows., "I took aim as the enemy soldier was relieving himself behind a tree 100 yards away. Pulled the trigger and shot off the head of his dick. I laughed heartily as he reeled in pain". -You can't make this stuff up folks. -Historian, Bill Howes.

Stuffwriter - if you are the cameraman most of Matt's videos - give the job to someone else. You're abysmal!

It goes very slow if watching it on a video. I'm talkin' slooooooooooooow that leaves too much frustration for knowing how the battle flows. and why in the world are loud harley davidsons running around. Of course harley riders will say the loud mufflers make it safer for them but that is all malarky...they just like noise pure and simple

I could do better with a super 8...

These are great videos. However your camera man should be fired Worst ever... or maybe you ment to have his finger in half the shots??

Yeah Had to stop watching worst videography ever
