Artillery at Gettysburg and Continuing Day 1: Gettysburg 158 Live! 

Just saw Doug crossing Chambersburg Street, by the 7/11. It was like seeing a rockstar after watching trust videos all day.

This is so great. Watching with my girls. All of the historians are amazing. Thanks for all that you guys to to keep our history alive.

Another year and I wish I was there, but I love watching these as they come out.

Loveing this!!! Tim and Gary two of my favorite Gettysburg guys!

adelman, smith and douds are awesome!!!! these dudes know their stuff!! I love how they describe how the battle went down.

Having just been to Gettysburg during the week of June 14, I am loving these “deep dives “. Thanks

Passionate intelligent discussion on a fascinating prelude and opening act to the battle. Really interesting discussion on the human equation and how soldiers endured the carnage then ultimately had enough and left for home. Great job to all involved.

The passion these guys have for this is amazing. They do a great job of painting the picture in your head as to what was happening.

First, this is great stuff. So, thank you. I always live the days of Gettysburg in late June through 3 p.m. on July 3. Been to battlefield many times on those days. However, I need to argue with the historian's opinion at 9:00 who, though he rightly argues of the criticality of Howard's choice to rally the Army at Cemetery Hill, without Buford's successful delaying action west of town, the Confederates would have rolled right into town and most probably would have occupied Cemetery Hill long before Reynolds and the First Corps arrived. I think we too often wrongly try to reduce very complex historical events into one or two key moments for the sake of simplicity and just to try to wrap our heads around things, but the only simple fact is that there are way too many key moments in this battle, which, had they gone another way, "woulda", "coulda". "shoulda" turned the tide of battle.

I have really enjoyed listening to all of you and learning about Gettysburg. Alot I didn't know. Thanks 👍😊

Love the history and personal soldier stories.

I would love to run into this guy in Gettysburg ,he seems very smart and would answer questions I have. Great job guys. I watch all your videos. I love Gettysburg

Garry and crew, great job.....watching and appreciating from Bali, Indonesia.

Great. You guys are so enthusiastic with your presentations.

I hope Doug with be on one of the Garry and Tim tours. Doug is fantastic

Happy you brought Tim Smith on. Good stuff. All good stuff. Thanks all

Great job on this. Watching as you go.

Another year. More history. Thanks all.

LOTS of info in 35 minutes, GREAT JOB !!

Absolutely brilliant

Lots of information, thank you all! I've done a few videos about some smaller aspects about Knoxville, TN during the Civil War.

Another outstanding video. Think Tim was great. Need better orientation of where you are when the video begins and the title is not correct. This is really about the 11th Corps fight north of Gettysburg. This part of the battle is so seldom discussed, learned so much from this great team!! Again, Outstanding video! I have studied the Civil War for many years, these videos have filled so many questions I have had and have given me a really more clear understanding of what happened! Well done from a great team ! PS, my ancestor lived in Arkansas and the Confederate Army marched and took him away to fight. He was captured and died at Point Lookout Maryland POW camp. His name is on the mass grave there.

Seems to me this is the story of the Union on the 1st day of Gettysburg. But I expect that’s where we are in history. To the victor goes the Narrative. As per Gen. Cleburne.

What great content! Passionate and well-informed presenters. I especially enjoy the passion. Thank you! by the way, perhaps get a shield for the mic (also known as a dead cat)…the wind noice is pretty distracting.

Here's another diary from a Civil War soldier who might not have an intelligent family tree. It states, "I was talking to my twin brother when a cannonball entered his head. The sound was deafening as it rattled around his noggin for a while. Other than a slight headache he was fine. We sat down and ate lunch." -Bill Howes, Civil War historian.

Not sure about anyone else when visiting Gettysburg, but something feels different when out on the battlefield. The way it has been preserved has a strange quietness that is hard to explain. In certain parts there are no businesses, no roads and very oddly the air feels different.

4:18 My GGGF William Andrew Reid 45th N.C. Infantry Co. C was on that hill July 1st

the closed captioning is hilarious but the overall presentation is great.

Gary do whatever you can to wind up Tim please. Tell him you had an an epiphany that Sickles is the best general in the Union Army.

Speaking of 11th Corps artillery, can you add anything to the accounts of the Ohio light artillery battery K under Captain Heckman? As I understand it they fought a fighting retreat in support of Coster's brigade at the Brickyard.

My great great grandfather was in the 11th Corp but I believe the 73rd Ohio was held back on Cemetery Hill.

I love watching these Videos.. You do such a great lob!! Goin to see if you've done any on Antitime.. I sure that you have..

Gary- great enthusiasm. A little more pictoral depiction of the battlefield and less "up close & personal stuff" would be appreciated but love your work;)

I have always felt that Gettysburg was simply the most organic battle of the war. There was no grand strategy on ether side and everything unfolded in the heat of the moment. I can't imagine the confederacy would have intentionally pushed the union into a better defensive position had they had known what was unfolding.

Is there a way to see what tours Doug Douds does? Would love to have a tour and him be our tour guide.

I missed the Railroad cut now the 11 xl corps the crescent 🌙

Gary, the Correct Pronunciation of Krzyzanowski is Kshit Zon uff skee.

Watching in Pawtucket, R.I. guys, jak sie masz...

you mentioned the 45th NY. What about the 58th NY and Krzyzanowski's Brigade? Wasn't Col. Krzyzanowski awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions here?

What did they do about Bounty Jumpers?

~GETTYSBURG~ My Great {blah, blah} Grand-Dad was a rough Commander. When he was giving orders to a soldier to "Charge". A cannonball blew the head off the soldier. This infuriated my Grand Dad. His diary reads, "Just as I gave the order to charge. A cannonball blew his brain matter all over my uniform. I shouted, telling him he should never lose his head in battle. I then court-martialed him for not following orders." -Bill Howes, Civil War historian and proud of his Grand Dad.

neat live video

Is it just me or does the guy in the hat and blue shirt look like skelnick from "revenge of the nerds"?? But would of really enjoyed learning from these ppl.

Eisenhower wanted to be with his men he lost at Camp Colt and reminisce of his military days as his life's light faded. Possibly?

Where's the wool uniforms?I want to see the sweat.

Gen Howard, half are German Polish Catholic Lutheran

OF COURSE NO ONE REFUSED TO MAKE THAT CHARGE NO ONE HAD THAT MUCH COURAGE

As many as 25,000 US POWs resulted from the Battle of the Bulge.

Howard was kind of a nut but he had his moments. I also think it sucks the 11th Corps as a whole was so badly judged but it wasn't the fault of the soldiers if they were badly lead. The officers were complacent at Chancellorsville and their officers were not much better at Gettysburg. For years I thought Barlow was some kind of hero til I realized his actions at Barlow Knoll were not very prudent. Lastly, the Confederates greatly outnumbered Union soldiers on the first day - not that great of an initial victory. .

Lol meant skolnick

7:45 Barlow moves troops too far forward and compromises the union northern positions 12:35 regiment commanders head is blown to smithereens by a cannonball! 20:30 Americans concept of war at the time was from paintings and woodcuts, dying in heroic poses . a far cry from the bloody bloated corpses

the guys are all very good...but they need to get rid of that woman..just terrible

Very annoying. You need to cut out the caffeine.
