Dr. Reardon gave a remarkable presentation about this lesser known battle that deserves to be remembered.

Love to think of someone watching this during ‘Gettysburg 258’ because you have all made a terrific permanent record of the battle’s nuances this year. Something that will always remain invaluable. The three of you fit so well together, each bringing a great change of pace when following each other. Besides, you two get to work alongside a national treasure in Dr. Reardon! Great job.

I have become a fan of Dr. Reardon because of these videos. I had no idea who she was before. Very knowledgeable, well spoken. But I guess that's why she has the credentials she does.

Stopped by this site a few years ago when we stumbled upon it - interesting to hear more detail about this action.

@dadsongs 2 года назад

Thank you, Carol. Never heard this story. It was riveting!

My great-great uncle, Frederick Merkle, served with the US 6th from the beginning and survived the war. His brother, Lewis (Suel) Merkle US 6th, was KIA at Yorktown, Penninsula Campaign.

Fantastic content! Thanks

@LittleAnastasia... 2 года назад

You should do a video on all the German men who came over here to fight on both sides.

@jeffreywhite7899 2 года назад

Wow, my great, great grandfather was a trooper in the 6th U.S. Cav. Fortunately for me his company and one other were picked to be the escort guard for Maj.General Pleasonton . So he was not present at the Fairfield engagement although his company had a ringside seat for Pickett's Charge.

@Gravelgratious 11 месяцев назад

Which troop was he in? My 5xgreat grandfather was in troop G. Do you know a good source of unit information?

@troychrisman2035 11 месяцев назад

@@Gravelgratious my GGG was in the 6th U.S Cav. William Sherrow - he was captured at First Funkstown on July 7. 1863.

@michaelpatterson2955 2 года назад

Very interesting video! Please, move the camera around more. It's not necessary to keep it so focused on the speaker. I've noticed this on different videos. So many people want to see the terrain and to know points of reference without staring at the speaker. Just a friendly suggestion, but thanks for your intense study and good work.
