Herbst Woods to the Railroad Cut - Day 1 | Gettysburg 161 

Remarkable coverage of the Battle of Gettysburg!

161! I love it. This is like a mini-staycation for me every summer. I'm gonna make up there again some day.

Thanks for taking us along on this fantastic journey!! I'm sitting in front of my big screen tv and it's like I'm right there!!! Thank you Garry, Kris, and Sarah!

Much love from Brockton, MA thanks guys! Many men from our town were in the 12th Massachusetts and fighting there on Day 1 under Baxter

Looking forward to seeing these this year❤

It's that time of year.... I look forward to this every year! Thanks for taking me along from the uk 🇬🇧

Thank you Garry, Kris and Sarah. Always enjoy these information. On the Battlefield. And The Artifact from Harrison Museum.

Uploaded already! Man alive, these folks are ON IT 💯

My 3G-Uncle James Wright Bonds of the 2nd Mississippi died at the Railroad Cut. I've always wanted to go there.

And a really, really, really high thumbs to all you guys, and the wonderful Sarah for the work you do!

Amazing informative, historical video! Thanks Gary, Sarah and Kris. The chains of command prior to and during the battle impacted its final outcome.

Hello from Houston, Texas. Excited for Gettysburg 161 and looking forward to more videos today!

My great grandfather was a slave who left his plantation to fight for the north he was in the 19th Infantry out of Camp Stanton in Maryland. He is listed on the African American Civil war monument in DC. Over200,000 slaves became soldiers and help the north win

The Iron birgade and the 94th 95ny battle Davis Brigade, WOW! the delaying engagement has become a full scale large battle! as more Corps arrive!

One of my relatives was Brig, General John Battalion, McIntosh of the 3rd Pennsylvania Cavalry fought at Gettysburg. This is always amazing to hear the Trust doing live tours like this. Thank you for all you folks do for us.

I am 62! Gettysburg on my bucket list! I plan on going in the Fall months when foliage is not so thick. Easier to see the terrain through the trees. I saw Little Big Horn in the month of June, same month as the battle! Seeing the height of the grasses really brought the battle field life. Keep up the good work Battle Field Trust!

Loved the “360” and setup of location at the start of this episode.

Was fortune enough to walk this today. You inspired me to drive up from Frederick 😊

WOW, WOW,WOW! I did not know you guys take donations to save battle field sites. AMAZING WORK YOU DO.

We were just there last week. 6/22-6/28. We did ok seeing most of the field. auto tour on the last day did not take us to the July 1st Barlow battle sights.

Titusville PA here!

I'm going to watch the movies this week, probably on the 4th.

Hey Gary Pinckney Mich here Long time Trust member

My x2 Great Grandfather Charles Nelson Holden fought on the first day in the 1st Brigade, 2nd Division of the 1st Corps in the 94th New York Infantry.

The 95th N Y and the 14th Brooklyn, Fowler's demi Brigade were left over from the Eastern and Original Iron Brigade, which was disbanded before Gettysburg, when 3 other 2 year regiments mustered out.

Hello from near Brown’s Gap Virginia

Farmingdale, NY is in the house!

Getting ready for Round 2!

Would be amazing if you guys could put together a lil series for schools and educational systems. What they teach about Gettysburg in school is bleak. I think it would be tremendous and get way more kids involved about preserving and respecting our history

I want to go there I'm from New Jersey

Hello from Peoria ILLINOIS the of Lincoln and Reagan

✌

At first I was a little confused about being told 7:47 Reynolds was killed without explanation of how and when. Luckily the next commentator revealed how. Remember your viewers don’t know as much as you so unless the story is told fully it gets confusing. Thank you.

154th PA vol inf 11 Corps, this soldier Michael was a father/ soldier, who returned to duty on july,20,1863, he died I the 1880s, Capt Howe hid his sword, but was in a Confed hospital St xavier catholic church, then later after they left he recovered his sword, gave it to his daughter years later. Interesting, Whatever you do don't play pirates with these swords, as a lot of kids did?

If it's possible could you do a video about Confederate artillery,it just seems they get a bad reputation because of Gettysburg, mainly day 3 of the battle right before the charge.

I need to look for an account of a Union soldier fleeing through the streets of Gettysburg with his pants around his ankles because he intentionally dropped his belt buckle on the battlefield.

And jhonson blocks the chambersburg pike up with all of ewell,s wagon trains !

Hancock arrived barely in the nick of time to preserve Culp’s Hill!

Just made another pledge With pride and because of your mentioning the 6th Wi

Any new plans to interpret the area that was the old golf course?

I don't know if it was in this video, but Garry spoke about what he considers the best single volume book on Gettysburg. Does anyone know what that was?

HAIL GENERALS BUFORD & MEADE!!!!!!!

This is a tradition for me and that is because of the American Battlefield Trust. You are doing a fantastic job. Thank you

Fantastic as always!

Ohio here

Garry has totally tried to climb out of the railroad cut

I disagree with Chris's evaluation of the Confederate failure being based in part on the restructuring of the Confederate Army. Ewell at least proved more than competent in his direct of Second Winchester. And at the initial point and time of impact the Union Command structure was a hot mess, particularly after the heedless death of Reynolds. To me the real cause of the Confederate defeat is the absolute failure of the Confederate Commander to utilize the cavalry on hand for adequate recon. With proper understanding of his opposition, Heth, even though he's a tyro with the AONV, would have probably swamped Buford fairly quickly. They would not have been looking over their shoulders pondering the casualties they had sustained over the past year. When their lines broke, one wonders if the Union Army, with an unfortunate legacy of defeat, would have been able to retain Unit integrity.

11th Corps Broke first. ;)

You guys do great work

I had several Great-Great Grandfathers and one Great Grandfather as well as many cousins and other relatives who served the Union and unfortunately the Johnny Rebs in the Civil War and Gettysburg in particular. One of those was Robert E. Lee. Other relatives lived in Gettysburg as civilians at the time of the battle, So I am personally connected to it in several ways.

Garry is the man !

The town name is actually pronounced Gettisburg. Gary chooses to mispronounce it. I'm sorry that so many people follow his lead.

No offense But I'm not a fan of Sara, sorry
