LIVE Gettysburg Artifacts at The Horse Soldier: Gettysburg 160 

Such an awesome store with a treasure trove of things to see.

Amazing uniforms. Love and respect 🫡 to Americans on both sides! 🇸🇴🇺🇸

Love the Horse Soldier, wonderful inventory and great people.

Always love the horse soldier! There no better museum disguised as a store in Gettysburg!

I love these civil war era artifacts!!!

I love these. Thank you 🙏

Keep up the great work, these artifact videos are some of the best videos you put out.

Dang! I want to buy something. My GG Grandfather fought with the Mississippi 7th Company I.

Excellent presentation of uniforms, great displays and very informative 😎✌️

what a tour .. was at both Gettysburg 160th events and did see ABT filming.. *LIKED* the video

I'm loving all of your uploaded 160 content. I know 2 reenactors participating in the 160th portraying CSA soldiers. They made the trip from the Toronto, Ontario region. The relic in the sailor's display case is called a sailmaker's palm...as in palm and needle work. Most likely belonged to a Bosun (Boatswain) or Bosun's Mate. Most Able Seamen wouldn't need one as most of their canvas work was on lighter fabric to make and repair clothing. The pointy wooden dowel with the rounded end next to it is called a fid. It's used for separating the strands of rope for splicing. The Bosuns were, and still are to this day, responsible for all the rope and sail work/repairs.

The BEST shop in Gettysburg! Can’t wait to pick up my order next week, luv you guys, see you then!

The item for the hand with the sailor uniform is called a sail palm, and are still being used to this day. I'm a retired Navy Boatswain's Mate.

You guys need to stop into Casteel Sculptures on Baltimore Street heading out of GBURG, next to the Cemetery Gatehouse. Gary Casteel, renowned sculptor of the James Longstreet memorial at GBURG, sculps and sells miniature replicas of Civil War monuments in exacting detail. Talk about an original souvenir from GBURG - tough to beat!

It always amazes me how collectors amass all these treasures. It is amazing that the artifacts have survived so well at 160 years old. I would be there for hours to see everything. Amazing. Wow!

Kris--Did you see the fellow wearing my green Berdan Sharpshooter t-shirt at the door? Small world.

I was there Tuesday wed too bad it was closed enjoy weekend

I wish these artifacts could be protected in a museum. Enjoyed the video.

Very nice shape the uniforms. Army corp of Engineers and the Navy. The Horse Soldier is a great museum. Large collection of that. Soldiers relics. Thanks Gary. For the tour.

Fantastic video love watching you and some of the places that you been to keep up the good work from England 🤠🤠🤠👍👍

Thanks for this tour.

Amazing

Absolutely lovely Artillery Jacket and Vest.

These are exquisite artifacts that SHOULD be in museums. Sad to see them just sold as souvenirs. But I realize everything these days has a price

Amazing! Thanks

Great video !!!

thanks.

Was just there on Monday - way too expensive for my blood...

Very neat.

One Word. FANTASTIC... ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Greedings from Germany 😊

Thanks to G.A. for saying the "clump of trees" rather than the redundant "copse of trees" that is so much used at the Gettysburg battlefield and related literature. After all, education is important whether it is history or proper English.

Great folks, great shop! I bought a bayonet from Little Round Top and shell fragments from them many years ago -- super-trustworthy and legit - and nice!

As a Californiain living in South Carolina, I’ve been… educated that is U-Gee

It's a sailor's Palm

Hi, Garry, I certainly enjoyed the video. Could you address the typical size of the Civil War soldiers? The uniforms you displayed look like Childs clothing. I thought you were going to say that vest was for a soldier's young son, not the soldier himself.

Fantastic shop - I never go to Gettysburg without checking them out. Question for the folks there: would someone there take the time to look at a CW canteen that I acquired if I brought it by on my next trip?

Wow. They mocked the person who was concerned about not wearing gloves. That was out of line. I was wondering the same thing.

I was at the horse solder many years ago loved that place just wondering do still go to Mansfield ohio Civil War show i bought two framed prints from you i haven't been there for years need to start going again thanks

If I had the money I'd buy everything in that store.

👍👍👍

It looks as if my collection will remain 2 Minie balls I purchased years ago!

Our reenacting and historical research group has a website, Facebook, RU-vid channel, and Instagram devoted to that USCT regiment (1st La. Engrs.). It was split in two after the Siege of Port Hudson as 1st and 3rd Corps d'Afrique. During the Red River Campaign (3rd) and while in Texas (1st) designated as the 97th and 95th USCTs. The 97th USCT was a VERY important regiment in the Department of the Gulf and would be one of the longest serving USCT regiments of the war. I am currently working on writing a regimental history of that regiment. Our website has several pages about that regiment. You find us by Googling 97th USCT.

I'm happy to see the coat for the U.S.C.T. United States Colored Troops who fought to save the USA and end African American slavery.

I bought a sword from The Horse Soldier probably 30 years ago.

4:19 It’s called a palm.

It’s called a sail palm

At 2:22 he is showing a uniform and i don't get what he is getting at . He states " created this emblem after verdun" and that is a WW1 battle. site. Douamond at Verdun is started in 1885. There is no Verdun fortification i know of. What reference is he using ?

Cannot hear you.

I'm surprised a Confederate uniform is allowed within Pennsylvania state borders.. after the reactionary removal of Confederate symbols from seminary' reenactments (and other governor ordered ban on Confederate flags). Pennsylvania's noble experiment in purging Confederate symbols, designed to improve race relations. Are the results in yet? Does PA have better race relations now that reenactors can't fly battle flags? Is society more civil, less prone to crime, etc.. all the issues that are supposedly spawned (in part) by the Confederate flag? Couldn't displaying that Confederate uniform set race relations back again, is it not a more authentic artifact of White supremacy than a reproduction of a battle flag ? Where is the moral consistency of Pennsylvanians..

I think the CSA uniform needs to be shot full of holes. LOL

The man with the hat on did he drink to much coffee or doing drugs he is way to fast talking and wants to try on an original confederate artillery officer tunic what is he smoking

TERRIBLE AUDIO I STOPPED WACHING.

Needs to be louder.
