Ranger Matt Atkinson and the Mysterious Red Shirt Man lead a battle walk regarding George H. Steuart's Brigade and their actions on Culp's Hill. Ranger Atkinson, the MRSM, and the NPS hold the rights to their lecture and notes.
Some of the Confederates took a ship around South America and landed in Coos Bay, Oregon and settled southern Oregon after Rogue River War with the Indians. Those Indians who weren't married to white guys were put on reservations. Many a white man survived out here cuz his Indian wife knew medicinal plants, how to make watertight weave baskets, how to make pemmican (dried meat or fish and berries) , how to tell death camas from edible camas, and the seasons and lay of the land. Indians knew where it flooded, so wouldn't build there. They made flour out of the acorns, you have to boil out the bitter stuff, then dry it, then pound it into flour, good plant protein.
Talking about Powers hill, there's Powers, Oregon which the original white settlers were Confederates from North Carolina, who settled there in the 1870s, because their property in NC was destroyed in Civil War. They still have an original cabin you can visit, that has 1 or electric 💡 s that were put in cuz it was lived in until 1960s, and you can actually see the old irons, pots, dishes, a butter churn, Bible, etc.
We have wolverines in the Wallowa Mountains of Oregon but they are very reclusive. We also have wolves in the Blue Mountains of Oregon. Sometimes we can hear them howling at night or early morning.
Tea tree oil helps repel ticks since they don't like the smell. You can use oil or tea tree soap. I use it before I do lawn work. You can use it and deet insect spray.
Matt is an amazing guide with great detail and humorous to boot. A hat tip to "the mysterious red shirt man" too. Visiting Gettysburg from the UK 22nd/23rd June 2024 and so looking forward to having a great experience.
🙏where was stone wall Jackson during the battle? Why isn’t this told or showed ? Like he wasn’t important? Or lease I feel he is forgotten ?even in Gods and generals. He wasn’t shown? Or what happened? Just lee chewing out Stonewall Jackson.. after he was absent from the unit.
Matt's great---THE CAMERA OPERATOR COULD BE REPLACED BY A TRIPOD, A TOTAL ZOMBIE. HE HOLDS TO CAMERA LOCKED ON MATT, HE NEVER PANS THE CAMERA. MATT WILL POINT AWAY AT SOMETHING, DOES THE CAMERAS FOLLOW MATTS SIGNAL AND TURN IN THAT DIRECTION?.......NO! THIS OPERATOR STAYS LOCKED ON MATT STILL POINTING.
I suspect that the Michigan Wolverines comes from Custer during a charge at Gettysburg saying, 'Come on, you Wolverines". Likewise, LSU Tigers comes from the Confederate Louisiana Tiger brigade.
