The Assault on Little Round Top at Gettysburg: Gettysburg 158 Live! 

As you said : Can’t get enough !!!

I nominate Garry to be the next Ed Bearss! Big shoes to fill but Adelman’s got what it takes.

I'd love to be in a civil War reenactment,

@@jorgemartinpaez4376 Get involved! I started on Cannon, then went Infantry! So fun, but the best part is after hours. We play the time period, and no cell phones or anything out of period is allowed. You get to time travel, and feel what it is like to be in 1862. Every state has an org, start with attending an event, then see if you would like to try it out! So amazing!

Gary is a brilliant man with a great sense of humor

@@stevenmay2937 he's really not. Energetic, yes. Animated, definitely

Passionate yes goofy definitely not

Have you seen the movie Gettysburg yet? If not it's a must see if you like these videos. Good to hear from ya!

Watch Gettysburg the movie!! I see the war from the Southern perspective, many don't! Ideologically the war was fought over the illegal and treasonous implementation of a Federal Nationalized Democracy. The Union in 1776 was established as a Constitutional Confederate Republic built on the principles of sovereign Nation State's that would self govern themselves through decentralized, Anti-Federalist governance! CON=Anti FEDERACY=Federal Anti-Federalist. Geographically the war was fought over Northern aggression for westward expansion. Many are not taught that the Native Americans fought with the Confederacy, the reason being is that the father's of the Confederacy believed in private property right's. The last Confederate General to surrender was a Native American who was the leader of the Cherokee territory. The Union not only conquered Confederate territory, but also Native American territories. This is not taught in public "education" for the simple reason that it goes against the "Confederacy is racist" narrative. Anyways God bless and if you are ever in the State's you should visit Gettysburg, PA! God Bless 🇺🇸❌

@@rebelsoul5980 Such bullshit. It was about slavery. Why do you reckon the confederate states were so enamored with anti-Federalism? SO THEY COULD OWN PEOPLE. It's really that simple.

Well said.

How many confederates were still around in the immediate proximity when they launched the "clean-up" engagement?

Meigs

Suicide by geography?

Sickles made it very clear what he was thinking. His orders were to attach his right to the left of the 2nd corps (around what now is now the Pa. Monument). He could not get all his men on top of LRT plus if he had, he would have left nearly a mile long gap in the Union line. Traveling south from the Pa monument to the Wheatfield Road to the Northern edge of LRT descends greatly. The ground there is very low and it was wooded to the west. Sickles was concerned that Confederates would get artillery in the Peach Orchard and fire down on him. Also, Sickles noted that the Peach Orchard/Emmitsburg Road line was high ground ground he liked for artillery and infantry. Two months earlier at Chancellorsville the Confederates had the high ground in front of him and he got shot up from artillery. He didn’t want that to happen again. I’m not saying I agree with what Sickles did but that was his reasoning. Check out LBG Jim Hessler’s book on the Peach Orchard. Outstanding.

@@chrismiller8959 Great info.! Thanks Chris!!

@@chrismiller8959 Thanks, but I think you missed my sarcasm, as in WTF was Sickles thinking. I wasn't suggesting that Sickles attempt to put his whole corps on LRT and leave a gap between him and the II Corps, that would be more ridiculous than moving his corps into a salient position a mile in advance of the main line with both flanks in the air. What I am observing is that Sickles already had the high ground (the north slope) to emplace artillery which would dominate the Peach Orchard and any infantry advance towards his line. Sickles may have had his reasons, but none of them make military sense, and when viewed from that ground it should be clear to anybody that he blundered.

Who are the scholars who liked My comments

Where? I want to see that !

@@ANASTASIA-ANGEL you must look beyond what you see

I'm an old artist. I've seen some great art depicting some of the battles of the civil war and some of my favorites are from Tom Lovell, a commercial artist. As a kid there was a series in Life Magazine in the early 1960's that had some fabulous art, maps and old photography telling the stories of the battles.

It from de his you mean but mostly I depicted the novel the Killer Angels better than the battle.

Please don't let it be some money grabbing sacrilage!!

@@meemo32086 I looked it up, it's for rehabilitation like new paths and trails and some other things

@@jasonroberts6080 oh, good!! Phew!!
