The Battle of Petersburg Begins at Battery #5: Petersburg Video Tour! 

I love this channel. Can't wait to retire and just travel from one battlefield to another. I love History. Thank you Gary. Thank you all so much.

Perfect timing for this trip. I'll be visiting Petersburg for the first time in June.

Good video! My 2nd great grandfather fought at Petersburg with the 149th PA Bucktails. I did a lot reading on their unit back 35 years ago and visited many of the places they fought including Petersburg.

Really interesting, brilliant job guys!

Great job guys! I love Mr Greene's books on Petersburg!

These tours are fantastic ! Thank you for keeping history alive.

Will Greene is awesome. Just an exceptional educator! I subscribed ... dont want to miss a thing!

I've loved every video you folks have done.

Fantastic series!! Thanks Wilson and Garry.

The Timothy Rives Farm on Jerusalem Plank Road hosted numerous batterys (26, 25, 24, 23, maybe 27 and Fort Mahone). It was the scene of the initial June 9, 1864 Battle of Old Boys and Young Men. The union looted, then burnt down the family home and destroyed the family Cemetery. Timothy, in his 60s, was taken POW to Point Lookout POW camp in Maryland. I found the location of his home and family Cemetery. He was my cousin.

I've been to Petersburg and toured the field twice, but it is nice to have some play by play commentary to help better understand what went on in each spot.

Thank You!

I just bought Mr Greene's book on audible and I am looking forward to listening to it.

Always quality videos very informative

I was at No 5 last Halloween weekend, its a nice site.

Interesting, Thanks

Really good 👍 will is great

I cannot get enough of Grant. Crossing the James river. Is there a whole book on it? Maybe Gary can write it

Essentially General Grant pulled off the crossing of the James River like he did in crossing the Mississippi south of Vicksburg a year before.

Yeah Gary love it love it

Come on over to Hopewell Virginia..

Petersburg I think was the perfect consol of the end of the war, slaughter, total war, and a preview of the true scale that was could be industrialized

It’s crazy they worry about scene but they don’t knock down the trees, I wish they had ALOT MORE recreations kinda like how hey have at Andersonville

Please take some money and invest in some pro audio equipment. The fluctuations in volume, the wind in the mic ruins videos. I'm sure I'm not the only one listening with hearing loss. That being said I love the channel.

Tremendous.

First. Really cool.
