The Fight for Barlow’s Knoll: 157th Anniversary of Gettysburg Live! (Day 1) 

This is awesome, my great great grand father was in the 59th OVI GAR and fought at Perryville (Reserve) but was on the front at the battle of Stone River. Have a journal entry from him where he talks about watching Confederate soldiers pick cotton as they March across the field and stuffing the cotton balls in their ears because of the deafening sound of the weapons firing. Our family has been in literally every war from 7 years to today, I served 13 years in the Navy and Army, blue to green, and my nephew is in the 173rd Airborne! Proud of our family and history and thank you BFT for what you do! From Kentucky we support you all!

This is extremely well done. I have followed the 107th Ohio for many years. They were engaged at this position. Thanks so much for this fine presentation.

Watching from Bakewell England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 magic really enjoying

Thank you to both Battlefield Trust and NPS. These shows are filled with wisdom, respect and humility all conveyed in an entertaining way. Godspeed

I really like the way that all of the presenters have orchestrated how they're going to work together to tell the story and make good transitions between sections!

I love this format, this is the best way to learn about Civil War battles!!

Hey Gary. You are great. Keep up the enthusiasm. As a teacher I did what you do make it exciting!!!! If people have a problem. Well they are probably jealous!Thanks

So many incredible stories from Gettysburg and the Civil War.

Thank you for this episode. One of my forefathers was Orderly Sergeant John Seiple of Company F, 153d Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, he later died of his wounds (lockjaw) on July 8th. Google Maps and the few out of print books about this unit can do so much but your outstanding footage and expert commentary brought it to life.

Thank you to the Civil War Battlefield Trust for eternal preserving this Hallowed Ground.

Love the shout-out for our friends at the Battle of Gettysburg Podcast!

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL news at the end of the video!!!! That's fantastic!!

I’m following you guys all weekend. I love these videos and Garry and the rest just brings history to life for me. Thank you

Some day I will see the Gettysburg battlefield Thank You so much!

In an age when it seems like people want to destroy our past and our history. I want to thank you all for doing what you're doing

I had family in the 60th Georgia fought at Barlows knoll.

My thrice-great grandfather, Thomas Malloney, survived Gettysburg and that is why I am here today.

Isaac Womble one of my Ancestors was wounded there with the 20th NC Infantry Company D he was a seargent.

I’m so happy to be a member of ABT.

Great Video Guys!

At 16:30, you failed to mention the moving encounter when General Gordon comes upon the wounded Francis Barlow. It is Gordon who is responsible for moving Barlow to the Benner farm, and quite probably, the saving of his life. It is one of the more poignant moments of those three days.

Chris was our guide, when we visited. You can tell, he really likes his job.

Great story about the NYT.

Beautiful day for the 157th. Blue sky and fluffy white clouds with gorgeous green vegetation. Wonder what the sky looked like 7/1/1863. If it could even be seen with all the smoke and carnage. This is truly hollowed ground for all Americans, and civilisation globally. Dave

My ancestor was in Company H, 97th Regiment PA Volunteer Infantryman

My GG Grandfather Private Edward Unangst fought for the 153rd Pennsylvania Company C

You were an absolute walking miracle if you survived that war mini ball's grape and canister the food and disease hiking and fighting In The Heat Of Summer in a full woolen uniform. Yes a absolute miracle

My GG Grandfather Capt. Henry Penfield Burr 17th CT. Volunteer Co.E

Love it!

great presentation!!

Had a forebear wounded at Barlow's Knoll.

Lee never ordered his army to concentrate at Gettysburg. The troops converged on the town because of the developing fight near it.

nothing is permanent.

10:05 Sam Wilkerson of the NY Times "was pro-Lincoln, pro-Union, and pro-War, until July 1, 1863 (when his son died)... by 1864 he became anti-Lincoln, anti-Union, and anti-War." This is the classic weak-willed response to adversity for which I have little sympathy. It is as if these people never bother to think about the realities of what they are really saying they support. He was all gung ho as long as OTHER people's sons died, but completely caves in his convictions when adversity hits home. Believe it or not (and you can read it for yourself) that is one of the underlying lessons of the Gospels and especially as witnessed in the life of Saint Paul as told by Luke in the book of Acts, that is, staying true to your convictions by overcoming adversity by patient perseverance, with both eyes wide open as to what your getting yourself into when you believe something.

Read the Regimental history of the Wisconsin German (most from Milwaukee )troops during their time at this battle action and it was chaotic. I feel bad for this poor corps, so badly handled

Wondering what weird germanic food could possibly be!

Recently discovered that General Francis Channing Barlow is my distant cousin. He's my 6th Cousin 6x Removed

Gary, is there a way to chat with u? Just ask questions? Ur awesome!

11th core off chancerville fame run boy run

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever should believe in him will have everlasting life John 3:16

Oh man - Mr Adelman - take a chill pill or tie your arms behind your back. Melodrama and anxiety personified! You could people nuts! Good info though- thanks

8:30 your head asplode!

Ahem, Our Republic, not a democracy….

I think he's wearing a skirt. The camera never comes down past his third from top shirt button. As an old camera/videotape operator it drove me nuts.. What's going on down there? is he waist deep in a jello pool ? I'll just turn up the volume and go in the other room, I can't watch and listen imagining what the heck is going on down there, he's on his wife's shoulders... ok ok... enough sorry Dan.. my family were Pennsylvania residents during the revolutionary war I know from the Schell farm. I am directly descended from the family that fought with the Union out of Kansas. Sadly I'm not privy to the particulars. Different family I know they came over in the 1830's from Germany direct to Kansas to farm (and they still do) but we all from Alsace Lorraine. I am a very dedicated west coast Schell myself.. I wonder if any of us were there in the 11th? Thank You so much for the video! It's awesome information you just don't get easy, You Rock!

nope. They try to substitute in animated arm waving and hype rather than just providing substance. Yelling about a man getting his blown off is probably better for a group of Jr High kids on a tour. The Ranger was not bad, but as we have said before Adelman and Douds are just a distraction.
