Thank you Wayne and the Gettysburg Foundation for these videos. My wife and I were in Gettysburg this past week and walked the entire West Cemetery Hill that was featured in this video. Two weeks ago, we walked Green Lawn Cemetery in Columbus, OH. as we watched Wayne’s video on that. We love it! Keep up the great work.
Great Wayne - Thanks! My wife & I are 'Friends' and enjoy visiting when we can. Ironically, we were biking the battlefield last weekend and were on Queen Street. We have also stayed in the Welty house on a previous trip. Your walk really connected the dots for me.
Great explanation of the participants and locations of the units. It’s difficult to imagine the actions in that area. Your detailed explanation of what was and wasn’t there at the time of the battle was super duper!
Excellent video, Wayne ! I have a much much better idea of the fighting that went on in the skirmish line. Something I was never able to put together on my own thanks.
Suggestions for some "walks" in the fall - (1) Skirmish line activity of the 2nd Corps west of the Emmitsburg Road (not just the "Bliss Farm"); (2) Skirmish line activity of the 3rd Corps west of the Emmitsburg Road (not just the Berdan's Sharpshooters); (3) A walk from the Alabama Monument, Bushman's Hill, Plum Run / Devil's Den & Kitchen and Big Round Top - including the "split" of the Brigade; (4) A walk from the Texas Monument, Plum Run / Devil's Den & Kitchen and Little Round Top - including the "split" of the Brigade;- from (5) Wilcox & Lang Brigades on July 2 from Spangler's Woods to Plum Run; (6) Confederate skirmish line activity on July 3 west of the Emmitsburg Road prior and including "Pickett's" Charge; (7) 26th North Carolina (or Pettigrew's Brigade) from Herr Ridge over Willoughby Run (thru the Golf Course!);
