"General Lee....I have no Division."

Got to spend time with Mr. Lang while filming God's and Generals. Great man and a great Jackson.

Stephen is a real history buff. He came to DC one time to celebrate lincoln's birthday. Thank you for sharing this.

Love Stephen Lang. Great actor. Love the West Point artifacts. The field glasses of General Warren is the most important artifact. With those glasses he changed the outcome of the battle, the war, and American history.

Mr. Lang is a great, great actor! Always riveting in his performances.

Thanks J.D., when you can't get to the history, J.D. brings the history to us.

His depiction of Ike in Tombstone is so awesome. One of those movies you basically have to watch if it comes on tv. Mandatory viewing.

No one played Doc Holladay better than Val Kilmer in Tombstone. I agree, AWESOME movie.

They tried to tell Stephen the tour was over but he responded "Law don't go around here, savvy?"

A question I ask myself, would I have The Stones to do that? To go out with the 1st Minnesota Knowing it was suicide? Like They Knew. To march across that field with Pickett's Division? Knowing it was suicide? Like They Knew. The courage of those men always astounds me.

Very cool to see Steven Lang's reaction and how proud Andrew was about what the ACHS accomplished with the museum. Glad to see you back 👍

Val Kilmer should have won an Oscar

Ike Clanton !!! You fiend !!! You Villian!!! What a brilliant actor.

When I heard Stephen Lang speak at the beginning of the museum, it brought tears to my eyes. Very moving!

Very professional and well done. When he plays Ike in Toombstone, he looks much shorter than he does in person. The movie Toombstone just had its 30 year reunion last month. It was held in Toombstone, Arizona. From the interviews I have seen with Mr Lang, he seems very genuine and personable.

In the first ten seconds of the video my jaw dropped. My cousin was at Barlow's Knoll with the 153rd Pennsylvania Volunteers and got wounded in the stomach. Nobody ever really know how -- but he had medical complications for his whole life and his whole personality changed after the war. Some said it was a bayonet, others a bullet. Later generations would have diagnosed him with PTSD. Gettysburg ruined his life. Such a tragic and haunting place.

I ran across Stephen Lang years ago in Gibsland, Louisiana. He was the nicest most down to earth guy. He even came over to meet my then wife, dad and mom. I'll always he a fan of his!

As a Vietnam veteran, my first visit to Gettysburg we took the bus tour and I was overwhelmed by the extent of the battle. I had no idea. Hope all Americans get to visit it and see how much was paid for our country. We can't let this country go.

Stephen is so cool. And even though the movie Gettysburg was made a long time ago it's still an excellent movie today because the work for me was taken from the book killer angels. It brought those men to brilliant life. And I truly feel even though it is just a movie, All the information we have about the Civil War and about the soldiers and generals, when you go to a battlefield all that makes your experience so much better. 😊 I think the Civil War is one of the most important times in our country and we are still dealing with the problems from its failures today. And that these battlefield should always be protected. And I ask that everyone look at the lens of history through the context in which the time it happened. Confederates are not traitors to modern day Americans. They lived a different life than we do. But both sides respected each other for the suffering they shared in the end. And please never forget out of many, We Are One people undivided. It's true that out of many states We Are One, But that's not the total point of that. It is each of us as individuals that make us up one whole country. And we should be careful to trust anyone who seeks to divide us against each other. Because these battlefields and their dead have already decided that question.

I'm sure he doesn't remember me, but I was fortunate enough to meet Stephen on the sets of both Gettysburg and God's And Generals. Absolutely wonderful individual.

Love Stephen Lang amazing Actor

One of my favorite actors of today.

I am a West Point Class of 2015 graduate - the amount of history at West Point (and the West Point Museum) is endless! Highly recommend possibly going and making a series out of it, I think you'd really enjoy it. Many many important historical figures are buried at West Point's cemetery as well.

Cant wait to see that museum

I can't think of a comment any better than the ones i just read from all these nice people, so i'll just say thank you History Underground for sharing with us these videos especially those who wish we could spend more time in Gettysburg and as for myself i always learn more every time i watch......Stephen Lang seems to be such a gentleman and obviously a great actor.

Mr. Lang is Awesome!

Absolutely one of the best people, Stephen Lang gets it and what it means to give history a voice and for that I say thank you. Keep up the good work JD!

Stephen done awesome job as Stonewall jackson in Gods and Generals and Pickett in Gettysburg!!

How surreal to see the man behind the voice standing listening to his words.

Stephen Lang was convincing playing Stonewall Jackson and made me appreciate Jackson's character and faith.

Stonewall Jackson was his best role in Civil War films.

Thank you so much for such an amazing video, some of my friends from the 72nd Pennsylvania took part in the recent 160th Reenactment Gettysburg battle recently. It is great that Stephan Lang has taken so much interest in Gettysburg and the Civil War .His contribution as an actor and to the Museum is very much appreciated in the Education of Civil War history .

Thank you and Steven Lang, best Stonewall Jackson ever! “Gods and Generals”. Been going to Gettysburg for the last 7 years and still haven’t seen everything… always sometime new. Keep the Gettysburg Spirit alive!

Awesome actor and this channel is one of the best on KZfaq!!

Love Stephen Lang! Thanks for the video JD!

Splendid to see Aaron Rowland ( formerly Pvt. Rowland of the 36th Illinois Volunteer infantry Regiment (reenacted), doing well and thank you for your real service.

Great vid JD. Picked up my nephew, a cadet at West Point a year ago and had two hours to go through their fantastic museum! If you go there and are musically inclined also visit the site of the Woodstock festival in nearby Bethel.

glad your channel is back on

great video and history lesson. Lang made a perfect Pickett in Gettysburg. i remember it well!! thanks JD

He is really good at everything. His portrayal of Picket made me a fan but when he took on the role of Stonewall Jackson he was truly amazing. It's so cool that he involves himself like many of the BOB guys. The museum looks awesome. Thank you JD 👍🏼😎

Stephen Lang. Wonderful man actor, an human being

What a special museum! Is my incentive to finally travel to see Gettysburg. Can’t wait !!! 😎

It’s refreshing to see an individual who plays Civil War parts that really enjoys the history of it as much as all of us do and not that he was picked for a part and then just moves on because it’s a job. Well done…..

Oh that’s awesome! Always a fav of mine from Band of the Hand to Don’t Breathe and The Hard Way!!

Great video!! Mr. Lang was a great cop show...Crime Story

Wow Mr. Lang seems genuinely impressed!!✌️🇺🇲

What I remember most about the movie was his huge smile as Pickett. CLASSIC!

Steven brought so much to rendering the personalities of the civil war to life to re-invigorate interest in the topic, and for that, he has made a massive cultural impact, as have you my history-loving brother. I’m a Virginian now living in the south of France rather than south of Richmond, but these reports help me feel like I’m almost there :) Many thanks to all the passion and work you share for us, and I hope you have recovered from the theft in Greece and are as driven as always to share your energy with us civil war geeks :) Bravo and thanks again!

When I did the immersive experience last year, I sat in a chair...and wondered as I sat there...just how many of the bullets that were illuminating around me would have actually struck me. Scary. Between that thought and watching the shadows of the Confederates running by the window in combination were incredibly scary.

Beautifully done as always, J.D. Thank you.

"You tell 'em, Ike..I'm coming, and Hells coming with me!"-Kurt Russell to Stephen Lang in Tombstone Sometimes its hard to believe this man plays such intimidating characters, after watching Tombstone.

Stephen Lang was absolutely amazing and gallent as Pickett. Tom berringer also amazing

As a artillerist I really appreciate your video starting with a bang. For the reason that you were involved in the civil war and I as a Dane had ancestors fighting against the German army in 1864 it feels like we have a seldom kinship in using the same type of weapons and tactics for the era.. And shout out to Mr Lang. Looking good as always and thanks for your work on historical movies and other great initiatives.

Look forward to the museum next visit…

this is amazing Jd, thanks bro... I think Steven lang is great guy ..Thank you once again bro . really amazing work . I love the hold Civil war history from the US . ,,Just not bother killing brother part of its history JD.. amazing show. I pray this never happens again to the USA

To The History Traveler: That was Totally Fascinating and I'm just Completely Overwhelmed by the Thoroughness of Your Video. I'M First going to Apologize for forgetting Your Names, meaning the Narrator of the Video. I'M now & always have had trouble Remembering them. Back to the Video, & Episode. IT was Fantastic, Mr Stephen Lang, has always been a Favorite Celebrity, of Mine. Especially Since His Portrall of that Dashing Martinet General George Pickett in The Ted Turner Network, Production of the Film, GETTYSBURG and His Role in God's and General's as well. He is a True Entrepreneur of The Acting Profession. Quite Honestly too Me everything He's Done is just so Believable and Phenomenal? IT's like He's Taken Ones Soul, into that Character's Soul. He's GREAT. As for You Recently being in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. For the 160th Anniversary? WoW 😣😳 is that Not Fantastic as well? For Me it's been a Lifetime Dream 😜🙂 too Some Day, Visit the Battlefield. But also Travel further up North too Blooming Valley, Pennsylvania. To the Local Cemetery, where My late Father's Side of Our Family, is Buried There. That Last Name is WAID, & from prior Family History's, had a rather long Tenure of Duration in That Region. So as I Really Hope too Accomplish this Quest, or Venture, In the Next Few Years? Of Course the Battlefield's of Those Region's will be Part of the Itinerary For Certain. Well I've Said Enough. So Thank You so Much for Having The Privilege of Watching & Hearing Your Episodes. They Are Fascinating as I Said. May God Bless US All & Keep Us Safe. Wyoming, Robert, 🇨🇦🇺🇲🇨🇦🇺🇲🇨🇦🇺🇸👍🤔👀🤔👍🙏🙏🙏🙏.

I have missed seeing him everytime I'm in gettysburg. He is my favorite actor. I wish there was a way to find out when he is coming there so I could meet him.

I remember hearing Mr Lang reading the Gettysburg Address he did an excellent job that brought tears just hearing it.

He did the most believable Jackson I have ever seen or heard of.

Love Stephen Lang. He was amazing as both Pickett and Jackson.

Well done. As a Hoosier I noted the car with the University of Notre Dame plate in the parking lot and the words found on the flag at the end.

Thanks JD - was there on June 26th :) .

That little area with Thaddeus Stevens is SUCH A HIDDEN GEM! I almost need to go see that chair and those books, such amazing rare tidbits of such an awesome historical figure who is less known but probably one of the best stories

Mannnn I live right down the road (past caledonia). Wish I would have known he was gonna be there. I visit Gettysburg often, took my college courses there, and it’s an odd feeling being there. The town is frozen in time, a lot of the shops are set in civil war era, and you can still find bullet holes in the houses. Standing on the fields where thousands of men gave their lives is surreal. If you haven’t come to Gettysburg, you need to.

I loved Stephen Lang since I saw him in a movie called Band of the Hand. My stepfather had family who saw him in a play. Talked to him later. Said he was extremely warm and inviting.

Great job, JD! Loved this video. Feeling highly motivated to get to Gettysburg asap.

Great job as always. It was great to meet you at the seminary program. I'm looking forward to when you do some more revolutionary war videos and when you come to NJ, it would be my pleasure to show you around the Battle of Monmouth.

Stephen Lang , one of my favourite actors !!

such a renowned actor giving his blessings on such a wonderful place, as to remember a time in our history!

We went there today. The caught in the crossfire was cool. Going in the house was very realistic. You feel the vibrations from the cannon fire and fighting. You hear the voices of the soldiers. To realize the citizens of Gettysburg were stuck in their cellars for two to three days and then to come out and see the carnage and destruction is unimaginable. A lot to see at this museum.

Last thursday, I was visited by a small delegation,[two majors and an LTC] from FIRST ARMY headquarters located on the ROCK ISLAND arsenal, informing me that I'm being involuntarily, activated from the retired reserve, to active duty, because of my Russian,German, and Austrian language skills, coupled with my logistics experience at both CORPS(europe) and theater army(KOREA) levels. on Friday, I passed my pre-induction physical at my Davenport, Iowa VA clinic at age 71. I have orders to report to fort McCoy, WI on 1 aug 2023, for refresher training,prior to my deployment to europe (Germany)

We really have no need for another actor to ever play Stonewall. We practically had the real deal with Lang. Brilliant performance.

Stephan Lang added so much depth to Pickett.

I was just waiting for Stephen to put his hands on his hips and say " You're not in Kansas anymore! You're on Pandora!"🤣

Top drawer as always , Unsure if asked before by others . maybe you have or you've been there and i've missed that video .. Do you also visit and feature the locations in the other Civil War film ... Glory

Great video, one of my favorites. Love Stephen Lang.

Wonderful that you were able to be there for the 160th Anniversary.

I love Mr. Lang, a remarkable actor. Thank you so much for this video!

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing

Really cool and super interesting. Looking forward to visiting the Museum this summer

Love Mr Langs work. Under rated actor.

Have a good week JD.

Thank you for this video. I visited during the 160th. Video gave me goosebumps just as my exciting visit to the museum

If you haven’t been to the WWII Museum in New Orleans you should go if you have the chance. Another eye opening experience with some immersive aspects. All of this American history that so few know. Tens of thousands of young men have given everything for us to live as we do today. We need to ensure that all of these young men didn’t die for nothing. When the time comes, and it will, we all need to do our parts to destroy the invaders coming in across the borders to take this country from us because they think we’re weak. We need to make sure that they know we aren’t and make them pay for every step they take in OUR country. GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Fascinating! What a wonderful job you did presenting this material to us. Absolutely loved it!

Stephen Lang was excellent in the Crime Story series in 1986.

Awesome JD as always

Just got back from Gettysburg. Spent weekend there and visited the museum. My daughter actually slept through the room believe it or not 😆. Also experienced the WW2 museum. Was amazing. Wouldn't of known about either if wasn't for you JD. Thank you for sharing these places in your videos.

Stephen Lang is an Actor. That has done a film there. So. His input was great. And the West Point artifacts saw most of them on the 160 Series of Videos. Grants bar from Vicksburg was something I had not seen. Grant was from Galena Illinois. Been there many a time. Had Scouting jamboree’s there. Plus my grandparents lived there. Thanks JD for this thoughtful tour. ❤️💯👍

True valuable and entertaining content. You should be so proud of what you do.

What a great actor.

I haven't been to this one, but been to Pamphlin Park. That one really life like. Worth a trip IMHO.

Quaritch/Pickett/Elias Walker is such a nice chap.

I always thought he was outstanding playing the roll of Jackson in Gods/Generals

How do you not mention his depiction as Stonewall Jackson in Gods and Generals at the beginning? Incredible acting.

Great stuff……Again!

Definitely a museum I’ll add to my bucket list. I’m happy to see Steven LangMs contribution to the continuing education at Gettysburg.

Thanks for persevering. Your work is great.

Just watched a video yesterday with Stephen regarding the movie with American Battlefield Trust must be making his rounds lol. Great actor and good guy
