My Father never took me to Six Flags or any Amusement Parks.... He took me to Old Civil War Battlefields in the Tennessee and Kentucky Area in the late '80s when I was a child..... I got to go to LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN and I loved it... My Father explained to me that this War was a Fight of our own Family of Americans and it was settled forgiven and forgotten..... It instilled a deep-seated Affection for these National Monuments that tell the History and Bear the Scars of our Nations American Civil War.....❤️💯❤️💯❤️

Have an Old Family Story That My Great Great Grandfather Alex Allain with 5th Company Washington Artillery Rode a Cannon Down Lookout Mountain. Love you Gents work! Thank you! Already Went to Reseca looking forward to going to all the sites thanks to you Warriors!

nothing beats gary's presentation style

very well done, men. I grew up on Missionary Ridge just a stones throw from Bragg's reservation.

Thank you for making this video! Great presentation and lots of amazing history! I just moved up here to Chattanooga a few months ago from Tampa, Florida. I have always loved history, Civil War history being my favorite. I can't believe that I'm living in the middle of so much bloody, beautiful, and critical historical awesomeness! My adult son and I went up to Point Park the other day to observe the fall trees and I was amazed at the beauty. I could picture these events happening around me. I'm getting ready to head out to go to Chickamauga Battlefield in a few minutes! Anyway, I'm now subscribed, and hope to catch a live stream sometime. (This is about 3 years after you recorded this, I hope you still do them!)

That's an awesome statute from NY.

Love these Live Feeds!! Thank you all!!

Outstanding work gents! Thank you

Good job, everyone! Sorry I missed the live feed. Western theater is important.

Chattanooga is one of the most beautiful places on earth

My gg grandfather fought at Chickamauga for the Southern Confederate forces. Eaglegards...

That was great!

Being a Tennessean is great my ancestors were Cherokee and German we have so much history here it's amazing

Fantastic tour. Really gets into the minds of the generals and the landscape where it happened. I'm writing a book about an ancestor who fought there under Rosecranz.

great so far..but where is part 2????????

Waiting for Part 2

I feel a huge sense of pride in my heritage every time i go up there. They also cut down alot of the trees on top since this video so the views even better

Garry, I Like 👍👍your style!!

Both my great great grandfather Private William Garner and great great great uncle Private John N Garner both of the 32nd Tennessee Infantry fought at The Battle of Lookout Mountain

Outstanding video, well done!

Outstanding video. Thank you ABT.

Will,Very much looking forward to you books!!!

There's also a monument to the Andrews Raid in the Chattanooga National Cemetery. 🚂💥🇺🇸

"The Battle Above the Clouds."

Very interesting my great-grandfather was Birney Linn the photographer I am Birney Linn also

I like the documentary but good god man you sure do jump around a lot

Love these videos and lessons. The fast cadence and dialogue is a little interesting though.

A lot of people like to take potshots at Grant in a way that they probably wouldn't at Lee. Grant had initially been kindly disposed toward Old Rosey as Rosecrans was known. By the time he wrote his memoirs, he had become aware of Rosecrans' efforts to undermine him. It's all very well to have a plan but Rosecrans hadn't ENACTED that plan. That was a prime reason for Grant, on Lincoln's authority, relieving him. He was far too cautious and indecisive. If he'd carried out his plan to relieve the supply problems faced by his command, perhaps he would not have been relieved.

Greetings from Va.Beach, Va.

My great great grandfather was there.

Was the 2nd Alabama infantry there? Or the 42nd Alabama

Very good! I enjoy these. But I can't help but wonder if Gary still lives with his mother

I am Morganton North Carolina

That guy has a lot of energy.

Wasn’t Gen Slocum in charge of the 12th Corps???

On the confederate casualties sign. Why are there so many missing?

Ven Den Corput site at Resaca is no longer protected. Private property again. Purchased 6 months ago. Owner is not a Civil War fan. He does not want you around. I know, I was ran off July 9th, 2020. Cant believe it was lost.

Been to military civil war park chickagga

Henry Van Ness Boynton is an ancestor of mine.

Wouldn't Grant's Zenith be Appomattox Court House? ;)

Does anybody know who the Confederate units were here , looking for relatives.

I believe that Chattanooga was one of the last chances for the confederacy

forget the "zen" and enjoy the beauty of Creation!!

Decaf.

The lady sitting on the rock looks like it may be Mrs. George Armstrong Custer.

Dude! Cut back on the caffeine and energy drinks!

August Willich was an extraordinary figure. The only card carrying Communist on record as an American officer

Liked this as I wanted to see historical detail of the battle itself, having just read Grant's memoirs about this campaign, but I was ready to turn it off and dislike it after about 3 minutes of listening to the guy with the brown cowboy hat, who I find extraordinarily annoying, and distracting from the content. Hashtag clown. I'm not even talking about the many poor video and audio problems.

"Eggcellent" Keep on people...

Gary, I see that you're enthusiastic about your area of expertise. That is great. I feel compelled to point out that I for one am put off by your style of presentation. I believe I speak for others as well, judging by some of the comments I've seen. I feel that your overly energetic demeanor detracts from the honor and respect due this civil war history. I believe you are sincere in your efforts to present this story of our national history to the public. I think you would be more successful in conveying the value of this history if you could tone down or alter your style of presentation. Respectfully yours, JD.

That's what drives me crazy. The north and the south were all American soldiers. Leave ALL the statues and monuments up. Don't change the names of places. When you give thanks to veterans remember our southern brothers and sisters.
