My GGgrandfather served in the 5th Mass light artillery. Cpl Benjamin Laurence Graham. The Nation Lives. Great battle walk. Under appreciated subject. Brave honorable men.

My favorite Matt Atkinson battle walk ever! Had no clue about LTC McGilvery! Could be considered the hero of July 2nd...

Yay StuffWriter! Happy Independence Day, Sir. And THANK YOU for sharing these great videos with us. I wish I could be there all the time. I was born in PA, and would live on that battlefield if they'd let me. You are doing us all a great service. 😊

@@markcrampton5873 It's rare that artillermen receive the MoH. It wasn't till 2014 that Lt Cushing received one for action on the 3rd in which he lost his life manning his piece near the angle.

Another well done production. Your filming is very good and Matt has gotten better with age. I miss my Gettysburg visits, but your videos help fill that void.

Freeman McGilvery's defiance of General Hancock's irresponsible artillery orders on July 3 probably saved us from defeat during Longstreet's assault. But that's another story.

I’m sorry, but we’re not here to learn about the history of a ranger. We are here to learn about the artillery of this battlefield all all the little anecdotes, the personal asides, cheers for the crowd, and the other things, cut them. This two hours long!?

Precisely. This Ranger is always silly and cracking jokes on HALLOWED ground. What’s funny about 700,000 battle deaths? Yet the goobers always fall in love with him. Disrespectful junk.
