Jackson is one of the best generals ever. these are great programs and I love history especially civil war era

the mysterious stuffwriter talks !!....matt atkinson

You're awesome stuffwriter! Also thank you for making all the videos with Mr. Atkins. I live in Kentucky and have some health things after serving for 13 years in the army and I can't make it up there but your videos have helped!

Dangit, I hope the battlefields are open by September-ish, because this was the year I was playing on spending three weeks visiting Civil War battlefields.

When people ask specially historians how did Jackson manage to March his men 25 miles over land throw into a pitch battle in charge? It's because he drilled and he drilled and he drilled and he trained and he trained and he trained that's how armies do things that seem impossible.

Thank you, Stuffwriter! I really enjoyed this as I was always fascinated by Stonewall's Valley Adventures. I look forward to Part 2 and also hope the parks all fully open soon and Battle Walks resume.

Thank you for your hard work!

I always enjoy your tour recordings, but this is awesome as well! Thanks for interpreting a portion of the war that is really almost unknown today

Thanks for this. Very educational and I really like how you show the maps and where a particular brigade or even regiment was placed!

Outstanding! Thanks for all the time and effort 👌

This is a really great format. Please do more of these

Thank you! You are great! Love all your videos. Especially any of them that contain Matt Atkinson. Keep it up!

Yeah boi! This shit was 🔥. For real great job . I appreciate the focus and work you put into this. Super entertaining dude. Thanks.

Solid video broski!!! keep it up. Glad youre taking a shot a making videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude I love the video so far haven’t finished it but definitely subscribing!

Awesome. Eagerly awaiting part 2

For a first effort, it's a pretty darn good job. Thank you sincerely.

I won't lie. I'd really like to see the names of towns on the maps. It would help to keep me oriented when you're indicating battles and troop movements. It wouldn't hurt if the names of rivers are also shown on the maps. Without these details, I don't know where things are happening exactly. Without these details, we could be looking at a map of India or China. I noticed that you briefly show the names of a few towns, but I'd like to see them throughout the video.

Awesome video!!! Not a lot on this topic in the documentary world. Keep up the good work!!!

Nice work. Thank you for this video and all those you have uploaded in the past. I am finally retired and was hoping to be able to travel from Ohio to Gettysburg in July and later in the summer. Hoped to attend a few battle walks. Maybe I'll see you there next year.

Thanks always enjoyed your videos. Great job! I liked the graphics especially when that one officer flipped off Jackson when he wouldn’t let him go see his sick wife. Ha!!

This was great

Excellent animation, above any and all others on You Tube. I particularly enjoyed the person to person interactions between individual characters, etc. More place and geographic labels on the maps would have been an excellent addition. But thanks SO much for you dedicated work during trying times. Kudos!

Very good! You should do more videos like this 👍🏻

Bro. I was on your channel for 3 mins and I knew I'd love it. First of all History. I'm a huge buff. Second Stonewall Jackson. Huge Civil war buff. All military History. Actually History. I'm looking forward to many hours listening and watching. The video on the Pilgrims looks awesome! Thanks for your hard work. And for being a History Need like me. 😆

Damn. That is a lot of detail on what is going on in the valley campaign.....like A LOT. Even including small engagements and how Jackson got stuck on a tree...

Nice, I like it. What it needs is the cool background music like the Historia videos.

One thing here in a good video. Since the Shenandoah and its tributaries flow north, the southern portion of the valley is called the upper valley while the area nearer its terminus at the Potomac is the lower valley. Winchester is the primary city of the LV while Staunton is the primary city of the upper valley.

I hope my first comment didn't sound like I was putting this website down or KZfaq or down because this is a great great great job on part of the Shenandoah campaign of 1862 good job

Love you.

Name-dropping them good youtubes

I thought it was pretty good, Thanks, When is part 2 coming out?

Just had to make another comment. The video is fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

very interesting look at history. Also don't forget about youtuber 'The Operations Room'...one of the best WW2 battle visual presenters. :)

I just got back. No rangers were on scene obviously. But the park is completely open to walk or drive. They have pot a potties. I also went to sharpsburg. Park is open to walk, but no port a potties

Very nice work! Thank you very much! Is M.A. OK? 😷

Cool video, I'm finishing up this book right now. Before I went to bed last night I read about the ambush of the 8th New York at Cross Keys

Staunton is pronounced “Stanton”.

Talking about KZfaqrs don't forget about the Wilder historian he's awesome he does a bunch of civil war stuff that's great so shout out to Wilder historian

Just saying but some people think that the picture of Richard Brooke Garnett is actually his Cousin Robert Selden Garnett who was the first general officer to be killed in the civil war

Spelled S-t-a-u-n-t-o-n but pronounced 'Stanton'.

You know watching your video reminds me that the North had enough troops that they could have ended the war in 1861 wow I don't really have anything to say but that

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great content. Your audio needs to be better. A lot better. But great content.

Awesome content. dream big! enjoy your Evening :D

Anyone who has ever been to the Shenandoah Valley knows that Staunton is pronounced Stanton!

I find it confusing that Jackson is presented as an incompetent general. With anywhere from 5k to 17k men (presented as militias in this vid), he occupied Banks 30k and defeated them completely. Then he drew McDowells 30k and Freemonts 15k from Richmond and elsewhere to chase him around. Brilliant from a strategic perspective. Made the valley unusable, defeated an entire army(banks) and occupied 50k from marching on Richmond with Mcclellan.

Very interesting :D You may make shorter videos which are a bit more convenient to keep your channel hot :)

There a major reason why New West Virginia had there capital in Wheeling. So they can run there butts to a safe area very quickly. Huge area WV was on VA side. We our land was not highly productive farm land. Only the rich people had slaves. Election was very highly suspected. We believe in state rights not turn fed govt. Into what it is now. Mosby & McNeils rangers sure keep thousands union troop busy with few hundred. What ??? They took up planks on all bridges going into Washington DC at dust to Dawn keep Old mean Mosby out there. Asbury hell good officer himself wild but good. Jackson had God on his side he believe. That why he believe in his great surprise moves. God was on his side.

I'm a fan of Sheridan's valley campaign.

6th

9:00 trust between slave and master is not correct in this context. Slaves don’t like or respect masters in this context. That is why masters carried guns. The better is to see the masters did not trust the slaves. Good luck on your project.

Thanks to the 17th North Carolina Regiment for shooting Stonewall Jackson on May 2, 1863.

WAYYYY too many ads in this video...ugh. Plus...my ancestors fought for the Confederacy(from GA), so your northern "slant" is very annoying.

Stick to the war issues politics is for politicians

Are you absolutely certain it was John Brown's raid that stirred distrust between the slaves and the slave owners? Did you ask the slaves? Did you ask them in conditions where their honest views were freely expressed? (like in circumstances where/when they were not the property of the people you are presuming they start out "trusting" up until Ole John Brown came along). You wrote that sentence. And then said it. That is on you, Forever. You are the person who thought slaves could trust their owners!!! you did that. Congratulations.
