That's not a one day old baby.

Love it - can never get enough of tracking down the site of historic photos.

They wouldn't be there pushing daisies up if they just didn't pick up arms and tried to go after the real American soldier

Thx ABT Garry A ! Informative Interesting - Good work 🗽🙏🇺🇲

Is it possible that the church pews were the same pews as used in the church today? They look identical to the war time photo. Same curved design on the top of the pew at either end, along with the extra support leg under and at the back of the pew.

The passion by everyone involved is palpable.

Bless you Mr. Morris and thank you for your service...respect!

...& the "then & now" of the boulders, Wow!😮🇺🇸

That is sooooo, so very interesting, just the stark contrast, walking thru the neighborhood while simultaneously pointing out those particular points of interest! Great job & thanks for doing these👍😃🇺🇸

I wish History class/social studies were taught in this sequence in the US. As I grew up we bounced around the whole text book from Western Civilization, Roman Empire, Egyptian Empire, this war and that war but they were not in sequence 🤦🏽‍♂️🙄. I'm learning so much more from KZfaq than I ever did in junior high/high school in the 1990s. Not to mention I'm native American and I know my heritage so then I was a flagrant for speaking what I was told by elders vs my teachers 😂

Nothing cooler than matching up old photographs thank God for those boulders everywhere

Everything comes back to a Seinfeld episode! Great job Garry!

I visit Gettysburg often; I try to hit it once a year and do my best to at least drive thru the East Cavalry Battlefield.

Most people think Gettysburg was the most important battle of the Civil War. It wasn't. It was just the biggest. Vicksburg is the most important battle of the Civil War because it split the Confederacy and completed the encirclement and blockade of the south cutting off the supplies they required. If Gettysburg were the most important battle the war would have ended after it but it continued for almost a year which was plenty of time for Lee to regroup and build up his army with the supplies that came through Vicksburg but he couldn't because Grant closed that route and the Army of Northern Virginia was left to atrophy

Really enjoy seeing these photos, gives great perspective of what you are trying to save from disappearing!

Garry. We're placing a stone marker on the grave site of Geo. H. Houghton on July 27 and hoping to have period entertainment afterwards. Thanks for your part in the efforts of the Milwaukee CW Roundtable towards this project. We'd love to see you here for the festivities! 😁

Awesome!

This was fascinating, great. Thanks Gary!

I often wonder why the left flank of the union line ended at little round top and did not extend to big round top. It seems to me that if Meade had enough troops, that it would be strategically advantageous to occupy the high ground of big round top. Nothing I've read or watched ever addresses this. Interesting.

It's my understanding, that after the war. Some members of the First Minnesota had a part in bringing an end to the Jesse James gang when they tried to rob the Northfield Bank.

Sure tear down the house… but of course we don’t want to talk about the ten thousand pound elephant in the room… the fact that there is a serious lack of affordable housing in Gettysburg. Just ask seniors or low income residents if they care about battlefield restoration when they struggle to find an affordable place to live in the area.

These are extremely fascinating videos! I sometimes wonder if these people know the history of the land their homes rest upon.

Excellent presentation, most informative video and technically well done.

great research! btw i met Jerry in NYC, quite the gentleman too😅

The last just war we were involved in was the civil war and the bad guys won.

But WHY is that photo in Jerry’s apartment? There must be a reason. I wouldn’t think that props department would randomly put a CW photo there.

Gary is one of us! one of us! Go Badgers, Bucks etc.

A well mapped out look at the last days of general Jackson.

If I owned that property, I would immediately clear out the vegetation, so we could see these wonderful boulders, in all there glory!!

A former neighbor of mine did a re-enactmate on the Gettysburg battlefield. He, later, told me, that, at night, he could hear all sorts of voices and gunfire. Said it scared the daylights out of him.😮😮😮😮😮

Awesome eyes, Garry! Only you can make something out of Seinfeld’s nothing!!😂

I simply love things like this! Thanks for showing this. And hey does anyone know who placed that photo on the set of Jerry's apartment, and why? That would be fun to find out.

Absolutely brilliant. Thank you guys . Jamie England uk 🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🌹

My 2nd great grandfather on my grandpa's side and my third great grandfather on my grandma's side were both captured at Vicksburg.

This video is truly a work of art not only did you capture the history of the time but you kept me hooked and entertained throughout .good job keep up the good work

Gambling with his soldiers’ lives. I think Lee was blinded by a desire to be seen as the noble savior of the confederacy. Even a very unlikely “hail mary” type charge was worth a try. The young boys carrying the flags were slaughtered. They were mown down like everyone else. In the American Revolution, the soldiers were not worried about noble charges and they pulled every trick they could to win. Even thinking about Lee’s decision to charge infuriates me. He should have led the charge if he was determined to make this insane charge. But no…he was too important.

As a very long time supporter of the Trust (going back to talks with my late friend Ruff Fant) I am always amazed at the scholarship of the Trust. I live about two or three blocks north of Salona on a flat piece of land above the Potomac that was the site of Camp Advance. In late ‘61, a Vermont regiment was ordered to cross Chain Bridge and create a presence in the south bank of the River…Camp Advance. I live about equidistant from the 1861 skirmishes at Lewinsville (now McLean) and Dranesville…both of which featured a young cavalry commander by the name of JEB Stuart. I am blessed to live the history of the CW on a daily basis!

Love learning this bit of history!

I honestly believe that had Pickett not made that charge, the Civil War would have ended very differently. The gift of hindsight.

I could not see Crowe playing Chamberlain.

Gettysburg showed what a great actor Jeff Daniels is when one considers the same man played a buffoon in Dumb and Dumber.

The Civil War book was ALSO in Seinfeld... and Elaine says "600,000 million people died" and Jerry corrects her. It's absolutely hilarious that he corrects her on casualties. Also during the Keith Hernandez episode Jerry says "he's a really smart guy too he's a civil war buff".

"Hey, what's the deal with the "Civil War? There's no civility in war! C'mon!!" - J. Seinfeld

Wow Garry. Thanks for educating us!!

The McLean Historical Society published information on the location many years before Ron wrote about it on his blog. The tents would be in the backyards of the current houses today. You will notice other rock formations in the famous photo and some of those still exist today in the neighborhood.
