Great job,Matt, for getting the historians with outstanding talent and knowledge to go along with entertaining delivery. Your show is top notch, especially when you get Ralph on there, Tim and Gary, Charlie Fennel, Dr. Schroeder, Hessler, etc. Keep it up. I actually have Ralph giving my group a tour soon and cant wait.

Loved this, I have been fascinated with the Stoney hill part of the battle lately. You folks answered the question about whether the hill was wooded then like it was today. I have seen the 1880's photos you all spoke about and wondered if it had been wooded at the time of the battle then cleared of timber so as to enable visitors to see the early monuments there with greater ease.

As often as I’ve read or listened to accounts of the action on the Union left at Gettysburg, I can’t understand it. I will need to visit the battlefield. But the number one thing I can’t understand is how Lee, or modern historians, believe Longstreet could have simply bypassed the Union forces located east of the Emitsburg Road, and marched on Cemetery Hill after dealing with the Union forces stationed on Sickles’ “high ground”. Would the Union troops southeast of the Peach Orchard (from the Wheat Field all the way to Little Roundtop) have become irrelevant? Was it really possible, let alone a good idea, for Confederate forces to continue up the Emitsburg Road while leaving those Union forces in their right-rear?

Well, the thing to keep in mind is that Lee didn’t intend for Longstreet to attack LRT or an part of sickles line along the Emmitsburg road because those troops weren’t there when the plan was made. There was a long delay from the intelligence that Lee based the plan on to when Longstreet got on line. He was supposed to attack the union left which Lee believed to be around the area of the Pennsylvania Monument. Hope that helps.

Thank you for your wonderful shows. I drove for a living for some years in a cargo van, on the way home I tried to stop at civil war battlefields. Probably 50 or more, many multiple times. I have a alternate offering for the location where the South lost the war. (by the way, in the last several years I have been fascinated hated by the stoney hill too). My pick for where the South lost the war: White Oak Swamp. Had Jackson acted with his usual energy and daring, McClellands army could have been defeated at Glendale. What do you think? Thanks again!

Yes. I’m very behind on releasing the video versions. I don’t have a staff of editors so I get to things when I can.

Not that I'm ANY kind of a paranormal guy because I'm NOT. But, the area of the Rose barn to the Stoney Hill always weighs heavy on me when I'm in there. Its not even near my favorite area of the fields but when I'm in there I feel that solemn heaviness and the desperation of that moment in time like nowhere else in the park and I get that feeling EVERYWHERE while there. Its a feeling though I'd hope I NEVER lose when there. It has a mighty strange hold on me...

I know the feeling. The grounds here give me different feeling depending on where I am. And it’s always the same feeling for the respective spot.
