"If you're going to get men ready to die, you better get them excited about it". Great quote.

My great great great uncle Captain Wesley Mellard Co H 13th Mississippi Infantry Barksdales brigade CSA fought at the Peach Orchard near the Trostle Farm at Gettysburg July 2 1863 A sad and a terrible day for both sides Salute to the men of the Blue and Gray who fought so valiantly and died so bravely here over a hundred years ago Thanks for sharing this program it was very interesting

Great video... As you know, PCNTV was there as well. Since they had him on the lav mike, I had their video in one window, and yours in another. After Syncing the audio, I watched your video, while mostly listening to their audio, because your video was better (for the most part) than theirs. Overall, it was a very good experience. I hope I win the lottery or something, and get a chance to get to Gettysburg at some point. I'd love to do one of these tours in person.

In a series of events the one before the last is the penultimate one.

Finally, the mysterious StuffWriter appears on camera! I have his video of this and yours pulled up and I'm checking out all the angles, and he's the guy in the dark blue T-shirt with the white hat thats partially on screen through the whole second stop filming on his phone.

The speaker box audio quality is very low. I hope they get Matt a better speaker this summer.

My Gr-Gr-Grandpa was there fighting Heavy with the 7th New Jersey Vol. He survived that!. While my other Gr-Gr-Grandpa was about 5 miles East of Gettysburg Fighting Gen. Custer. He was with Gen Fitz Hugh Lee with the 2 Va. Appomattox Raiders Calvary He also survived. So glad they didn't see each other!!!
