It is incredible to me that so many important Civil War Generals were either wounded or killed during the war. They displayed true bravery and led from the front. Thanks for the great video, American Battlefield Trust. I encourage others to join this fabulous organization, of which I am a member.

Another brilliant synopsis of a battle, rife with confusion on the ground. Kris brings great clarity to the small details that make history real.

My great great uncle was captured at Wilderness, sent to Andersonville and then to Florence where he died. He was 17 in the NY 76th

Thank you for this very informative video. Anderson proved to be a pretty good Corps commander. I like the Wadsworth story. I had not read it before.

Thank you for preserving history. Confederate manufactured cannons can be viewed at Shilo if you're on a tour. Be sure for everyone to look up the story and photos of Helen Dortch Longstreet. Gen. Longstreet's widow who live long enough to be a Rosie the Riveter on B-29s.

Excellent. I have enjoyed many of this channels efforts, from New Zealand, the enormity of the American Civil War, reverberates through out the West to this day. Invaluable lessons can be learned, amidst the horror.

Fascinating stories about this battle. Great job, folks.

So glad to see The Overland Campaign finally get a proper historical overview, none better than the ABT team to tell the story. Great work!

Great stories. There is a hamlet not far from Geneseo. N.Y. named Wadsworth, wonder the connection? Thankyou for all you do to preserve history. If we dont know where we've been we dont know where we are and certainly don't know where we're going. ,

More great videos from you guys. Thank you!

Stuart's loss was at least offset by Wade Hampton's elevation and Hampton proved to be an excellent fighter.
