I walked from The Peach Orchard to Devils Den in April, you don’t appreciate what a difficult walk it is. And couldn’t imagine it in July heat in a wool uniform and all the extra weight , and running as well!
-
Absolutely love listening to Gary Adelmen tell these stories! Keep up the awesome videos Chris, Chris, Gary, Sara, Doug, Carol, Tim, Wayne, and some I’m sorry I can’t think of right now!

The dream team!! KRIS AND GARRY! Great stuff guys! As always, thank you!!

I've been watching these videos on Gettysburg, on and off, for more than a year now, and this is one of the best I've seen. Beyond just information, but empathy for those lost during the fighting.

Wow. Thank you for the moments of zen showing the beauty of the area juxtaposed against the description of the terrible battle and horrible death of so many. It really brings home the many reasons to preserve these areas. Thank you to NPS and the volunteers who worked so hard to do the repairs and clean up at Devil’s Den to make this area accessible to as many people as possible.

My first view from Little Round Top onto Devil's Den was a like a Deja Vu experience. Hard to explain but amazing, at least to me.
-
When you here the stories from the soldiers you quickly realise that there is no glory in war 😢
-
Thank you for all that you guys do for public education.

I had about 10 minutes alone in Devils Den on the 140th. It was very intense.

Showing the battlefield landscape, with anecdotal experiences of the combatants. This is how it should be done. The landscape is of important interest to those of that are not in easy driving distance. We can read stories, anytime, from the library of Gettysburg books that are available. Hoping for visuals of Rose Woods and Hauck’s Ridge. Thank you for what you are doing.

I could not possibly like this video more than I do! Thank you Garry and Kris!
-
Amazing… this video really got the point across the role that the topography here came into play here. Hood’s men had everything against them. But I bet defending the location was also no cake walk.

Thank you for all your hard work!

As I always comment, top notch gentlemen. Makes me proud to be a member of ABT 💪

I kind of wish you could compile the videos into new playlists not just based on the year but the location. So we could choose to watch a set on just devils den or a set on Gettysburg 160. It might be interesting to binge watch just a location.

Thanks for sharing the Triangular Field with van Horne Ellis and the 124th NY Orange Blossoms. My favorite spot on the battlefield.

I like this video. It's great that you showed the human cost that happened in battle.
