This is awesome, my great great grand father was in the 59th OVI GAR and fought at Perryville (Reserve) but was on the front at the battle of Stone River. Have a journal entry from him where he talks about watching Confederate soldiers pick cotton as they March across the field and stuffing the cotton balls in their ears because of the deafening sound of the weapons firing. Our family has been in literally every war from 7 years to today, I served 13 years in the Navy and Army, blue to green, and my nephew is in the 173rd Airborne! Proud of our family and history and thank you BFT for what you do! From Kentucky we support you all!

Thank you for this episode. One of my forefathers was Orderly Sergeant John Seiple of Company F, 153d Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, he later died of his wounds (lockjaw) on July 8th. Google Maps and the few out of print books about this unit can do so much but your outstanding footage and expert commentary brought it to life.

This is extremely well done. I have followed the 107th Ohio for many years. They were engaged at this position. Thanks so much for this fine presentation.
