Great video! I highly recommend visiting the Chickamauga Battlefield! It is remarkably well preserved and easy to walk the Hallowed Ground.

I've been to the Chattanooga battlefield several times it's extremely large for the amount of people that were there

Thank you for posting the full animation! You do some amazing work!

Wonderful presentation, Dr Wilder! This is getting close to my neck of the woods, as im between Resaca and Kennesaw, 3 miles from Cassville. The Great Locomotive Chase came right through the middle of my town and county! Thank you so much for making the battles almost come to life on our scfeens! It is greatly appreciated by many! Deo Vindice and God bless! [><]

Love your animations and explanations. I would only ask that you put a compass rose on your maps. I realize you shift your maps due to screens being wider left to right and orienting your map to take advantage of that fact, so compass rose would be a helpful tool

Thank you so much for this breakdown. I watched the whole thing before I visited the battlefield and watched sections of it to help get a sense of what happened around me while I was there. This video should be on offer at rhe information center.

My 3rd greatgrandfather was in the 17th Kentucky regiment under Beatty and this was essential in helping find where he would have been on the field.

Once again, thank you for the video and your efforts!

If you don’t mind me asking but can you do either the battle of Franklin or Nashville next and I am asking because both battles really interest me and they were fought in the same year which was 1864 and the first battle was Franklin which was fought on November 30th between the union army of the Ohio and the confederate army of Tennessee and the union army was led by John schofield and David Sloane Stanley while the confederate army was led by Lieutenant General John Bell Hood and the battle was a big blow to the confederate army with the loss of fourteen generals 6 killed seven wounded and one captured and the 6 generals who were killed were major general Patrick Cleburne, Brigadier Generals John Adams, Hiram Bronson Granbury, States Rights Gist, Otho French Strahl and John Carpenter Carter. The Seven Wounded generals were Major General John Calvin Brown, Brigadier Generals Zachariah Cantey Deas, Arthur Middleton Manigault, Jacob Hunter Sharp, Thomas Moore Scott, Francis Marion Cockrell and William Andrew Quarles and the one captured general was Brigadier General George Washington Gordon.
The second battle is the battle of Nashville which was fought on December 15th-16th and it was fought between the union army of the Cumberland, A Detachment of the army of the Tennessee, The District of Etowah, and the Cavalry Corps under James H Wilson and opposing these union forces was hoods battered army of Tennessee and among the casualties in the terms of generals for the confederates were Brigadier General Daniel Govan who was wounded, Brigadier General Thomas Benton Smith Wounded and captured, Major Jacob A Lash Mortally wounded and captured, Brigadier General Henry Rootes Jackson Captured, Major General Edward Allegheny Johnson Captured, Brigadier General Claudius Wistar Sears wounded and Colonel Edmund Winchester Rucker wounded and captured. Among the Union casualties were Colonel Philip Sydney Post wounded and Colonel Sylvester Gardner Hill Killed and both the first and second battles were union victories however the battle of Nashville saw the end of the confederate army of Tennessee being an effective fighting force and after the battle of Nashville some of the confederate army would be sent to join Joseph e Johnson in the Carolina’s while the cavalry under Nathan Bedford Forrest would remain in the western theater being sent to Alabama where they would fight against union general James H Wilson in two battles around Selma Alabama.

I like the sound clip at the very beginning of your vids, was that actual sound footage at the Hornet's nest! 😅

My Great Great Grandfather was L. G. Collins. 5th MS Infantry out of Neshoba Co. MS. He was in Jackson's Brigade under Cheatham's Division in this battle, and named on the Confederate Roll of Honor. I wish I knew what he did. His Grandson was also named L. G. Collins, and I'm proud to say he was my Grandfather.

Excellent history. As an "Original Transcon" RR enthusiast, I love this era of Manifest Destiny, and Civil War'. A suggestion for a good read: "To Rescue the Republic" by Bret Baier, and also: "Fierce Patriot" by Rbt. L. O"Connell, which a truly superb read', concerning Sherman and Grant, etc. Thanks. Your presentation is admired.

[smccowan]

At 1:26:00 "Gracie" is the father of Titanic survivor Archibald Gracie who would write a book titled "The Truth About Chickamauga."

[Jeff-yru]

Well done. I couldn’t watch because of background music.
