UBELIEVABLE... Thank you James... I LEARNED A LOT. I will watch your series again. GREAT PRESENTATION.

[jackzimmer]

Thank you for that fine presentation! My brother-in-law and I, while not visiting the battlefield, were able to watch some of the reenactment of the battle near Ringgold, GA. It must have resonated with him because for a number of years he became a re-enactor himself!

Another great video in this series. Couldn’t imagine going from the see saw battle in the woods for Carnes battery and one moment you feel you have the enemy on the run only to step foot into open field and have 20+ artillery pieces aimed your way. Good work bud!!!

I enjoyed this one a lot! I also like that you have added some more sound fx in the story! I heard a battle horn mixed in there that I don't think I have heard before!

Absolutely great stuff. I am a reenactor/historian.

As an Illinoisan we are extremely proud of the number of our sons that fought and died at Chickamauga. 37 Regiments.

I had 6 relatives all in the 23rd Kentucky under Grose. Another Cousin of those in the 23rd was in the 10th Wisconsin. He was captured. These videos are exactly the stuff that pays homage to those men. Keep up the great content.
