Thanks!

Imagine how scorching hot it would be in the attic and dressed in military wool uniforms

I would love to stay a night and investigate the paranormal

Just watched the vid , im heading out thìs summer , cant wait to see it all. Thanks

Love the spent paper casings up in the attic depicting the volume of fire that could of been shot from that attic
Very cool video JD

I have seen same stuff ay portilos

Just found this channel! Love it! Obsessed with history ❤️

Medical supplies in the floor? That is kinda hard to believe. Mainly cause it doesn't make sense

Well done!

Why was there blood in there? Did the snipers get hit or did the Union overpower them? Are those holes left open all year round?

I am sure metal detectors folks have combed the down range areas a thousand times by now
However it would interesting to note from a CSI perspective if some one had and could link them to the snipers nest

IDK

No doubt the rats, flies, and maggots had plenty to eat there that early July.

A few positioned Confederate mannequins in the Attic might've been interesting.

The present owners have serious resource$.

So i had just watched the Andersonville video and now this one. I saw George Washington Schriver died in Andersonville

Why don't you do video on the battle of Baron Hill is a very little battle hardly anybody knows anything about it but my great great great great grandfather died in the battle of Barron Hill. He was American Indian, but Lil is known about it. The Lil is known about people who died in that battleand Lafayette led the battle. I would really appreciate some information on that.

I went to Gettysburg very fast several years ago but no real idea of where to go. This is where I’ll be going when I go again

I do have a suggestion for something you might want to do a video on. My.great great grandfather was Dr. Francis Eppes Manson. He was born in Virginia, but bought a plantation in McDonogh Georgia. His last wife was Mary Jane Ayer, a Northern school teacher. My ancestor from her was Parrish Ayer Manson . On Sherman's March to the sea, The Plantation was destroyed. (I don't know how much if anything remains). Parrish was taken in by his Ayer relations in Maine. My great great grandmothep,Mary Jane, died in Atlanta. Great great grandpa,the Dr. Was a member of the legislature, was a Minister, on his deathbed set his slaves free. End of this is the Manson's lost everything on the March to the Sea, the Ayers is Maine were still quite to do, so When took in Great Grandfather P. Manson, they never let him forget it, saying he was just a poor relation. Saying in the family was "Them Ayers and their piss pot Airs". I see a great war story in this. Of love, death, birth and war. I'm told the papers with all of details of the March were kept by the Ayers, would sell it for a price.

Great video but did you mention George Washington Shriver was captured by Mosbys calvary and later died in Andersonville prison? Great book by Schiffer books about Tillie pierce, 15 years old who was a neighbor and describes the hell in vivid detail . Hettie later remarried. Will visit this house definitely. Always bypassed it on visits

This is amazing. BIG SHOUT OUT to Nancy for basically allowing you to make yourself at home. So cool.

My wife and I were there last week, Fascinating. My favorite part of the house was indeed the downstairs pub.👍

Great video!

Im a civil war reenactor and the shriver house in Gettysburg is well known but in my opinion the musket with the paper cartridges near the hole is the icing on top

You said Jennie Wade's name because she's probably been following you around monitoring your tours. To make sure you don't miss anything interesting and important. 😉

humans. awesome brutha.

Tillie Pierce lived next to the Shriver’s and was good friends with Molly and Sadie. She wrote an excellent book about her experience during the battle.

I just wonder what the future generation will write about are history these days? Spoiled, computer, world, there will be no history, due to nuclear, I prey I'm wrong..

That warning note warning was real. The next year they burned Chambersburg.

Been to this 🏠 U did a Great Job!!!😊

Doctor office music

What is the stuff on the floor in the attic? And it would have been better if u had a light up there so we could have seen better

I’m off for two weeks. I’m going to try to get a tour 😊

I wish I had seen this when I was in Gettysburg. Thanks for exploring this home.

We should guard our american history. It's not learned in school so much today.

Great video. Thank you

Well done!

Please J D go to Shiloh and do a series!!!

Sic Semper Tyrannis

I am so thankful of the people who preserve our history, it should never be erased or forgotten it’s how we are standing here today.
That home was absolutely amazing!

Bet that house is haunted...

even added used paper cartigaes in the attic.

was there two years ago great tour

What’s the song playing in the into?

I've been there, looked at the battlefield.. Really somber experience.

Very cool

Wouldn't they be considered rifleman considering the time period, i have several rifleman man Civil War buttons, but never heard of a sniper that's more modern

I’m being gay rn help
