I agree that the townspeople are fairly bad actors. I wouldn't have minded this scene staying in though simply for the look of disgust on General Buford's face. Sam Elliot did a great job with this part.
this was on the vhs set that came with the gold tapes. I had the vhs box before this and it dosent have these scenes. Lets face it they are some sucky acting on the civilian parts and don't really add anything. The only civilian scene that they kept makes sense the girl asking the yankees i thought the war was down south.
The guy that says "there are johnny rebs everywhere, everywhere," is the same guy in God's and Generals who greets Lee and Jackson in Fredericksburg after the battle... The mayor is TERRIBLE in this clip......
The old man who told Buford that "Johnny Rebs were everywhere" is the same guy who was at Fredericksburg in Gods and Generals. Only that time he was complaining about Billy Yanks being everywhere.
@Chubachus I hear that most of them are friends that Ron Maxwell owed favors to. He was in financial trouble over the years and a lot of people took him in and helped him out.
@Chubachus - "is there going to be a disturbance in our town?" Yeah, bad. Somewhere in gettysburg i'm sure there was a college girl in a theater department they could have recruited for that part instead. And the mayor guy was epically bad, but so too was the camera work. Sam did have a great retort, "when the shootin stops" haha
Buford was a native of Kentucky the confederate congress in the beginning of the war offered him a position in the rebel army but when he read the commission he crumpled up the piece of paper and said "I'll live and die under the flag of m country!".that's true loyalty
@markmason1000 no its a catch 22... Like RE Lee you fight for people 1000's of miles away or you fight for ur state and neighbors!! yanks chose people 1000's of miles away!! Rebs chose neighbors and states brotherhood!!
Lee could not and would not dream of fighting his own state!!!
THAT is the differance between yanks and Southerners!!!
@bluegrassreb1 no Us "Yanks" fought to preserve the Union and the federal government. Lee like many other people of his time made the mistake of putting his loyalty to his state government above that of the national government and his U.S army oath,However even though he was our enemy he was a good man and as one I respect him
@markmason1000 Taking the Oath is to defend the Constitution not the Government. Trust me I'm a Veteran and swore to that same Oath. =) You are right. Lee was a good man, Buford was as well. Though Lee made no mistake. He defended what he believed to be his Constitutional right. There was right and wrong on both sides.
@Flastif as much as I respect Lee I cant say I agree with his cause history taught me not to,we tried confederated government before everything almost fell apart
@markmason1000 Taking the Oath is to defend the Constitution not the Government. Trust me I'm a Veteran and swore to that same Oath. =) You are right. Lee was a good man, Buford was as well. Though Lee made no mistake. He defended what he believed to be his Constitutional right. There was right and wrong on both sides.
@Flastif Got to remember also... this was a different time. Nation was still new and defining itself. Up until the war many leaders believed that states rights ALWAYS came before UNION rights. Just as each state voted to come into the union, many felt they had every right to pull out of union when federal rights impeded on states rights. Read the writings of Thomas Jefferson and many other Founding Fathers who believed strong state rights and nominal federal interference. War changed it all
They should have left that cemetary scene in, it really captures the mood and is the only reference to Cemetary Hill in the movie. That guy at 1:12 saying there is Johnny Rebs everywhere, I swear he is the same guy in God's and Generals who confronts Lee, Jackson and Longstreeet in the street in Fredricksburg saying "yankees everywhere, whatcha all gonna do about it".
THANKS! I've never seen many of these scenes before. I still don't understand why they've never released a directors cut on DVD of this movie, I assume these scenes were in the VHS box set that had all that extra footage? Man I'd like to see this as it was originally cut...
@Willysmb44 There were at least 3 "cuts." The final cut was the theatrical release. The cut with these deleted scenes were in the VHS box set, like you thought. There was also a "first cut" that was over 6 hours long. I don't know if that first cut still exists but I hope they're doing something with the box set cut for the 150th anniversary of the battle.
I shudder to think of it but in those circumstances I would probably be one of the "too fat" civilians asking where the army was when things got tough. I'd like to think otherwise but I'm a realist. Still, the wishful part of my personality imagines having the guts to stand with Buford on the first day.
after 2 and a half minutes listen to what Buford says about politicians that is something we can all aggree on and I see why it was deleted - the fat hog greedy yuppie class does not want the general population to know what liars and slugs they really are they try and crawl away of course. The scene after 2 minutes of this video shows us then Bufords comments . Honour to soldiers and generals !!
The Star and banner. I found star and banner press plates in the deep archives of the Getyysburg Times, The old press room was in the basement, I had a lot of time to dig around in the archives. That old buiding was a national treasure, I had a lot of pride that I was a press operator there.
If you ever go to Gettysburg, Go to were Buford's calvary made there Stand. Buford, you have done a fantastic job! You fought for time and secured a victory for the Army of the Potomac. Great job!
@TheCrierman1863 - The movie is great but it is historical fiction. There is a lot more to what happened at Gettysburg than could be shown in the film or in the book. The film is an excellent place to start looking at these other things.
@TheCrierman1863 that is true but if you put yourself in the mayor's shoes, he is probably scared to death of getting his whole town the firing squad for running out of animals to give the rebels
To View the whole Gettysburg battlefield, you have to go where Gen Buford's calvary made their stand west of the town on the Chambersburg pike at the seminary where they awaited the approaching confederate army. It also be good to go to Cashtown,Carlile,Chambersburg,Pa where the Army of N. Virginia went thru to get to gettysburg and Frederick,Taneytown,Md where the federal army marched thru. That is one good way, in my opinion, get a good vision of what it was like.
@chesssir there are scenes in the trailer that never even made it this far, but Maxwell said the first cut was over 6 hours long, so there was a lot of stuff like that. I don't know if he kept that 6 hour version - he took it to Richard Jordan and showed it to him before he died but Jordan may be the only person who ever saw it or who ever will see it. It would be interesting to get it out at the 150th anniversary, if that cut still exists.
@rob9641 I would pay any price to have a copy of that 6 hour cut! I have this on VHS and I have watched it at least 12 times and will probably watch it 12 times more. I NEVER get tired of it and hardly believe it's 4 hours, it's so entertaining.
Gods and Generals otoh was a kettle of ass, saw it in the theater and couldn't wait for it to end...
Skymoose, it is in the first half, where Pickett and his generals arrive at Longstreet's camp and Kemper is talking to the British colonel Freemantle, right after Armistead and Longstreet's conversation
Rob, that sounds like Trimble's quote at the fire-side poker game, where he was trying to explain the Confederate cause to the visiting Lt. Colonel from the Coldstream Guards. Hope that helped.
Buford's Words ...."Something about Mayors, politicians and dignitaries hat bothers me....they talk to much and never think twice about asking men to die for them!" This us so true.....even today when less than 1% of our population is called upon to fight in foreign lands and for many who will never appreciate their sacrifice for an opportunity to have what we have here in the USA.
man..General Buford and a handful of cavalry were all that stood between the Army of Virginia from full occupation of Gettysburg and leaving the entire Union army at a huge disadvantage. held them off for 6 hours when they thought he could only manage 2. that took an amazing amount of guts. hats off to you General Buford, they don't make em like you anymore
Can anyone point me to the scene where an officer say something like... "I won't serve a king in England, I'll be damned if I serve one in Washington." Any link would be appreciated. Thanks
The scene that is being referred to occurs and the end of the first day in the movie where BG James Kemper is talking with LTC Arthur Freemantle. This is the scene where Pickett arrives at Longstreet's HQ. The comment was made about Virginia not being ruled by a King in London nor by a President is Washington. Virginia will be ruled by Virginians.
oh i know what scene you're talking about it is between general kemper and colonel fremantle ... i don't know exactly where but in the movie it is at the confederates campsite when pickett and his brigade generals are introduced... i agree with rob9641 i don't think it's posted on youtube right now anyways
@skymooseft you're thinking of the scene where the Confederate Generals are playing cards with the English Col. Fremantle. Gen. Kemper says "Virginia won't be ran by a king over there in London. And it's not about to be ran by some President in Washington. Virginia, by God sir, is gonna be run by Virginia!"
@skymooseft Ya, this is where Longstreet is introducing Fremantle to Pickett, Garnett, Kemper then makes this comment to Fremantle and Pickett says,"accually I have 2 kings" Ha! They were playing cards.
And failed to realize that a battle would be fought there. If they had, they would have occupied Cemetary Ridge and the hills and come between Meade and DC.
General Buford is a true American hero! He secured a victory at the Battle of Gettysburg (and perhaps the War) for the United States by arriving first to the battle and holding off rebel forces until the Federal troops had safely taken the high ground.
General Buford deserves much credit for playing a major role in helping keep the country together! Thank you General Buford!
Agreed! Buford was probably the only man North or South who knew that July 1 would bring fighting down on Gettysburg and he acted accordingly. His defense in depth, delpoying on both Herr's ridge and MecPhersons with the main line forced Heth to deploy his division which took 90 crucial minutes of delay and made all the difference by giving the 1st corps time to get to McPherson's ridge and prevent the Rebs from getting the high ground Burford sought to protect east of town.
When on the evening of June 30, Col. Devin told Buford that they'd be able to handle whatever the Rebs threw at them the next morning, Buford replied grimly: "No you won't. They're going to hit you tomorrow and they're gonna come booming! Skirmishers three deep. You'll have to fight the like devil until supports arrive."
Agreed! Gen Buford should get much more credit for the outcome of the Civil War. God I love this movie, so intense and real, it's like youre there with them. They could not have found a better actor to portray Buford than Sam Elliot, he is the man!
It's a shame that these scenes are not on the DVD, I can't believe they left them out of the movie.
@Zeeboe And my reletives mostly fought for the South. Cherokees were aligned with the South. But that is history. I believe that it would have been better if the South had won, and a new constitution would have been drawn up, limiting again the powers of the Federal Government. What we got after that war was burgoning Federal Power!
@ChiefOren - So let's just make a new country where everything is going to be all better, & we'll all never have to go to work or brush our teeth ever again! Then again, most rednecks already do that......
But seriously Chief, explain to me please if you don't mind how the rebels would have done any better? Things would have been worst in my view. The south already was going through hell during the war trying to keep Johnny Reb's family taken care of.
@Zeeboe If Lee had won in GB..... ah, speculation. The truth is that Lee was not looking to win the war but to bring the Union to concessions. The main reason Lee did invade the North was to cause constenation in the Voters for the President. Lincoln was very unpopular at this time, as he had insigated a Draft, which caused many riots! It was almost a sure thing that he would not be re-elected, and that would have caused the Union to come to Negotiate a peace with the South.
@Zeeboe The outcome of negotiations? First off, more than 300,000 lives would have been spared, the Sherman March would not have happened, etc. The authority that the Federal Government stole from the States would have been restored as per the Constitution. Slavery would have bee abolished (it would have ended anyway). Wall Steet Financers would have been curtailed. And a Central Bank would not have been formed.
@ChiefOren I do resent Lincoln for continuing a war that fed men into a meat grinder at such a horrific rate. Slavery is a shameful institution, and continues today in Africa, especially Muslim countries. It was dying here due to the introduction of technology by the time of the War's outbreak. Slavery was a big part of the war, no doubt, but represented the larger issue of state's rights and restraining the power of the federal government.
@Zeeboe About the Central Bank. Lincoln was also against the Bankers. In order to prevent the centralization of the Bank into the hands of England, he introduced "Greenbacks", in otherwords, he printed American money, instead of borrowing from the Bankers and Wall Street. Some say this was the real reason he was assasinated, but that could be just another conspiricy theory. So if Lee had won at Gettysburg, I do believe that America today would not be so different than it is today.
@Zeeboe But would be better off financially without selling itself off to the Fed (International Bankers). The attitudes of the North about Manifest Destiny would have changed also. This would probably have changed the fate of the Indians, but then, I am biased as to my stand in that. At least it would make the Union think twice before breaking treaties. Sorry if I went overboard with all this speculation. Opinions welcome.
@Zeeboe Buford didn't really whip the rebels but he did conduct a successful delaying action. His calvary was able to hold the rebels in place until General Renold's corp arrived on the battlefield.
To this day, I still do not understand why General Hooker paused for six days while Lee marched around him. That is why Lee got a jump start on Hooker. Lets not forget that the AOP had "the inside track" on marching.
Interesting the 5th and 6th Michigan Cav had been though Gettysburg earlier. (June 28th)
General Early's men had passed and camped near Gettysburg.
Interesting that MG. Trimble was the one that told General Lee, that Adams County was a good area to fight.
All of the stuffing and fighting spirit left Hooker after his earlier defeat at Chancellorsville (he would partly regain his spirit when he was sent west). I think the same thing happened to him that had happened to Rosecrans at Chickamagua. Feeling so sure of themselves (Rosecrans and Hooker) and not anticipating nor considering that their carefully laid plans could backfire when the sh*t began to hit the fan both men lost it so to speak.
Not many generals liked Hooker, when he fought out west, he was let go by Sherman. Hooker had command of the 11th and 12th Corps during the Atlanta Campaign. They took huge losses and Sherman was accused of sending those men instead of his men in bloody battles.
The 11th and 12th Corps were put together to form the 20th Corps. They remained at Atlanta as the Garrison. Sherman detailed at least 25,000 men to guard Atalanta.
Sherman wrote he never would have attacked Atlanta.
When the AOP marched into Maryland and Pennsylvania many towns would display US flags and the ladies would wave their handkerchiefs.
General Lee, put out General Order #73 that strictly prohibited any looting or entering private houses and many people in the North wrote that Lee's men were very disciplined. Some even noted more then the AOP soldiers.
Some Confederates were bitter at what the AOP had done for the last two years and a few sought revenge.
Armies are made up of all kinds of people, good and bad, just like the rest of society. Many looted as a matter of course, no matter what the orders were; many were appalled at their comrades' behavior. Same for both armies. Regardless, a couple hundred thousand men going through wrecks everything in their path. Virginia was utterly wrecked, and so was western Maryland and the Gburg area. Locals died from disease and gunfire and livelihoods were ruined when crops and animals were taken.
What was odd to me, many Pennsylvania farmers after the war, wrote the US. Government on their losses and very few were compensated.
I am reading a book called "Roads to Gettysburg" by John W. Schildt (1978) and his "Roads to Antietam".
I was trying to find camp sites....lol. But both of his books have been enjoyable to read. I read to much to fast and being out here in Afghanistan without new books is awful. Usually I ship them back and my wife sends me more.
The US gov't only paid for damages caused by the Union army, and then it didn't pay much. There was no way to pay for all the losses caused to locals in the war. There wasn't enough money in the world. But if you're in Afghanistan, Reb, you sure don't need me to tell you what war does to the countryside.
Just like the Union, we are out here with one arm tied behind the other. There are no cities of any size where my camp is located. Mostly we arrest males from other countries crossing the mountains to join the Taliban.
But since they are not in the Taliban, I have orders to release them. Weeks and months later those same males are found dead. They try to carry off their wounded and dead, but sometimes when we attack fast, they can not.
"I don't know what has happened to the general. He seems stunned, dazed, and confused. Like a duck hit on the head."
-Abraham Lincoln (commenting on Rosecrans mental condition after the battle of Chickamaugua)
"The general is beginning to cross himself. Hello I said to myself if he is crossing himself than we are in a grave situation indeed."- Charles Dana Asst. Secretary of War (commenting on Rosecrans mental condition during the battle of Chickamaugua)
For the first time ever on a major battlefield, the Confederates had more men. General Thomas wanted more men on the far left of the line (His command). Rosecrans did that, but he ordered BG. Wood to pull his division off the line and shift it down the left. They thought there was a hole in the line, there was not one. But now there was a hole in the line and Longstreet just got lucky to have attacked that hole. Thus the Union right and center snapped like a twig.
i loved this scene with the interaction between the gettysburg civilians and buford's staff. i could see why it was deleted, but the interactions between the civilians and soldiers in the civil war could be shown more in movies. i also think it would be great if there was a little scene showing the aftermath in the battle in terms of the townspeople themselves, or possibly an epilouge film type thing.
I wish the DVD had left in these scenes and left out some of the extra stuff. They fill in some gaps and things that don't quite make sense in the DVD version.
There isn't one. This comes from an old VHS "Collector's Edition" that came with a CD of the music, a book and a bullet. You might be able to find that on ebay.
There were two VHS versions. The deleted scenes were on the "collector's edition." The very first cut of the film was some 5 1/2 hours long. Ron Maxwell showed it to Richard Jordan before Jordan died and he "loved it." Wish we could see that one.
Gen. John Buford was the guy who recognized the significance of the terrain, and fought a delaying action to keep the Rebs off the impregnable position on Cemetary Ridge, Culp's Hill and the Round Tops the Union was able to fall back on.
dont know why devin says about thouroughfare gap..that longsreet didnt come..buford had dismounted and fought off longstreet for six hours..buford was promoted by john pope because of his idea sof using cavalry as mounted infantry especially with the new carbines. by now union cavalry was the equal of confederate cavalry ..brandy station, aldie and middleburg just prior to the battle and of course hanover
Buford's column wasn't within 10 miles of Thoroughfare Gap on the 28th. It was Bayard's cavalry that fought alongside General Ricketts's infantry at Thoroughfare Gap. Buford did warn McDowell that Longstreet was coming, though.
I know you posted this a month ago, but I must say. Devin isn't talking about holding for six hours and Longstreet never coming. Their was a small comversaton about if Buford could hold long enough to wait for the Infantry to arrive. When Devin says "And they never came, we held for nothing." He is talking about how the infantry never came to relieve Buford's men. But i will say this on your behalf. The wording was strange and is easy to get confused.
I remember reading in detail about this battle many years ago and as long as this movie was it hardly gives justice to all the significant events that where going on from beginning to end. I seem to remember reading about a Confederate attachment actually breaching the Union line a day or two before the big charge. I think they were from George, but maybe it was Florida? Then there was the event with Custer, just to name another out of many.
The film covers the events in the book "The Killer Angels," not the entire battle of Gettysburg. No way you could make a film of everything. You're right there was almost a breach on day 2 - troops from Minnesota were thrown at it and took terrible losses. But that's not in the book, nor the Custer cavalry battle. The film covers the book pretty well.
Ah okay, didn't know that but it makes sense. Ya, you would need to make a mini series to cover the whole battle but that would be cool if it was done right.
Thank you so much for this. The Star and Banner was the town paper. When I worked for the Gettysburg Times I found a few reproductions of it way back in the basement. To the fat man in the top hat. Grab a gun or shut up.
The 150th anniversary of the battle comes up in 2013. A new director's cut DVD with these scenes restored - maybe some of the ones that never saw the light of day, if they're around - would be a great idea. Start contacting Ron Maxwell now.
wow. watching some of the acting by the "good citizens of gettysburg" i can see why they deleted these scenes lol. no oscar nominations coming out of these clips i think.
I too want to thank you for sharing these scenes. I so much would like to have a complete, uncut, DVD version of this film.... almost as much as I want to see The Last Full Measure put into production!
Being really greedy, I'd like to see all the deleted stuff, even what didn't make the cut I took these from - from the trailer and from some news articles I saw, I can tell there was even more they just left on the cutting room floor. If it's still around somewhere, it would be good to see these. I really like the book - I'll bet these lost scenes help tie the film and book together more.
im the same way. i still lust over seeing what was cut out in the cutting room of the good the bad and the ugly, the wild bunch and especially Gettysburg.
They have got to release a special edition DVD of this movie. I remember when these scenes ran on TNT. It bought so much more depth to the movie and to the characters.
For the first time we saw how Buford really felt about politics and politicians. And how they treated him and his troops like toy soldiers.
well you know like every movie has these deleted scenes because the directors find they are not necessary for the understanding of the movie but ok at least we can see these scenes :)
Interesting scene, too bad it never made it to the final cut. But it wasn't critical to the story so I understand why they did it. Gettysburg was conceived and filmed as a TV miniseries. It was Turner who decided to convert it to the theater. As completed it was something like 6 hours long so they needed to trim it down to 4 hours. Would oove to see the entire film in it's full length. Thanks for these scenes.
I can see why they deleted this scene

@TheCrierman1863 - The movie is great but it is historical fiction. There is a lot more to what happened at Gettysburg than could be shown in the film or in the book. The film is an excellent place to start looking at these other things.

To View the whole Gettysburg battlefield, you have to go where Gen Buford's calvary made their stand west of the town on the Chambersburg pike at the seminary where they awaited the approaching confederate army. It also be good to go to Cashtown,Carlile,Chambersburg,Pa where the Army of N. Virginia went thru to get to gettysburg and Frederick,Taneytown,Md where the federal army marched thru. That is one good way, in my opinion, get a good vision of what it was like.

chesssir 1 year ago
@chesssir there are scenes in the trailer that never even made it this far, but Maxwell said the first cut was over 6 hours long, so there was a lot of stuff like that. I don't know if he kept that 6 hour version - he took it to Richard Jordan and showed it to him before he died but Jordan may be the only person who ever saw it or who ever will see it. It would be interesting to get it out at the 150th anniversary, if that cut still exists.
rob9641 1 year ago
@rob9641 I would pay any price to have a copy of that 6 hour cut! I have this on VHS and I have watched it at least 12 times and will probably watch it 12 times more. I NEVER get tired of it and hardly believe it's 4 hours, it's so entertaining.

General Buford is a true American hero! He secured a victory at the Battle of Gettysburg (and perhaps the War) for the United States by arriving first to the battle and holding off rebel forces until the Federal troops had safely taken the high ground.
General Buford deserves much credit for playing a major role in helping keep the country together! Thank you General Buford!
Zeeboe 2 years ago 23
Agreed! Buford was probably the only man North or South who knew that July 1 would bring fighting down on Gettysburg and he acted accordingly. His defense in depth, delpoying on both Herr's ridge and MecPhersons with the main line forced Heth to deploy his division which took 90 crucial minutes of delay and made all the difference by giving the 1st corps time to get to McPherson's ridge and prevent the Rebs from getting the high ground Burford sought to protect east of town.
Shafeone 2 years ago 2
When on the evening of June 30, Col. Devin told Buford that they'd be able to handle whatever the Rebs threw at them the next morning, Buford replied grimly: "No you won't. They're going to hit you tomorrow and they're gonna come booming! Skirmishers three deep. You'll have to fight the like devil until supports arrive."
Shafeone 2 years ago
Agreed! Gen Buford should get much more credit for the outcome of the Civil War. God I love this movie, so intense and real, it's like youre there with them. They could not have found a better actor to portray Buford than Sam Elliot, he is the man!

@Zeeboe If Lee had won in GB..... ah, speculation. The truth is that Lee was not looking to win the war but to bring the Union to concessions. The main reason Lee did invade the North was to cause constenation in the Voters for the President. Lincoln was very unpopular at this time, as he had insigated a Draft, which caused many riots! It was almost a sure thing that he would not be re-elected, and that would have caused the Union to come to Negotiate a peace with the South.
ChiefOren 1 year ago
@Zeeboe The outcome of negotiations? First off, more than 300,000 lives would have been spared, the Sherman March would not have happened, etc. The authority that the Federal Government stole from the States would have been restored as per the Constitution. Slavery would have bee abolished (it would have ended anyway). Wall Steet Financers would have been curtailed. And a Central Bank would not have been formed.
ChiefOren 1 year ago
@ChiefOren I do resent Lincoln for continuing a war that fed men into a meat grinder at such a horrific rate. Slavery is a shameful institution, and continues today in Africa, especially Muslim countries. It was dying here due to the introduction of technology by the time of the War's outbreak. Slavery was a big part of the war, no doubt, but represented the larger issue of state's rights and restraining the power of the federal government.
jpro57 1 year ago
@Zeeboe About the Central Bank. Lincoln was also against the Bankers. In order to prevent the centralization of the Bank into the hands of England, he introduced "Greenbacks", in otherwords, he printed American money, instead of borrowing from the Bankers and Wall Street. Some say this was the real reason he was assasinated, but that could be just another conspiricy theory. So if Lee had won at Gettysburg, I do believe that America today would not be so different than it is today.
ChiefOren 1 year ago
@Zeeboe But would be better off financially without selling itself off to the Fed (International Bankers). The attitudes of the North about Manifest Destiny would have changed also. This would probably have changed the fate of the Indians, but then, I am biased as to my stand in that. At least it would make the Union think twice before breaking treaties. Sorry if I went overboard with all this speculation. Opinions welcome.

To this day, I still do not understand why General Hooker paused for six days while Lee marched around him. That is why Lee got a jump start on Hooker. Lets not forget that the AOP had "the inside track" on marching.
Interesting the 5th and 6th Michigan Cav had been though Gettysburg earlier. (June 28th)
General Early's men had passed and camped near Gettysburg.
Interesting that MG. Trimble was the one that told General Lee, that Adams County was a good area to fight.
rebel2276 2 years ago
All of the stuffing and fighting spirit left Hooker after his earlier defeat at Chancellorsville (he would partly regain his spirit when he was sent west). I think the same thing happened to him that had happened to Rosecrans at Chickamagua. Feeling so sure of themselves (Rosecrans and Hooker) and not anticipating nor considering that their carefully laid plans could backfire when the sh*t began to hit the fan both men lost it so to speak.
edavismookie25 2 years ago
Not many generals liked Hooker, when he fought out west, he was let go by Sherman. Hooker had command of the 11th and 12th Corps during the Atlanta Campaign. They took huge losses and Sherman was accused of sending those men instead of his men in bloody battles.
The 11th and 12th Corps were put together to form the 20th Corps. They remained at Atlanta as the Garrison. Sherman detailed at least 25,000 men to guard Atalanta.
Sherman wrote he never would have attacked Atlanta.
rebel2276 2 years ago
When the AOP marched into Maryland and Pennsylvania many towns would display US flags and the ladies would wave their handkerchiefs.
General Lee, put out General Order #73 that strictly prohibited any looting or entering private houses and many people in the North wrote that Lee's men were very disciplined. Some even noted more then the AOP soldiers.
Some Confederates were bitter at what the AOP had done for the last two years and a few sought revenge.
rebel2276 2 years ago
Armies are made up of all kinds of people, good and bad, just like the rest of society. Many looted as a matter of course, no matter what the orders were; many were appalled at their comrades' behavior. Same for both armies. Regardless, a couple hundred thousand men going through wrecks everything in their path. Virginia was utterly wrecked, and so was western Maryland and the Gburg area. Locals died from disease and gunfire and livelihoods were ruined when crops and animals were taken.
rob9641 2 years ago
What was odd to me, many Pennsylvania farmers after the war, wrote the US. Government on their losses and very few were compensated.
I am reading a book called "Roads to Gettysburg" by John W. Schildt (1978) and his "Roads to Antietam".
I was trying to find camp sites....lol. But both of his books have been enjoyable to read. I read to much to fast and being out here in Afghanistan without new books is awful. Usually I ship them back and my wife sends me more.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
rebel2276 2 years ago
The US gov't only paid for damages caused by the Union army, and then it didn't pay much. There was no way to pay for all the losses caused to locals in the war. There wasn't enough money in the world. But if you're in Afghanistan, Reb, you sure don't need me to tell you what war does to the countryside.
rob9641 2 years ago
Just like the Union, we are out here with one arm tied behind the other. There are no cities of any size where my camp is located. Mostly we arrest males from other countries crossing the mountains to join the Taliban.
But since they are not in the Taliban, I have orders to release them. Weeks and months later those same males are found dead. They try to carry off their wounded and dead, but sometimes when we attack fast, they can not.
Have a good morning (night) for you!

edavismookie25 2 years ago
For the first time ever on a major battlefield, the Confederates had more men. General Thomas wanted more men on the far left of the line (His command). Rosecrans did that, but he ordered BG. Wood to pull his division off the line and shift it down the left. They thought there was a hole in the line, there was not one. But now there was a hole in the line and Longstreet just got lucky to have attacked that hole. Thus the Union right and center snapped like a twig.

Buford's column wasn't within 10 miles of Thoroughfare Gap on the 28th. It was Bayard's cavalry that fought alongside General Ricketts's infantry at Thoroughfare Gap. Buford did warn McDowell that Longstreet was coming, though.

I know you posted this a month ago, but I must say. Devin isn't talking about holding for six hours and Longstreet never coming. Their was a small comversaton about if Buford could hold long enough to wait for the Infantry to arrive. When Devin says "And they never came, we held for nothing." He is talking about how the infantry never came to relieve Buford's men. But i will say this on your behalf. The wording was strange and is easy to get confused.

I remember reading in detail about this battle many years ago and as long as this movie was it hardly gives justice to all the significant events that where going on from beginning to end.

Then there was the event with Custer, just to name another out of many.

The film covers the events in the book "The Killer Angels," not the entire battle of Gettysburg. No way you could make a film of everything. You're right there was almost a breach on day 2 - troops from Minnesota were thrown at it and took terrible losses. But that's not in the book, nor the Custer cavalry battle. The film covers the book pretty well.

Interesting scene, too bad it never made it to the final cut. But it wasn't critical to the story so I understand why they did it. Gettysburg was conceived and filmed as a TV miniseries. It was Turner who decided to convert it to the theater. As completed it was something like 6 hours long so they needed to trim it down to 4 hours. Would oove to see the entire film in it's full length. Thanks for these scenes.
