Fredericksburg Battlefield Tour: A Civil War Must!

Here we are taking a tour of the Fredericksburg battlefield on July 11, 2009. If you care about remembering the Civil War and are planning to go to Fredericksburg, make sure you get on the tour with Mr. O'Reilly. Unfortunately, we don't have the audio of our two wonderful guides speaking so Sean and I are doing the narration.

@ke4bss Thank you so much for your annotations of our video! If we do a new edit of the narration, we'll definitely put in your corrections regarding the stone wall, Meade's actual command, and St. Kirland!

Good video. My Great-Great Granddaddy was there with Co. I 38th NC Infantry. He survived the war but was wounded June 1864 at Petersburg and lost his left arm. He died in 1925 and is buried in my family cemetary in DeKalb County Alabama.

This is amazing Sean & Scott, thank you for touring us to the battle field, I have a video called Sutter's Mill by Dan Fogelberg, also was trying to make it like a history education video, and it went very well too. Thank you for sharing this video, great effort!

The confederate dead at 2:50 are from the Chancellorsville Campaign. They are Barksdale's men, killed in Sedgwick's assault on Marye's Heights on the morning of May 3, 1863. Sedgwick's men took the heights and advanced to the Salem Church (towards Chancellorsville).

At 1:50, that is a picture of men from Hall's Brigade running up the banks of the Rappahanock. These men used the pontoon boats to cross the river and assault Barksdale's men who were picking off the engineers that were building the pontoon bridges. This is not the Irish Brigade.....look closely at the bottom right of the picture.

also Fredericksburg was the first time the the US army was involved in urban or street fighting.
