'Secrets' of a Tennessee battlefield: Let's go find The Rock!
A walk along the railroad track at Thompson’s Station, Tenn., where two 19th Michigan soldiers — brothers Judson and Pasqua Austin — fired at the Rebs from “a projecting rock” on March 5, 1863. Check out my re-launched Civil War channel (mostly) on YouTube. Also: Slava Urkaini!
these videos are great. ever consider buying a cheap drone and mounting a camera on it so we can see battlefields from above? I think we don't get a good idea of the scale and the topography of those many Civil War battlefields. even though ground views are very good, they are limited in showing the entire theaters of action.
Thanks for the video tour at the Thomson's Station battlefield.
Good to see that a fast express didn't catch you unawares on that railway line. Don't forget about the potential sharp edges on the remains of that glass telegraph insulator you have in your pocket! :)

ReplyDeleteHey the drone idea is a good one John!
DeleteA worthy idea. Must start GoFundMe. :)
DeleteAnother great video of an off-the beaten path battlefield. You sent me combing my library for more information!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work.
