That was excellent! Thank you. What an accomplishment to capture the essence of 4 years in a 7 1/2 minute film. Also a great test of my CW knowledge and recognition.

 

[Buckeye Bill]

Thank you!

I was going to label my pictures in this video but I decided not to.

If you need me to advise on the site, just yell.

It was pleasure to watch this video, and to see how many photos I could identify, because I had been to see them! Thanks, Bill for this!

Beautiful, Mr. Bechmann. The black & white is a nice touch. Thank you, sir.

 

[Buckeye Bill]

Thanks, guys and gals!

After I return from North and South Carolina in May, I will remaster this video to include Bennet Farm, Averasboro and Bentonville sites.

I will also place parts of my Shenandoah Valley sites too.

Looking forward to it. Enjoy your trip and stay safe.

Awesome as usual, Sir William. Very nicely done!

Images I think I recognized: Fort Sumter, Fort Donelson, Shiloh, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Vicksburg, Chickamauga, Petersburg (Crater), Franklin, and Appomattox. That's good for a passing grade, right? LOL!

Echoing theoldman - "Enjoy your trip and stay safe."

 

[bankerpapaw]

I recognized quite a few places, although I was unfamiliar with some images. Thanks.

The picture of the mill is located at the Battle of Mill Springs (Logan's Cross Roads) on the Cumberland River in Kentucky.

* Thanks for kind words!

I'm too tired to play it again (though I will). Did I see Lee's Headquarters in there? (Gettysburg)...or am I getting too old? I gave a generous donation to "Save Lee's Headquarters"--CW Trust--did anyone else? I guess my name is/will be on the plaque there...but no children's children to see it when I'm gone. (Oh, for God's sake, I'm 60--not 100! lol)

The photo you are talking about in the video is the Lydia Leister Farmhouse (General George G. Meade's HQ).

Ahhh, Thank you...My brain registered "Commanding general's headquarters" So I'm not senile...yet.
