This hits hard. I cant imagine the final thoughts of the brave men that charged across that field. They saw a massive line of gray beyond those woods and knew their fate. That final measure of devotion should never be forgotten. The Liberty Rifles did an excellent job here of bringing the Minnesota back to life. Thank you for sharing this with the rest of us. God Bless you and the United States.

The return of the "survivors" did a fantastic job representing the conclusion. Amazing thing to see recreated.

Four of every five of the men in the 1st MN became casualties during the famous charge.

Wow! Great to see so many forming a single regiment like that. Very moving just watching these guys marching into battle, the bravery of all who had to do this for real - surely this is what reenactment is all about.

Seriously, thank you so very much for this. Means the world to me. Will be there next year, driving from Michigan. Visited the battlefield in June 2021. Intended on being there for this but finances and life happened so I am grateful someone out there did this. You got my sub!
