  We have such a hard time, today, understanding the savageness of Civil War combat and the huge dose of courage the men who endured it displayed. &nbsp;Both sad and inspiring.

  You were about 3 miles from my house. I go walking at the park all the time. There are many more miles of breastworks off the beaten path there. All dug by hand by very desperate men. It&apos;s a sobering feeling every time I walk those fortifications. &nbsp;You did &nbsp;good job explaining Kennesaw.

  Great video. &nbsp;I run those trails weekly. &nbsp;The unknown soldier buried at Cheatham Hill was actually identified in 2009 after 5 years of research. &nbsp;His remains were not recovered after the battle and were discovered in 1938 by conservation workers. &nbsp;He was interred at the spot he was found and was given a traditional headstone. &nbsp;After years of research he was identified by Brian Quinlin as Pvt. Mark Carr, 19, of Company I of the 34th Illinois Infantry.

  I live in the area close to Kennesaw Mountain. Lived here all my life, minus 20 years serving in the US Navy. I was raised up and taught about the battles local to our area. My great grandfather lived in Dallas Georgia and served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. He lost his life coming home from the siege of Vicksburg. He died from dysentery in the Sand Mountain Alabama area and was buried there. Lots of Civil War history in our county of Paulding County, the Battle of New Hope Church was another leading up to the Kennesaw Mountain skirmish. Thanks for Sharing these valuable lessons of history on your channel. 🇺🇸⚓️🔱

  I live about 6 miles from here and hike the trails weekly in this National Park. The loop trail is 16 miles and winds through the different battlefields. 11 miles of it have earthwork trenches and even foxholes still preserved. 4000 combatants died here during the struggle for two weeks. Now it is a solemn place of tall oaks, deer, and wild turkey where people recreate in peace. Thanks for the video.

  As a military buff it never ceases to amaze me what men are capable of doing. Some of the most fantastic stories come out of war. We are a warrior race. Hopefully we will learn better someday, but that day never seems to come. We keep forgetting the past. Thankyou for your work to remind us, lest it be lost yet again.
