Thanks Dennis, how fortunate you were to have experienced that I love how you share your experiences

I worked on the Antietam National Battlefield for the Youth Conservation Corps in 1984 It was the best experience I could have had!

As an Irishman myself I know all about the Irish Brigade A distant relation of mine was Private (later promoted to Sergeant) Thomas O'Neill, 7th Cavalry, who had a narrow escape in the Battle of the Little Big HornbrWhen JFK came to Ireland a few months before he was assassinated in Dallas, he brought the flag of the fighting 69th New York, who made up a major part of the Irish Brigade Its on display in our Houses of Parliament in Leinster House (its worth a heck of a lot more than our politicians who frequent there!)

Incredible What was done with the remains that were found? Was anyone able to find out who this was? And was that spot memorialized with a marker?
Comment from : @kravitz1999

Some things are better undisturbed This seems like disturbing a gravesite

I was just at Antietam yesterday for the first time in probably thirty years and now watching various videos about it, this one moved me the most, thank you for sharing
Comment from : @jeffwolinski2659

What an incredible story The hand of history and humility reaching out simultaneously and gripping our humanity
Comment from : @Toche44

Outstanding video you're a very good speaker my friend I have a question in Petersburg Virginia behind Blandford Cemetery it is not on Federal Land I'm not sure if it's state or Blandford Cemetery owns the property but there is a mass grave humongous forgotten you could actually hit the crater with a rock if you throw it hard enough this Mass grave should be saved
Comment from : @swarm6697

The chaos in these battles must have been something on another level Modern Warfare will never be able to match the pain and levels of casualties these men faced Just imagine being the man standing next to the guy who just got dropped by 3 bullets at once, fully knowing that in the next twenty seconds you could be next There is so much beauty in this world, but humanity wants to destroy it all for one reason or another
Comment from : @effen_aey_man

Comment from : @Kimchiboy08

These excavating photos are in such bad shape, that they look like they were made right after the battle itself
Comment from : @marvwatkins7029

This man looks part East-Asian
Comment from : @marvwatkins7029

Comment from : @terrancehanley2970

Comment from : @MysticalMe131

George simples i bet
Comment from : @matthewedwards6108

That's some freaky stuff there Dennis
Comment from : @stacyvonn8036

Oh wow! I can't believe that they thought it was ok to leave that much of a soldier,
Comment from : @michelemcneill3652

My family in Missouri, sadly had people on both sides Much harder to find the Confederate side
Comment from : @michelemcneill3652

My great grandfather fought at Antietam He was all of 17
Comment from : @jsvensson7652

Thank you for this I Appreciate you
Comment from : @Mikeofindy

It has always been a dream of mine to visit the civil engineering war battlefields and museums, but I have very fragile health now that I will never be able to do it I guess if there was an adult Make-A-Wish, that would be mine I just fit all so fascinating, all the personal stories, paranormal, etc
Comment from : @Quegi-mp1pw

Alittle over-dramatic but good presentation
Comment from : @waggsish

Best to leave the dead to rest in peace

Amazing orator, loved listening to him!
Comment from : @mislavmihaljevic6436

Fantastic piece by Dennis I’m an ACW buff born & living in Ireland It might seem strange to say but I feel a connection with the Irishmen who fought in the conflict This is a powerful and quite emotional piece
Comment from : @theRappinSpree

This is why metal detecting should be outlawed near any battlefield site People dig up bullets and think it's great Except that bullet might be all that remains of the dead I remember reading about bullets falling to the ground during the reinterring of remains at Gettysburg (because the bodies had been decomposed and the bullets fell through the skeletons) Unless you are doing an archaeological dig with professionals, leave it alone It isn't metal detecting, it's grave robbing
Comment from : @AnExtrovertPaints

Mr Frye, I know it's been said here many times before, but thank you for your touching story of the discovery of the remains of the soldiers who fell there on the battlefield What was the disposition of the remains that were uncovered in the archeological excavation?
Comment from : @tubularfrog

Incredible story, and very moving I cannot recall ever being impacted quite the same way by any other civil war historical reference footage that I've ever watched Thank you Dennis Frye
Comment from : @froggy41u

Amazing story
Comment from : @dantediego

I grew up with a family named Poff I wonder if they shorted their name?
Comment from : @leza6288

That was the most amazing story I ever heard As people living in 2021 we forget how close the Civil War
Comment from : @DavidWilliams-hv7so

This man is a fantastic storyteller! His delivery made it so much more intense and emotional
Comment from : @jaygorny

Wow, I was there once about 10-15 years ago and ran into a guy metal detecting and I thought the same thing about the legality of it It was close to the visitor center He gave me a piece of shot and a minnie ball (I know these are a dime a dozen but to have it verifiably from the battlefield was cool)
Comment from : @your_royal_highness

Getting shot feels like getting hit real hard a hammer Of course he felt it
Comment from : @jaywinters2483

Excellent detailed presentation Dennis told with compassionwell done!!
Comment from : @kevinr3935

Probably a Confederate volley fire that got him
Comment from : @provost5752

I remembered this story in the local newspaper I clipped it out and saved it br I still have the article It’s In my Edward J Stackpole book br The book is called from “Cedar Mountain to Antietam”
Comment from : @reneereynolds2839

Wow, poignant Felt your emotion, thank you
Comment from : @bleewicket

War is a terrible thing Let's make sure not to continue glorifying it
Comment from : @sgtstedanko7186

Comment from : @spawnofdawnacle

Looks good providing Governor buzzkill doesn't shut everything down again
Comment from : @mistervacation23

This guy is over dramatic
Comment from : @WhDragons

Powerful story I mean not to be morbid, but three shots to the torso could still not instantly kill He may have “felt” And I feel saddened and yet grateful for so many who died My Great-great Grandfather, 59th IL, Company B Wounded, Nashville, Dec 1964 Died 1912, Bunker Hill, KS
Comment from : @ntnsty

Awesome video Dennis Great video and such compassion!
Comment from : @davidstepeck2644

If you folks enjoyed Mr Frye here you should watch CSPAN3's Emerging Civil War series Excellent stuff
Comment from : @shanktonlewis9408

Your right, you can't get any closer For just a second I imagined a sigh of relief when you removed the bullet
Comment from : @bradmitchell3765

I recently visited Antietam for the first time about three weeks agobrincredible placebrThanks that was a fascinating story
Comment from : @davemac533

Rest In Peace soldier
Comment from : @mfreund15448

A spectator of a Civil War battle, doesn't count as a participant of the battle, does it?
Comment from : @richardmckrell4899

So many positive and interesting comments, but are you folks NOT aware a political party has IN ITS PLATFORM to remove parts of this period of history from the communities by removing & destroying monuments???? Go look it up on the Democratic platform ! SUCH will only escalate to the battlefields !
Comment from : @REVNUMANEWBERN

When you said the part about picking the bullet out of the man's chest cavity that gave me goosebumps because you're the first person to touch that bullet since that confederate soldier loaded it into his rifle and took aim at that Irishman that's amazing work that y'all do with all these monuments being taken down and all this trying to erase our history things like this needs to be told just because you don't like the history doesn't make it true thank you for what you do
Comment from : @GunFANATIC84

Sooooo yall dug up an already dug up grave that infact was not undiscovered, but had been discovered, documented, and bones moved to the national cemetery previously? I'm confused
Comment from : @richardwiseman8424

Really makes one wonder how many other unknown burial sites are just waiting to be found, let alone in small insignificant battle fields
Comment from : @Rogentx

Absolutely amazing!
Comment from : @TooFarWest1

God Bless those dear young men who died so tragicallyheartbreakingthe stories you told just touched by soul
Comment from : @ohmeowzer1

I loved this thank you I liked and subscribed
Comment from : @ohmeowzer1

The reverence you paid to that soldier was very telling, and I can tell by how you tell the story, how deeply it still impacts you! Our TRUE history must be preserved, and never forgotten!
Comment from : @Country_Girl63

It had always been difficult for me to imagine the hatred at play in the Civil War among citizens of the same countryuntil recently when I’ve seen it rear its ugly head once more
Comment from : @bellalugosi5853

Dennis, that is the most powerful story I’ve ever heard about a Civil War battlefield, and I’ve been on many of the Eastern battlefields
Comment from : @dougm5341

Wow No words but wow
Comment from : @rays7437

Struck that many times simultaneously would lead me to believe that the soldier might have been the color bearer or a member of the color guard It was common practice to aim at them in an effort to disrupt the regiment's morale and alignment
Comment from : @michaelzahnle5649

This brings to mind what those who investigate the remains of the VN MIA remains must feel Bless them for their efforts
Comment from : @barrygrant2907

Chills Just walked the battlefield there two weeks ago

God bless you son for mixing history with the ethereal
Comment from : @steveschultz300

A friend of mine got kicked off his OWN property because its near the brandywine battle field,brand he was dumping old concrete on it The historical society wanted to snoop around on it but he wouldn't let them, so the police said if they see him back on his own property, they will arrest him
