[01:20.51] |
In July 1863 |
[01:25.58] |
A nation torn in tragedy |
[01:29.59] |
A trick of fate, two great armies merge |
[01:33.52] |
Gods of war at Gettysburg |
[01:38.68] |
Devastation lies ahead |
[01:41.92] |
Fifty thousand bodies litter the land |
[01:46.84] |
Hell rages three full days |
[01:50.24] |
The reaper sows, there's the devil to pay |
[02:29.91] |
The pressure's on and the rebs attack |
[02:33.50] |
The yanks must hold, they can't fall back |
[02:37.42] |
Just two brigades, two thousand strong |
[02:41.53] |
Against twenty thousand they can't hold long |
[02:46.52] |
General Reynolds makes his way |
[02:50.70] |
Expect no mercy from the iron brigade |
[02:54.83] |
Until he shows they're on their own |
[02:59.20] |
But Buford's men have a will of stone |
[03:04.10] |
Bayonets gleam in the morning sun |
[03:07.92] |
Smoke and fire belching from their guns |
[03:12.24] |
Another volley and again they strike |
[03:16.55] |
Thousands more coming down the Chambersburg Pike |
[03:24.40] |
This tragedy and what it brings all the devastation(The reaper has his way) |
[03:32.43] |
Men will kill and blood will spill to preserve the nation(There's the devil to pay) |
[03:39.95] |
This tragedy and what it brings all the devastation(The reaper has his way) |
[03:48.68] |
Men will kill and blood will spill to preserve the nation(There's the devil to pay) |
[03:57.71] |
South of town down the Emmitsburg road |
[04:01.76] |
The first corps are starting to show |
[04:05.85] |
For Buford's men, they're here just in time |
[04:09.68] |
The desperate need to strengthen the line |
[04:14.68] |
Bodies dropping the blue and the gray |
[04:18.72] |
Muskets fire and the cannon blaze |
[04:22.86] |
The union fights defending the town |
[04:27.20] |
But they're outnumbered and losing ground |
[04:30.81] |
From the north and the west more rebels arrive |
[04:35.77] |
Thousands more and the fight multiplies |
[04:40.12] |
McPherson's ridge and the black hats strike |
[04:44.80] |
A rebel sharpshooter takes Reynolds life |
[04:51.86] |
This tragedy and what it brings all the devastation(The reaper has his way) |
[05:00.54] |
Men will kill and blood will spill to preserve the nation(There's the devil to pay) |
[05:09.70] |
This tragedy and what it brings all the devastation(The reaper has his way) |
[05:19.13] |
Men will kill and blood will spill to preserve the nation(There's the devil to pay) |
[07:06.60]When Jonny Comes Marching Home] |
|
[07:09.51][Cannon ball roaring and Music] |
|
[09:31.80] |
Attack, attack, general Lee gives command |
[09:37.26] |
They're overwhelmed, the situation demands |
[09:40.60] |
The federals retreat and rush out of town |
[09:45.13] |
But they have fortified and saved the high ground |
[09:49.61] |
The day ends, victory for the south |
[09:53.51] |
Lee's as convinced as God's will is profound |
[09:57.40] |
They are invincible and their cause is just |
[10:01.64] |
But long street is cautious and lacking in trust |
[10:06.42] |
Across the way the union digs in |
[10:10.39] |
The round tops, cemetery ridge and out to Culps Hill |
[10:14.34] |
Their lines are strong, no denying they'll stay |
[10:18.48] |
When the confederates strike there'll be the devil to pay |
[10:26.00] |
This tragedy and what it brings all the devastation(The reaper has his way) |
[10:34.59] |
Men will kill and blood will spill to preserve the nation(There's the devil to pay) |
[10:43.30] |
This tragedy and what it brings all the devastation(The reaper has his way) |
[10:53.36] |
Men will kill and blood will spill to preserve the nation(There's the devil to pay) |
[11:00.82] |
This tragedy and what it brings all the devastation(The reaper has his way) |
[11:09.49] |
Men will kill and blood will spill to preserve the nation(There's the devil to pay) |
[11:19.45] |
This tragedy and what it brings all the devastation(The reaper has his way) |
