Addressing Gettysburg

Sue Boardman is a favorite among us all. She's peppy with a frank and cutting sense of humor that delights all within earshot. I got Sue to sit down with me to talk about herself and her life and a fun time was had by all. Enjoy!

Christopher Gwinn, Gettysburg National Military Park It is the most famous hill in American history. For 160 years Americans have been captivated by the story of Little Round Top and the desperate fighting that took place there on the afternoon of July 2, 1863. Ranger Christopher Gwinn will examine the story of the battle, the myths and legends that still hover over its rocky slopes, and detail how Little Round Top became a "vision place of souls."

Troy Harman, Gettysburg National Military Park Did the Southern Army investigate Culp's Hill before attacking it? It is imagined the Southern Army attacked Culp's Hill for two days without knowing what they were walking into, or how impossible the task. It is generally presumed that if some forethought and investigation of the ground and circumstances had been carried out earlier, the 12 hours of combat there may never have occurred. How much truth is there to hastily attacking the hill without prior knowledge of Union strength, location, and morale? Troy Harman will explore and explain through multiple vivid accounts, illustrations, and maps.

Ranger Christopher Gwinn will examine the story of the battle, the myths and legends that still hover over its rocky slopes, and detail how Little Round Top became a "vision place of souls." Sun. Jan. 22 - The Great Reunion of 1913 John Heiser, Historian In the summer of 1913, Pennsylvania invited thousands of Union and Confederate veterans to come to Gettysburg to observe and celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, what many considered to be the "High Water Mark the Rebellion". The response from veterans of the Blue and Gray was overwhelming - over 54,000 old soldiers journeyed to a battlefield skillfully transformed by a government commission into a memorial park, where the armies of both North and South would forever be memorialized. Critics scoffed that old enemies could never get along, the divisions that caused the war in 1861 having not been forgotten. But America was changing at home and abroad and those who chose to ignore this commemoration were surprised at its outcome. Was this "Great Reunion" finally the signal of national reunification so many had hoped for fifty years after the final shot had been fired? Sat. Jan. 28 – From Second Manassas to Gettysburg: - The True Story of a Texas Brigade Officer and a Union Artillerist Wayne Motts, Gettysburg Foundation Join historian, author, and battlefield guide Wayne Motts as he explores the true and unique story of Benjamin F.

From the battlefields of Virginia to the fighting on July 2, 1863 at Gettysburg, Wayne will present some new information about this moving story.

A few months back, we had LBGs Chris Army and Lewis Trott on to share their top five Gettysburg resource recommendations. Now, it's the ladies' turn! LBGs Deb Novotny, Sue Boardman and Jessie Wheedlton share the books that they think every student of the battle must read. Have you read the books they recommend? LBG Jasan Hileman is the newst guide to join us on Addressing Gettysburg. Also, Joe from Peach Orchard Publishing joins us for the first time as producer/engineer. When I asked Jasan to do the show I told him what I tell every guide who comes on: you can choose from a list of listener submitted topics or you can name your own. Jasan said he wanted to do a WTF Moments epiosde. Since that title is already overused, I harkened back to the days of hair gel and parachute pants and borrowed a line from the great American philosophers C&C Music Factory for this show's title. In this episode, we cover many things that leave a lot of us scratching our heads about the Gettysburg Campaign like Mr. Stuart's Wild Ride, Ewell's "inaction" on Cemetery and Culp's Hill and more. This was yet another fun episode to record and we hope you have fun (and learn a bit) listening to it.

I am join by Major Cindy Etzkorn and Captain Bill Etzkorn, the chair and vice-chair of our event committee, to recap all we've gained (and the one major loss) of 2022 and to tell you about what you can look forward to from us in 2023. As we reach the end of another successful year, I'd like to put all teasing and joking aside for a minute to thank each and every one of you (even non-patrons) for your continued support and enthusiasm for the show. It has always meant the world to me and continues to mean the world to me. I don't take it for granted and cannot thank you enough!- Matt

LBGs Fran Feyock and Doug Douds, with Historian Jared Peatman, join us to discuss the genius behind Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. This isn't a discussion of the dedication event, but, rather, an analysis of the speech itself and, I dare say, I think you'll like this one. The Gettysburg Address: Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Jon-Erik, curator of the Captain Espy Post at the Carnegie Library in Carnegie, Pa, invited me to speak on October 8. Seeing as how I am not an historian, nor a lecturer, I suggested he interview me because, clearly, he saw something about me intersting enough to invite me that I couldn't (and still can't) see. Being a great guy, Jon-Erik agreed and did a great job. It was a lot of fun for me and quite an honor. It was nice to meet listeners I haven't met before, see some familiar faces and gain a few new ones from it. I hope we get to do more out there.

Jari Villanueva is the director of the Federal City Brass Band/ 26th North Carolina Regimental Band. He was kind enough to send me two of their CDs last year for use in our narrative episodes. We'd been trying to coordinate our schedules for about two months now for this interview and finally made it happen. I thought it would be fun to go through the songs I chose for the narratives and, first, explain my thinking behind the choice from an artistic standpoint and then follow it up with Jari giving a history of the song. Turns out, I unwittingly chose songs that were more appropriate than I was aware of, in some cases. Jari is also "instrumental" in the popular and moving "100 Nights of Taps" here at Gettysburg National Cemetery. Check out Jari's website www.jvmusic.net

IMPORTANT!!! READ THE MEETING POINT BELOW "We….rushed at a double quick boldly forward into the mouth of hell, into the jaws of death." As Major General George Meade's army tried desperately to withstand the Confederate assault on the afternoon of July 2, 1863, one division stood out as they performed critical duty in the effort to hold the line. Join us as we sweep the Wheatfield as Brigadier General John Caldwell's men did on that deadly afternoon. MEET NO LATER THAN 9:30 IN PARKING LOT #3 AT THE VISITOR CENTER FOR CAR-POOLING AND/OR BUS PICK-UP. (WE'RE NOT SURE WHICH WAY WE'RE GOING YET).

Become a patron here: www.patreon.com/addressinggettysburg Author Tom Huntington joins Matt to talk about his book "Maine Roads To Gettysburg" from which we talk about the 16th, 17th and 19th Maine. Sorry, Chamberlain fans, we decided to talk about the OTHER Maine units this time, but we'll do the 20th some time soon. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain and his 20th Maine regiment made a legendary stand on Little Round Top during the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863. But Maine's role in the battle includes much more than that. Soldiers from the Pine Tree State contributed mightily during the three days of fighting. Pious general Oliver Otis Howard secured the high ground of Cemetery Ridge for the Union on the first day. Adelbert Ames--the stern taskmaster who had transformed the 20th Maine into a fighting regiment--commanded a brigade and then a division at Gettysburg. The 17th Maine fought ably in the confused and bloody action in the Wheatfield; a sea captain turned artilleryman named Freeman McGilvery cobbled together a defensive line that proved decisive on July 2; and the 19th Maine helped stop Pickett's Charge during the battle's climax. Maine soldiers had fought and died for two bloody years even before they reached Gettysburg. They had fallen on battlefields in Virginia and Maryland. They had died in front of Richmond, in the Shenandoah Valley, on the bloody fields of Antietam, in the Slaughter Pen at Fredericksburg, and in the tangled Wilderness around Chancellorsville. And the survivors kept fighting, even as they followed Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia into Pennsylvania. Maine Roads to Gettysburg tells their stories.

We asked Garry Adelman and Tim Smith to join us for our second in-person show of 2022. This time, we set up at Camp Farnsworth, a hidden gem right off the alley behind the Farnsworth House. It's a great spot to hold a party, if you're ever in the mind to. Garry and Tim's Devil's Den book came out 25 years ago and, as can be expected with these fellas, there are funny stories, new information and general fun during the interview. But first, our wildly popular game show "Whose Line Is It Anyway But You Have To Name The Person He's Saying It To" in which Cam tries to redeem himself from his abysmal showing on our live show in February. Does one of his challengers pummel him or does he finally come out on top? Some say he's the "Rudy" of Addressing Gettysburg. And, finally, our audience members get to ask Tim and Garry their questions personally. Thank you to all of our sponsors for this episode, the Farnsworth House and our awesome listeners who bought tickets and made the night exceptionally fun!

This episode is being released on my sister's birthday. Like me, she turned 39 again this year. While it's my 6th time, it her 4th. So, happy birthday, Karen! Had a great conversation with LBG and author Jeffrey Harding about his new book "Gettysburg's Lost Love Story: The Ill-Fated Romance of General John Reynolds and Kate Hewitt." We all know the tiniest fraction of the story about Major General John Reynolds and his secret love, Kate Hewitt. But did you know the REST of the story? No you didn't, because no one had unearthed until Jeffrey set out to write this book. BOOK DESCRIPTION: Union general John Reynolds was one of the most beloved and respected military leaders of the Civil War, yet beyond the battlefield, the captivating true story of his secret romance with Catherine "Kate" Mary Hewitt remains etched into his legacy. Clandestinely engaged before John marched off to war, the couple's love remained a secret. Kate made a poignant "last promise," a commitment to enter into a religious life if her beloved were to be killed. Tragically, Reynolds lost his life leading troops into action during the opening phases of the Battle of Gettysburg. Within days Kate was embraced by the Reynolds family and soon began to honor her promise of a religious life. Yet a few years later she seemed to disappear. Author Jeffrey J. Harding unveils new findings on Kate's life before and after John's death as he recounts Gettysburg's saga of star-crossed love.

"I was at once ordered to throw my whole corps to that point and hold it at all hazards." Perhaps no other Union Corps commander is more invisible at Gettysburg than Major General George Sykes. Along with another more notable Corps Commander, he has no monument. But he did lead a Corps onto the field and this Corps provided valuable contributions towards the Union victory. Join us as we examine the efforts of his men and analyze why the Union 5th Corps isn't as celebrated as others are.

But that's not true. Did you know there are fortifications around the city from the Civil War? There are. Did you know that Pittsburgh isn't so far from West Virginia, which was still Virginia for a good portion of the war? Well, Rich Condon from Civil War Pittsburgh sat down with me to let you in on this little secret. Rich Condon is a public historian based out of Pittsburgh, although he began his career as a battlefield guide in Franklin, Tennessee. For nine years he has worked with a multitude of sites and organizations, including The Battle of Franklin Trust, Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall and Museum, Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, and Flight 93 National Memorial. Rich is a contributing writer for the Pennsylvania in the Civil War blog, and director of Civil War Pittsburgh – an organization focused on education and preservation regarding Western Pennsylvania's role in the American Civil War.

Of course you didn't know that. I just made it up and, while it may not be scientifically true, we all know it to be true. It's just that no one has been able to prove it in a study yet. So, help the scientists gather data for our health. Join today https://www.patreon.com/addressinggettysburg While with the Park Service, Scott Hartwig wrote an essay entitled "High Water Mark Heroes, Myth and Memory." It covers the piece of ground that includes landmarks such as "The Angle" and "The Copse of Trees" and answers some questions about just where Pickett's and Pettigrew's divisions were heading on July 3, 1863. Was their objective the Copse of Trees or Zeigler's Grove? What about Cemetery Hill? Scott joins us to dispell the myths that have popped up over the years since the battle of Gettysburg.

ACHTUNG! The date for this tour is May 28. This episode was recorded in January, prior to learning that Tim and Garry decided to do their tour on May 21st.

Always check the link below for the correct date of all tours. "To stop was destruction. To retreat was disaster. To go forward was orders." July 1, 1863 proved to be a deadly day for both armies at Gettysburg, and despite the apparent defeat inflicted on the Union Army, their ability to inflict their own brand of punishment on Confederate units would later prove crucial in subsequent days.

One of my favorite Gettysburg books is Noah Andre Trudeau's "Gettysburg: A Testing of Courage." His writing style really made the story of the battle come alive and flow for me when I first read it in 2004. About a year ago, friend of the show, Steve Phan, mentioned that he knows author Noah Andre Trudeau. Finally, I decided to ask Steve to put us in touch so I could interview him. What an enjoyable time I had talking with Noah about writing history books. He's a very friendly man with a good sense of humor that comes through in this interview. I hope you enjoy.
