Civilian Casualties at Gettysburg Most people who study the American Civil War are aware that there were some 51,000 casualties associated with the Battle of Gettysburg. But when asked the number of civilian casualties the answer is invariably "just one." And although Jennie Wade, was in fact, the only civilian killed during the actual battle, there are others who died as a direct result of the fighting. A number of other civilians were wounded, and still others were taken prisoner. Depending on how you count, there are as many as 30 civilian casualties. Join Tim Smith, for the last of this winter's Sunday lectures this year, as he discusses the story of the lesser-known civilians who were casualties of the battle. The Farnsworth House at Gettysburg is once again hosting a winter Sunday lectures series featuring local historian Timothy H. Smith. As always, the groups will meet at Sweney's Tavern, with the programs starting at 6 p.m. Food and drinks are available, before, during, and after the program with weekly specials. Parking is available in rear of the Farnworth House.

Barbara Sanders, Gettysburg National Military Park Residents of Gettysburg and Adams County were not just passive observers of the 1863 battle. Its citizens included men who fought on both sides of the conflict, women who took in or traveled to the wounded after the battle, African Americans who dug the graves for the dead, and generations who worked to support the community from its modest time as county seat of government, to the site of a major battle, host of veterans' reunions, and creation of a National Park. Stories of its most noteworthy townspeople will illuminate this ever-changing community as a microcosm of a nation moving forward from immense conflict to create a universal symbol of freedom, sacrifice, equality and democracy.

John Hoptak, Gettysburg National Military Park On the evening of April 18, 1861, less than 72 hours after the surrender of Fort Sumter and President Abraham Lincoln's subsequent call-to-arms, the very first Northern volunteer soldiers arrived in the nation's beleaguered capital. Although long overshadowed in history by the more famous 6th Massachusetts Infantry, these soldiers composed the ranks of five companies of Pennsylvania militia who later became known as the "First Defenders." Attacked by a pro-secessionist/pro-Confederate mob in Baltimore on their journey south to Washington, these First Defenders shed some of the very first blood of what would become the country's bloodiest conflict. Included among those injured was Nicholas "Nick" Biddle, a sixty-five-year-old African American man who may have had escaped from slavery, and who now wore the uniform of one of the Pennsylvania companies. Join John Hoptak for a look at the fascinating life and story of Biddle, and the history of these lesser-known companies, their prompt response, and their place in American Civil War history.

NPS Interpretive Ranger and author, Troy Harman, came by the studio for the first time ever to talk about his latest book, "All Road Led to Gettysburg." As with most of Troy's work, "All Roads..." compels the reader to readjust his or her thinking/approach to studying the battle of Gettysburg. Just how much do roadways, railways and waterways factor into the movements of armies and the locations of the inevitable battles they fought, like the one at Gettysburg? History changes on the smallest factors, and, like "An Environmental History of the Civil War", Troy's book shows us just how much these seemingly insignificant things are far more integral to how history unfolds.

Jeff Irwin, Gettysburg National Miliary Park Gettysburg National Military Park has been rehabilitating both the Devil's Den as well as the Little Round Top. Archeologists have been conducting metal detector sweeps of areas where ground disturbance was anticipated. The archeological findings have the potential to shed light on the activities of individuals during and immediately following the fight. The program will highlight some of the current findings. This coupled with firsthand narrative accounts allows the park to enhance our understanding and interpretation.

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?

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). WE WILL THEN HEAD TO THE 61ST NY MONUMENT (NEAR THE CENTER OF THE WHEATFIELD) TO BEGIN THE TOUR.

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.
