Robertson Jr. Literary Prize, The Civil War Library and Research Center2005 Bachelder-Coddington Literary Award, Robert E. Lee Civil War Round Table of Central New Jersey2005 Distinguished Writing Award, Army Historical Foundation In a groundbreaking, comprehensive history of the Army of Northern Virginia's retreat from Gettysburg in July 1863, Kent Masterson Brown draws on previously untapped sources to chronicle the massive effort of General Robert E. Lee and his command as they sought to move people, equipment, and scavenged supplies through hostile territory and plan the army's next moves. Brown reveals that even though the battle of Gettysburg was a defeat for the Army of Northern Virginia, Lee's successful retreat maintained the balance of power in the eastern theater and left his army with enough forage, stores, and fresh meat to ensure its continued existence as an effective force.

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.

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.

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. LBG Chris Bagley joins us for his first time on the show to talk about the horse at Gettysburg, which just so happens to be the name of his book.

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. 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. LBG Chris Bagley joins us for his first time on the show to talk about the horse at Gettysburg, which just so happens to be the name of his book. Sometimes we might overlook just how important beasts of burden like horses and mules were for Civil War armies, but they were. As you might have guessed, just like other species, there are different breeds of horses suited for various uses. This is a good episode for horse-lovers or just anyone who wants to end their day knowing something they didn't wake up knowing.
