Addressing Gettysburg

We are very excited to do a feed swap with the History Daily podcast. In this upload you will hear two of their episodes: The Battle of Gettysburg Begins and The Gettysburg Address. The Battle of Gettysburg Begins July 1, 1863. Confederate troops engage with Union troops outside of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, setting off one of the bloodiest and most important battles of the American Civil War. The Gettysburg Address November 19, 1863. In the midst of a bloody Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln delivers one of the most famous speeches in American History. From History Daily: "On History Daily, we do history, daily. Every weekday, host Lindsay Graham (American Scandal, American History Tellers) takes you back in time to explore a momentous event that happened 'on this day' in history. Whether it's to remember the tragedy of December 7th, 1941, the day "that will live in infamy," or to celebrate that 20th day in July, 1969, when mankind reached the moon, History Daily is there to tell you the true stories of the people and events that shaped our world—one day at a time. So if you're stuck in traffic, bored at work—wherever you are, listen to History Daily to remind yourself that something incredible happened to make that day historic. A co-production from award-winning podcasters Airship and Noiser."

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.

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. We just can't compete with them, even with a free tour to offer, so we changed the date to May 28. AGAIN, that's May 28. The 28th of May. 28/5/22 or 5/28/22. 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. Join us as we walk in the path of one of those unit's, the brigade of Colonel Abner Perrin, as they attacked the last Union line northwest of Gettysburg that afternoon. It's FREE!

The best way to ensure that happens (and to hear shows like this one in a timely manner) is to become a patron here https://www.patreon.com/addressinggettysburg ands we thank you in advance. 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.

Kent is a very easy person to talk to and we think you'll enjoy this episode. Description: "Although he took command of the Army of the Potomac only three days before the first shots were fired at Gettysburg, Union general George G. Meade guided his forces to victory in the Civil War's most pivotal battle. Commentators often dismiss Meade when discussing the great leaders of the Civil War. But in this long-anticipated book, Kent Masterson Brown draws on an expansive archive to reappraise Meade's leadership during the Battle of Gettysburg. Using Meade's published and unpublished papers alongside diaries, letters, and memoirs of fellow officers and enlisted men, Brown highlights how Meade's rapid advance of the army to Gettysburg on July 1, his tactical control and coordination of the army in the desperate fighting on July 2, and his determination to hold his positions on July 3 insured victory. Brown argues that supply deficiencies, brought about by the army's unexpected need to advance to Gettysburg, were crippling. In spite of that, Meade pursued Lee's retreating army rapidly, and his decision not to blindly attack Lee's formidable defenses near Williamsport on July 13 was entirely correct in spite of subsequent harsh criticism. Combining compelling narrative with incisive analysis, this finely rendered work of military history deepens our understanding of the Army of the Potomac as well as the machinations of the Gettysburg Campaign, restoring Meade to his rightful place in the Gettysburg narrative."

"I was directed to commence the attack as soon as General Hood became engaged……Beyond the morass was a stony hill….."

On February 26, 2022, Addressing Gettysburg did its first live-with-an-audience, on-location show and we learned one thing: look out, Rat Pack. There's a new night club act in town. But seriously, we had fun with guest co-host, Tim Smith and our special guests, Patrick Gorman and Bo Brinkman. Here are some of the highlights from this episode: -a good deal of movie trivia you may not have heard before -West Virginia Mountain Folklorist dazzles us all with vivid memories of watching the movie at the tender, non-memory-forming, age of 2. -the debut of the wildly popular game show "Whose Line Is It Anyway, Except You Have to Name Who the Person Is Speaking the Line To Or Something Like That" -the audience turns on Cam -Loring Shultz, owner of the Farnsworth House, sits down with Tim, Patrick and Bo, to discuss his memories of the actors hanging out there every Friday and Saturday night during filming, how his showcase of memorabilia came about and he finally dispells the rumor that he fed and watered the horses during the shoot. - "Six Questions" leads the charge of audience questioners AND MORE! Special thanks to Eric the Producer, the crew at the Farnsworth House (Lelan, Sarah, Libby and Becky), our audience for buying up all the tickets within the first 48 hours, Casey Turben for help with the sound system, and Jonjon Pinkerton for getting us in touch with other actors who have been on the show.

PRODUCER'S NOTE: The audio in this is a bit echoey. This is because the microphone was set up on the podium, but the speaker did not speak from the podium as planned. Once he started, I could not interrupt and tell him to move to the microphone. At points you will hear him more clearly as he goes back to the podium to read something. This is the beauty of documenting a moment, rather than producing a moment.

Were the 2,400 Gettysburg civilians left alone to care for the 51,000 battle casualties? Did Lincoln really write the Gettysburg Address on the back of an envelope during the train ride to town? Even after the guns fell silent, Gettysburg was the scene of great chaos, hardship, and sacrifice. But lingering within the mists of this increasingly reverential landscape were several unknowns, some half-truths, and outright falsities. This lecture will explore the myths surrounding Gettysburg, from the immediate aftermath of battle to the dedication ceremony on November 19th and up to repeated myths by some of today's visitors.

Ty Seidule, Hamilton College Ty Seidule grew up revering Robert E. Lee. From his southern childhood to his service in the U.S. Army, every part of his life reinforced the Lost Cause myth: that Lee was the greatest man who ever lived, and that the Confederates were underdogs who lost the Civil War with honor. Now, as a retired brigadier general and Professor Emeritus of History at West Point, his view has radically changed. From a soldier, a scholar, and a southerner, Ty Seidule believes that American history demands a reckoning.

Of course, Michael Shaara is the author who could very well be rsponsible for helping to reignite interest in Gettysburg in the latter portion of the 20th Century. Ken Burns cites the Killer Angels as the book that inspired him to make his epic documentary "The Civil War." That documentary brought Gettysburg a rise in visitation. Then, a few short years later, Ron Maxwell's "Gettysburg" was released and visitation soared. That movie came out when I was in 9th grade, or thereabouts, and it immediately captured my imagination. But Michael passed away before he could see any of this. His son, Jeff, dutifully picked up the torch and carried it on into a writing career yielding an impressive 18 titles. We'll have Jeff on shortly to talk about his own works. But, we asked him to first come on and talk about his father's work and his father, the man. Enjoy.

Daniel Vermilya, Eisenhower National Historic Site (click link above to view program on our YouTube channel) World War II impacted every town and city across the United States. The towns and villages of Adams County, Pennsylvania were no different. Over 100 servicemen from Adams County were killed in action or died of their wounds in World War II. Of those, over a dozen were ultimately buried in Gettysburg National Cemetery. Some of these men were born and raised in Gettysburg. Others were tied to Adams County by their careers, education, or family. What they all had in common was they all called this area home. Join Park Ranger Dan Vermilya to explore the stories of these native sons of Adams County who made the ultimate sacrifice in the Second World War.
