GNMP Winter Lecture Series- February 20, 2022 – Framing the Fields

Brrrrr....It's so COLD outside these days. Right? I mean, what, is it Winter or somethin'? You stay in the warmth of your hearth and home and let Addressing Gettysburg bring Gettysburg to you as you save your energy and pennies for your trip to Gettysburg during the months that are conducive to human beings being outdoors. And while you do that, siphon some of those pennies to help support those who are willing to freeze in order to go and record these lectures. And what's most exciting for you is that there are two episodes on our Patreon with Dr. Titus where we explore some of the thigs mentioned in this lecture in more depth.

Join Supervisory Park Ranger Angie Atkinson as she delves into this important era in battlefield creation and looks at how many of these things came to be.
