The discussion covers appearances on the 'Addressing Gettysburg' podcast, the poignant story of Elizabeth Thorn, a pregnant caretaker during the battle, and other compelling tales, such as the life and legacy of Jenny Wade, the only civilian casualty, and Strong Vincent Bushman, named after the Gettysburg hero.
