Show notes

LBGs Ralph Siegel and Jessie Wheedleton care. They care about ye who want to become guides here at Gettysburg. Therefore, they're on the show to clue you in to the realities of guiding. Are you going to be that "Rock Star Guide" you fantasized about night after night? Or are you most likely going to give tours to sweaty, bored families, dreaming about their reservation at the Chinese Buffet? Actually, the buffet is good, so I wouldn't blame them. But, the latter is the answer. But they answer many other questions besides that one. So, sit back, open your mind and hit play. If you're driving, sit up straight, 10 and 2, and press play.

Show notes

THIS EPISODE DROPS LIVE ON PATREON at 7:30 AM EST TODAY! Join and listen with fellow Gettysnerds

You know how we like to do a series of shows on one topic. Right? Right. Well, this episode is the first on the subject of Reconstruction. I know, I know. You're saying "Reconstruction? How boring." Or maybe, "Reconstruction? Whatever, dude." And some of you are probably saying things I haven't anticipated and probably don't want to hear anyway.

Rich Condon joins us to talk about Reconstruction during the war. That's right. It started during the war, not after. See? Interesting already. Seriously, to understand our country today, we must include the Reconstruction Era and not just the war. A lot of the nonsense we were raised to believe about the war came about in this period. thus, we embark on our journey into how to rebuild a country that you just destroyed. Enjoy!

The Guide Exam is coming and you're nervous. We can feel it. That's why we've been working for 5 years on our Patreon channel to build a library of episodes for you to devour about so many aspects and angles of the Battle of Gettysburg, its actions, participants and the Civil War Era as a whole. There are literally hundreds of episodes waiting for you there. These episodes feature guests from all walks in the history field. Even actors from the movie (you don't think you'll be asked about the movie on a tour?). We even go so far as to interview modern-day combat vets about their experiences so that you might understand what the Civil War soldiers might have gone through. You're really missing out if you're not a 1st or 2nd Lieutenant on Patreon. You can even try a FREE 7-day trial so that you can see why 9 out o 11 chiropractors agree that being a Patron of Addressing Gettysburg is the best way to truly understand the Battle of Gettysburg. See you there!

Searching For George Gordon Meade with Tom Huntington Aug 05, 2024

Show notes

Tom Huntington is back on the show to talk about his book Searching For George Gordon Meade. Naturally, we meander off-topic for a bit, but it's all relevant stuff. Don't forget to check out Tom's blog too! Here's the books' description:

"While researching Searching for George Gordon Meade: The Forgotten Victor of Gettysburg, author Tom Huntington visited a severed leg, a buried arm, and a horse's head. He also hiked across Civil War battlefields, recited the names of fallen soldiers at a candlelit ceremony at Gettysburg, and drank a champagne toast in a Philadelphia cemetery on New Year's Eve. It was all part of his quest to learn more about the man who commanded the victorious Union army at the Civil War's Battle of Gettysburg, yet has been unfairly overlooked by history in the years since. Although in command of the Army of the Potomac for a mere three days before the battle, Major General George Gordon Meade managed to defeat Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia during three days of vicious fighting. The cantankerous general remained in command of the army for the rest of the war even as he watched his reputation decline. "I suppose after awhile it will be discovered I was not at Gettysburg at all," he griped in a letter to his wife. Searching for George Gordon Meade is not your typical Civil War biography. While Huntington does tell the story of Meade's life, he also provides first-person accounts of his visits to the battlefields where Meade fought and museums that cover the Civil War. He includes his conversations with experts, enthusiasts, curators, park rangers and even a Meade impersonator to get their insights. The result is a compelling mash-up of history, biography, travel and journalism that touches both past and present."

Studying for the guide exam and you're not yet a Patron? Hoofah! With hundreds of episodes covering everything from the poltical, cultural and military aspects of the 1860s, as well as shows with your potential future colleagues about the Battle of Gettysburg to learn from, you'll be doing yourself a favor when you join and binge all 300+ episodes from now until December. Join here www.patreon.com/addressinggettysburg and find out why even currently licensed guides are Patrons. 1st and 2nd Lieutenants get every episode released in a month

The Gettysburg Electric Map with Marc Charisse Jul 29, 2024

Show notes

Marc Charisse is the former editor of the Hanover Evening Sun and, now, he hosts showings of the historic Gettysburg Electric Map. We discuss its history from creation to destruction by the park service to recovery and rehabilitation by private citizens with a love and respect for our history and the artifacts associated with it. Marc is also a magician and he showed me some tricks that only made me feel stupid once I learned how they work.

You can visit the map to this day. Marc gives the info in the show.
