Gettysburg Campaign 160th Anniversary Special- The Battle of Brandy Station Jun 09, 2023

Show notes

Back in September of 2022, Matt, Six Questions Lentz, LBGs Chris Army and Tracy Baer and friends went down to Culpeper, Virginia to take a tour of Brandy Station battlefields with Clark "Bud" Hall and then record a show on Fleetwood Hill. Bud has led a remakable effort to preserve hundreds of acres of battlefield over the decades and it's truly an amazing place to visit. The grounds saw far more activity that just that famous cavalry battle on June 9, 1863.

From the American Battlefield Trust:

"Fought in the second week of June 1863, Brandy Station was the largest cavalry battle ever fought in North America. With momentum firmly in hand after his stunning victory at Chancellorsville, General Robert E. Lee decided to launch a second Northern invasion. On June 3, the Army of Northern Virginia began the movement away from Fredericksburg. The first leg of the march took the Confederates to Culpeper Court House. From there, Maj. Gen. J.E.B. Stuart's cavalry division was to screen the infantry as the march continued to the Shenandoah Valley. Stuart's concentration, however, was detected by Union cavalry led by Alfred Pleasonton. Under the assumption that Stuart planned a raid around his right flank toward Washington, Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker, the commander of the Army of the Potomac, directed Pleasonton to cross the Rappahannock River and destroy the Confederate cavalry. Early on the morning of June 9, Pleasonton sent columns over the Rappahannock at Beverly Ford and Kelly's Ford. Following the crossing at Beverly Ford, the Union troopers truck Stuart's camp in the vicinity of a rail station on the Orange & Alexandria Railroad, Brandy Station. The Confederates quickly rallied, and the Federals ran into stiff resistance at St. James Church and the Richard Cunningham farm. After moving over Kelly's Ford, the Union cavalry split up. One division headed for Brandy Station while the other made their way to Stevensburg. The arrival of blue troopers at Brandy Station threatened the rear of Stuart's position. Stuart countered by deftly shifting his brigades, and the two sides clashed in mounted combat on a long, low ridge that rose from the station called Fleetwood Hill. Correspondingly, Pleasonton's force at Stevensburg were stymied by Confederate horsemen. Unable to break through Stuart's position, Pleasonton abandoned the field after fourteen hours of fighting."

Civil War Relic Collecting with David Malgee May 15, 2023

Show notes

David Malgee is a "local hero", as I dubbed him on our Little Round Top video. He truly is. He's a well-respected man in the area who is generous with his time and money to help preserve the battlefield and make sure our history reaches as many people as possible. Dave has an extraordinary collection of artifacts, meticulously and beautifully displayed in his home. I've had the privilege of visiting it twice and I love it. I asked Dave to come on the show with a few of his favorite artifacts (and some by my request) to share with us. There is a video version of this episode available at the 1st Lieutenant level on our Patreon account in which you can see each artifact up close. Go to www.patreon.com/addressinggettysburg

Ask A Gettysburg Guide #72- Perry's Brigade- with LBGs Lewis Trott and Kevin Bryant May 15, 2023

Show notes

LBG Lewis Trott is joined by LBG Kevin Bryant in this episode, which is Kevin's first one on Addressing Gettysburg.

One brigade that doesn't get much attention when discussing the Battle of Gettysburg is that of Brigadier General Edward Perry. Perry wasn't here, however. He was sick with typhoid fever. Colonel Lang commanded the briagde in Perry's absence. Lang was a graduate of the Georgia Military Institute.

Perry's (Lang's) small brigade was comprised of all the Florida regiments which served with the Army of Northern Virginia at the time. It took part in the assauts of both July 2nd and 3rd advancing from the woods on Seminary Ridge and past Emmitsburg Road. Both times they were turned back by Union forces.
