Maine Roads to Gettysburg- with Tom Huntington Sep 19, 2022

Show notes

Keep your favorite history podcast going! Become a patron here: www.patreon.com/addressinggettysburg Author Tom Huntington joins Matt to talk about his book "Maine Roads To Gettysburg" from which we talk about the 16th, 17th and 19th Maine. Sorry, Chamberlain fans, we decided to talk about the OTHER Maine units this time, but we'll do the 20th some time soon. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain and his 20th Maine regiment made a legendary stand on Little Round Top during the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863. But Maine's role in the battle includes much more than that. Soldiers from the Pine Tree State contributed mightily during the three days of fighting. Pious general Oliver Otis Howard secured the high ground of Cemetery Ridge for the Union on the first day. Adelbert Ames--the stern taskmaster who had transformed the 20th Maine into a fighting regiment--commanded a brigade and then a division at Gettysburg. The 17th Maine fought ably in the confused and bloody action in the Wheatfield; a sea captain turned artilleryman named Freeman McGilvery cobbled together a defensive line that proved decisive on July 2; and the 19th Maine helped stop Pickett's Charge during the battle's climax. Maine soldiers had fought and died for two bloody years even before they reached Gettysburg. They had fallen on battlefields in Virginia and Maryland. They had died in front of Richmond, in the Shenandoah Valley, on the bloody fields of Antietam, in the Slaughter Pen at Fredericksburg, and in the tangled Wilderness around Chancellorsville. And the survivors kept fighting, even as they followed Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia into Pennsylvania. Maine Roads to Gettysburg tells their stories.

AG On Campaign- Devil's Den Turns 25- with Garry Adelman and Tim Smith Sep 12, 2022

Show notes

We asked Garry Adelman and Tim Smith to join us for our second in-person show of 2022. This time, we set up at Camp Farnsworth, a hidden gem right off the alley behind the Farnsworth House. It's a great spot to hold a party, if you're ever in the mind to.

Garry and Tim's Devil's Den book came out 25 years ago and, as can be expected with these fellas, there are funny stories, new information and general fun during the interview.

But first, our wildly popular game show "Whose Line Is It Anyway But You Have To Name The Person He's Saying It To" in which Cam tries to redeem himself from his abysmal showing on our live show in February. Does one of his challengers pummel him or does he finally come out on top? Some say he's the "Rudy" of Addressing Gettysburg.

And, finally, our audience members get to ask Tim and Garry their questions personally.

Thank you to all of our sponsors for this episode, the Farnsworth House and our awesome listeners who bought tickets and made the night exceptionally fun!

John Reynolds and Kate Hewitt- The NEW Evidence- with Jeffrey Harding Sep 05, 2022

Show notes

This episode is being released on my sister's birthday. Like me, she turned 39 again this year. While it's my 6th time, it her 4th. So, happy birthday, Karen! Had a great conversation with LBG and author Jeffrey Harding about his new book "Gettysburg's Lost Love Story: The Ill-Fated Romance of General John Reynolds and Kate Hewitt." We all know the tiniest fraction of the story about Major General John Reynolds and his secret love, Kate Hewitt. But did you know the REST of the story? No you didn't, because no one had unearthed until Jeffrey set out to write this book. BOOK DESCRIPTION: Union general John Reynolds was one of the most beloved and respected military leaders of the Civil War, yet beyond the battlefield, the captivating true story of his secret romance with Catherine "Kate" Mary Hewitt remains etched into his legacy. Clandestinely engaged before John marched off to war, the couple's love remained a secret. Kate made a poignant "last promise," a commitment to enter into a religious life if her beloved were to be killed. Tragically, Reynolds lost his life leading troops into action during the opening phases of the Battle of Gettysburg. Within days Kate was embraced by the Reynolds family and soon began to honor her promise of a religious life. Yet a few years later she seemed to disappear. Author Jeffrey J. Harding unveils new findings on Kate's life before and after John's death as he recounts Gettysburg's saga of star-crossed love.

Get Out of the Car 2022- The V Corps Sep 01, 2022

Show notes

"I was at once ordered to throw my whole corps to that point and hold it at all hazards." Perhaps no other Union Corps commander is more invisible at Gettysburg than Major General George Sykes. Along with another more notable Corps Commander, he has no monument. But he did lead a Corps onto the field and this Corps provided valuable contributions towards the Union victory. Join us as we examine the efforts of his men and analyze why the Union 5th Corps isn't as celebrated as others are.

Civil War Pittsburgh-with Rich Condon Aug 08, 2022

Show notes

This full Patreon episode is brought to you for free and without commercial interruption by our Patrons. Wouldn't you like to be a part of a community committed to spreading the word about the Battle of Gettysburg? Why complain that no one knows history anymore when you can be a part of one of the solutions? Join your fellow #gettysnerds today! www.patreon.com/addressinggettysburg When thinking about the Civil War or the Gettysburg Campaign in particular, some people might not consider Pittsburgh, Pa to have anything more to do with it than manufacturing for the war effort. 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.
