Of course, Michael Shaara is the author who could very well be rsponsible for helping to reignite interest in Gettysburg in the latter portion of the 20th Century. Ken Burns cites the Killer Angels as the book that inspired him to make his epic documentary "The Civil War." That documentary brought Gettysburg a rise in visitation. Then, a few short years later, Ron Maxwell's "Gettysburg" was released and visitation soared. That movie came out when I was in 9th grade, or thereabouts, and it immediately captured my imagination. But Michael passed away before he could see any of this. His son, Jeff, dutifully picked up the torch and carried it on into a writing career yielding an impressive 18 titles. We'll have Jeff on shortly to talk about his own works. But, we asked him to first come on and talk about his father's work and his father, the man. Enjoy.

GNMP Winter Lecture Series- "The star of blue has turned to gold": Adams County's Native Sons in WWII- Dan Vermilya Jan 25, 2022

Show notes

Daniel Vermilya, Eisenhower National Historic Site (click link above to view program on our YouTube channel) World War II impacted every town and city across the United States. The towns and villages of Adams County, Pennsylvania were no different. Over 100 servicemen from Adams County were killed in action or died of their wounds in World War II. Of those, over a dozen were ultimately buried in Gettysburg National Cemetery. Some of these men were born and raised in Gettysburg. Others were tied to Adams County by their careers, education, or family. What they all had in common was they all called this area home. Join Park Ranger Dan Vermilya to explore the stories of these native sons of Adams County who made the ultimate sacrifice in the Second World War.

Author Michael Eisenhut came by the studio to talk about his first published novel about two brothers in the Iron Brigade at Gettysburg. Mike's a fun guy to talk to and we enjoyed talking to him about the process of writing historical fiction. "Brothers of War, The Iron Brigade at Gettysburg is a historical novel taking place during the American Civil War. Meticulously researched, the story is based on actual brothers and their squad who fought as members of the famed Iron Brigade, particularly the Nineteenth Indiana Volunteer Infantry regiment. This historical fiction not only puts readers into the middle of the Battle of Gettysburg, but also makes them feel as though they are among the soldiers marching, camping, and fighting in this epic story of the American Civil War." -Publisher
