GNMP Winter Lecture Series- "Fighting for Loyalty: Political Life in the Army of the Potomac"- Dr Zachery Fry Jan 18, 2022

Dr. Zachary Fry, U.S. Army Command and General Staff College The citizen-soldiers who fought at Gettysburg represented the nation's diversity of political opinion. Whether at headquarters or around the rank-and-file campfire, partisan debate in the Army of the Potomac was usually bitter and personal. And the soldiers were not shy in assuming the role of moral and political conscience of the nation, particularly when antiwar voices threatened the Northern war effort. This lecture explores key moments in which the Union Army argued wartime politics under the public gaze, threatened home front dissent, and mobilized for political campaigning—all while fighting on the front lines of the nation's most devastating war.

Show notes

WARNING: If you can't handle frank discussion of life, medicine, anatomy, human interactions and excrement, you might want to skip this episode.

For years members of our audience who are in the medical field have been asking to do an episode about Civil War Medicine. We finally had the stars align and we welcome LBGs Rick Schroeder and Fran Feyock to the show for their first appearance. Both worked in the medical field as a surgeon and a nurse and have dedicated a lot of their guiding to programs about how the wounded were treated.

We wanted to get into the nitty-gritty, as much as possible, to talk about, not only the treatments, but also how different diseases and traumas affect the body. As always, our Patrons provided us with solid questions to ask.

Tim Smith Winter Lecture Series- The Early Commercialization of Gettysburg Dec 27, 2021

Show notes

This lecture is brought to you because of our Patrons. Thank them by joining them. Who knows? You might learn some more AND make a friend or two. Join the fun today! Click here

We know we said that we would have this week's lecture on video. But the day of, Tim had asked that we don't due to ownership and copyright concerns with the photos used (Tim explains this in the beginning). Therefore, next week begins the video versions of these lectures.

In this one, Tim talks about early commercial ventures starting right after the battle. While the Civil War ruined Gettysburg's economy, it gave Gettysburg a "new birth" of an economy: tourism. Ever since, there's been a constant struggle between preservation and commercialization. The fights of today are nothing new in the history of Gettysburg and they will probably never end.
