LANGUAGE WARNING!! LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISED:

Earlier this year, we were contacted by someone from the Irreverent Warriors. Apparently, some of them are fans and they invited us to join them on their 9-11 Silkies Hike in Gettysburg National Military Park. We were honored and accepted the invitation. I brought along my handy recorder and roamed the line looking for interviews. I spoke with a good number of people about their service and why they're an Irreverent Warrior.

The MISSION of Irreverent Warriors is to bring veterans together using humor and camaraderie to improve mental health and prevent veteran suicide

The VISION of Irreverent Warriors is to be the force that unites the Veteran community and drives a healthy culture within its members. Through creative engagements, events, and strong Veteran-based support networks, we will be known as the catalyst for improving the Veteran outlook.

Addressing Gettysburg- Men Is Cheap with Brian Luskey Oct 11, 2021

Show notes

When a Civil War substitute broker told business associates that "Men is cheep here to Day," he exposed an unsettling contradiction at the heart of the Union's war effort. Despite Northerners' devotion to the principles of free labor, the war produced rampant speculation and coercive labor arrangements that many Americans labeled fraudulent. Debates about this contradiction focused on employment agencies called "intelligence offices," institutions of dubious character that nevertheless served the military and domestic necessities of the Union army and Northern households. Northerners condemned labor agents for pocketing fees above and beyond contracts for wages between employers and employees. Yet the transactions these middlemen brokered with vulnerable Irish immigrants, Union soldiers and veterans, former slaves, and Confederate deserters defined the limits of independence in the wage labor economy and clarified who could prosper in it. Men Is Cheap shows that in the process of winning the war, Northerners were forced to grapple with the frauds of free labor. Labor brokers, by helping to staff the Union military and Yankee households, did indispensable work that helped the Northern state and Northern employers emerge victorious. They also gave rise to an economic and political system that enriched the managerial class at the expense of laborers--a reality that resonates to this day. Available here "Men Is Cheap" is published by the University of North Carolina Press.

Ask A Gettysburg Guide #46- The Pennsylvania Reserves: The Saviors of Little Round Top- with LBG Charlie Fennell Oct 04, 2021

Show notes

Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain and the 20th Maine, single-handedly saved Little Round Top from capture by Hood's Confederates. Everybody knows this, for, the movie tells us so. Right? Not right. They were one part of the fight for the rocky hill. Very little is told about Eric the Producer's favorite division in the Army of the Potomac, The Pennsylvania Reserves, and how they saved the other flank on Little Round Top as the fighting on the southern end of the field waned.

Charlie Fennell joins us as we shine the spotlight on Eric who does a great job telling us about the PA Reserves.

October 16 #GetOutOfTheCar2021- Wrights Brigade Oct 04, 2021

Show notes

"It is not as hard to get there as it looks . . . The real difficulty is to stay there after you get there . . . " The Confederate assault of July 3, 1863 is one of the most famous charges in all of military history. But it was not the first time Confederates had traversed the same ground. July 2, 1863 also saw a brigade of Rebels march across the same field to try and break the Union line on Cemetery Ridge. Cross the rarely-visited Spangler Farm as we walk the path of Wright's Brigade to see how close they came to their goal.

"Twilight of the Blue and Gray" with Christopher Gwinn Sep 27, 2021

Show notes

We hope you enjoy this FREE full episode from our Patreon catalogue and consider becoming a patron today, in order to help keep the show going and growing. This episode originally aired on December 11, 2019. Patrons get to hear these episodes, recorded especially for them, long before the public.

75 years after the Battle of Gettysburg, just under 2000 Civil War veterans, who wore both blue and gray, gathered together on Gettysburg's hallowed fields one last time before passing on into history. This was also the year that 450,000 Americans descended on the place to see President Franklin Delano Roosevelt dedicate the Eternal Peace Light Memorial on the third day of the reunion. As you will hear, it was quite the undertaking to put on and, in typical American fashion, it was not without its controversies, especially over that Rebel Battle Flag, but perhaps not for the reasons you would assume.

Gettysburg National Military Park's Chief of Interpretation and Education Christopher Gwinn joins us to talk about his 2019 Winter Lecture Series lecture entitled "Twilight of the Blue and Gray"

"

"Confederate Artillery Leadership at Gettysburg" featuring LBG Rob Abbott

The only Confederate artillery personality most people know is Edward Porter Alexander, " How old are you son?" Confederate artillery seems to be the noisy window dressing for the battle. Who are these men? Exactly what are they doing? Join LBG Rob Abbott as we explore the senior Confederate Artillery leadership, the Army and Corps Chiefs of Artillery, and the battalion commanders. We will also discuss artillery tactics, challenges, and logistics. Finally, we will point out some unique types of cannon and showcase a few individual batteries. Meeting Place: Oak Hill by the Carter's Battalion tablet. Second stop will be by the Virginia State Monument on West Confederate Avenue and the third and final stop will be the "Longstreet" War Department Tower on West Confederate Avenue. The walk will be easy, mostly on fairly-level grass or pavement." You MUST pre-register for this tour. Click here to register!
