Strong Vincent- with Jenn Bennie From Walk With History Apr 24, 2026

Show notes

Walk With History's Jenn Bennie stopped in the studio a while back to talk abot one of her favorite figures from the Battle of Gettysburg: Brigadier General (Colonel during the battle) Strong Vincent.

Vincent was born in Waterford, Pennsylvania. He attended Trinity College and Harvard University, graduating in 1859. He practiced law in Erie, Pennsylvania. In 1861 he was commission lieutenant-colonel in the 83rd PA and assumed command of the brigade after its commander resigned following the battle of Chancellorsville.

He was mortally wounded during the fight for Little Round Top on July 2, 1863 and died on July 7, 1863 at the age of 26.

NEW SERIES! Tavern Talks S1E1 - "Naked and Starving As They Are": Valley Forge | Kenneth Gavin | America250 Apr 22, 2026

Show notes

We'd like to invite you to subscribe (for free) to our YouTube Channel. In 2026, its name will change from Addressing Gettysburg to Addressing History so as to enable us to produce new content that explores a wider breadth of American history. Our first attempt at that was produced last year and we just released the first episode of this new series. It's called "Tavern Talks" and our goal is to give we, the People, equal footing with our historian guests in a way no one else cares to try. Our first episode is about Valley Forge and features Kenneth Gavin. There are some visuals that you will not be able to see because this is the audio-only version, obviously. That's why we encourage you to bite the bullet and finally get over to YouTube and subscribe to our channel. See you there!

Did you know that more soldiers surrendered than died at the Battle of Gettysburg? Neither did I. That is until I did this interview with David Silkenat about his book, Raising the White Flag: How Surrender Defined the Civil War.

🔴Ask a Guide 125 1ST Minnesota at Gettysburg- with Ralph Siegel- America250 April 8m 2026, LIVE! at 7pm

This episode of Addressing Gettysburg's Ask a Gettysburg Guide provides a deep dive into the 1st Minnesota Volunteer Infantry, led by guest historian Ralph Siegel.

1. The Strategic Importance of the 1st Minnesota (1:11:12 - 1:49:13) Saving the Center: The discussion centers on the regiment's critical charge on July 2, 1863. Ralph explains how the unit was ordered to plug a dangerous gap in the Union line near the Pennsylvania Memorial location, effectively halting Willcox's Confederate brigade. Military Necessity: The panel debates whether this was a true military emergency or if the Confederate attack was already faltering. (2:58:10 - 2:58:36).

2. Analyzing the Casualty Data (1:41:14 - 1:47:05) Historical Accuracy: Ralph uses this as a lesson for battlefield guides: numbers are vital, but he notes that it is difficult to explain the internal experience of these men to modern visitors, as the soldiers were fighting in a state of automatic, combat-hardened instinct rather than calculating their own losses in real-time.

3. Legacy and Commemoration (1:49:39 - 2:07:04) The Commander's Resting Place: There is a specific investigation into why their commander, Colonel Nathan Messick, is buried in the National Cemetery (2:06:53 - 2:07:04). 4. Cultural Memory and Media (3:06:05 - 3:07:02)
