Longstreet at Gettysburg with Author Cory Pfarr Sep 13, 2021

Show notes

Originally released on December 11, 2019 on our Patreon feed. Lieutenant General James Longstreet is one of the more controversial figures of the war and, especially, the Battle of Gettysburg. But does the blame for the Confederate defeat at Gettysburg really rest on his shoulders? Author Cory M. Pfarr has had enough of Longstreet getting a bad rap, so he set out to set the record straight in his new book "Longstreet at Gettysburg: A Critical Reassessment". In this episode, Cory and I break down some of the points of contention about General Longstreet so that you can decide for yourself if he is the traitor his former cohorts made him out to be in the postwar years. Cory M. Pfarr works for the Department of Defense and is an American History author whose main interests span America's Revolutionary to Civil War years. He is the author of "John Quincy Adams's Republicanism: 'A Thousand Obstacles Apparently Stand Before Us'" (Massachusetts Historical Society, 2014) and Longstreet at Gettysburg: A Critical Reassessment (McFarland Publishers, 2019). He has also written articles for North & South Magazine and Gettysburg Magazine, and has appeared on the Pennsylvania Cable Network and C-SPAN American History TV. He lives in Pikesville, Maryland with his wife and three kids. We hope you enjoyed this free Patreon episode and decide to join us as a patron.

Ask A Gettysburg Guide #44- Lee's Wounded Wagon Train with LBG Tracy Baer Sep 06, 2021

Show notes

Tracy Baer stops by to talk about a fascinating, yet, rarely discussed aspect of the Gettysburg Campaign: the Army of Northern Virginia's wagon train during the retreat. The common information is that the train stretched 17 miles, but Tracy makes a good case as to why it was most likely much longer.

Killed at Gettysburg with Dr. Ashley Whitehead Luskey Aug 09, 2021

Show notes

NOTE- Beginning with this episode, Addressing Gettysburg will release two old Patreon episodes a month, in their entirety, FOR FREE. It won't be all Patreon episodes and it won't be any recent ones. Why are we doing this? Because we need your support to make more! Therefore, we're doing away with 15 minute previews. What's unique about our Patreon feed is that you're actually get something in return like interviews with authors, historians, actors from the movie Gettysburg and more. Depending on the tier you choose, you can get 2-4 episodes a month, videos and other special episodes created just for our Patrons. On Patreon, we don't shy away from controversial topics or opinions because we believe that, to learn, we must be willing to be uncomfortable and that requires open communication. So, we invite you to become a patron and learn with us by clicking here.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE

This episode was recorded at our first studio in the offices of Destination Gettysburg. Eric was not yet a part of the team. Bob Steenstra was still co-host and Matt's allergies were evident in his voice. Here is the original show description:

Dr. Ashley Whitehead Luskey is the assistant director of the Civil War Institute at Gettysburg College and heads up an ambitious project called "Killed at Gettysburg". KAG sets students on a journey back into the lives of the men killed during the battle. After their research is complete, the students create profiles on the project's website . Dr. Luskey sat down with Bob and I to discuss the project's history and goals. We think you'll find this fascinating.

"Brothers of War" with Author Michael Eisenhut Aug 02, 2021

Show notes

WE'RE BACK FROM BREAK! 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 Enjoy this Patreon Preview.

Ask A Gettysburg Guide #43- Little Round Top- with Garry Adelman Aug 02, 2021

Show notes

You asked. You begged. We waited for the right time and that time is nigh.

Garry Adelman joins us for the first of what we hope is many times to discuss Little Round Top. We try to put LRT in its true importance in the Battle of Gettysburg. Did the Union Army and perhaps the Union itself hinge on one little regiment of barely-tested Mainers? Did the fighting for Little Round Top end when Joshua Chamberlain and the 20th Maine finished mopping the floor with the Alabama boys? What was behind Little and Bog Round Tops that might have made it an even worse day for Hood's Division had he been allowed to "go around to the riiiight"?

Tune in and find out.

Battle of Gettysburg FREE Tour- July 17- #GetOutOfTheCar- Farnsworth's Charge Jul 12, 2021

Show notes

"Farnsworth, if you don't charge that battery, I will" On Day 3 of the Battle of Gettysburg, as the Confederates made their way back towards Seminary Ridge after failing to breach the Union line, the armies had not seen the last of combat before nightfall. Ordered by his commander, Hugh Judson "Kill-Cavalry_ Kilpatrick, Elon Farnsworth led his own fatal charge against the Confederates, although of a very different nature than that of General Pickett. Join us as we examine this action and some of the ground which helped make it folly. Bring your tick spray!

Come out to Gettysburg on July 17. Tour starts at 10AM so be there beforehand. PARK WHERE LEGAL. DO NOT PARK ON GRASS. Park legally between the William Wells Monument and the public restroom lot.
