Show notes

Welcome to LBG Stu Dempsey on his first appearance on Addressing Gettysburg.

In this episode, we talk about Oliver O Howard's XI Corps (that's 11th Corps for those of you who don't speak Roman). Over the year's the prejudices of the the XI Corps' contemporaries have remained with them as subsequent generations studied the battle. But were they true or were they unfair? Well, Stu helps us learn about the XI Corps and what they did both at Chancellorsville and Gettysburg so that you can decide if they were "Those Damned Dutch" or just unfairly remembered. Perhaps both? Click play and decide for yourself!

#GetOutOfTheCar2021- May 15- Schimmelfennig's Brigade- with Lewis Trott May 04, 2021

Show notes

"…I lost all my officers killed and wounded and most of my men" July 1, 1863 brought the war to Gettysburg in a way only rumor had previously threatened. As the battle raged northwest and north of town, it was soon apparent to those living within town that it would shortly surge past their doorsteps. Come with us as we explore the stand of the 11th Corps on July 1, 1863 and examine some of the reasons for their subsequent forced retreat.

PATREON PREVIEW- Thaddeus Stevens with Ross Hetrick May 03, 2021

Show notes

Perhaps it's safe to say that most modern Americans might have heard of Thad prior to the movie "Lincoln" and, since that movie's release, many more know of him from Tommy Lee Jones' colorful performance of the man. Well, Mr. Jones was not exaggerating the character of Thaddeus Stevens. What an interesting and colorful man he truly was! And, we would argue, the father of modern American society. This is a MUST LISTEN! Our guest, Ross Hetrick, is head of the Thaddeus Steven Society From their website: "The Thaddeus Stevens Society is a non-profit group started in 1999 to promote the memory of Thaddeus Stevens, the most powerful congressman during and after the Civil War and a champion of freedom and equality. We hold seminars, have trips to historic places associated with Stevens and support efforts to restore sites related to Stevens." Be sure to check them out and lend your support if you can.

Show notes

Lewis Trott joins us for our first #Getoutofthecar2021 Ask A Gettysburg Guide. Now you don't have to come to our tours without any prior knowledge of the area and troops we will get to know.

April 17th's tour:

"My God, young man…if you go out there with your regiment they will swallow you!" As the Confederates under Lt. General Richard Ewell swept westward on the late afternoon of July 2, 1863, their task was a literal uphill battle as they climbed the northern slopes of Culp's Hill. The men of the Union 12th Corps had spent all day preparing their welcome until they were ordered away, leaving only George Sears Greene's 1400-man brigade behind. Join us as we explore the defenses of the northern part of Culp's Hill and explain just how arduous a task the Confederates actually had.

This show and tour is brought to you by our friends at Mason Dixon Distillery. Mention Addressing Gettysburg during your visit this year and get one free dessert PER ENTREE!

Jim Pangburn joins us this time to answer these homeless, but good, questions. Enjoy and learn!

PATREON PREVIEW- Gettysburg Ties to the Battle of the Little Bighorn- with Jim Hessler Apr 05, 2021

Show notes

Jim Hessler and I love the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Sometimes, we need a palate-cleanser from all this Gettysburg-stuff and, so, I invited Jim on to talk about Gettysburg connections to the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Several officers who served with the 7th Cavalry were veterans of the Battle of Gettysburg, most famously, of course, was General Custer, but another name that many know is that of Myles Keogh, who served on Buford's staff here at Gettysburg. There are others too. You'll just have to watch.
