Ask A Gettysburg Gui...Actor #22- Bo Brinkman Sep 25, 2020

Show notes

In this special edition of Ask A Gettysburg Guide Actor, we put our study of the Battle of Gettysburg on hold to talk to Bo Brinkman, one of the cast of the movie Gettysburg, about the making of the film that brought so many of us Gettysnerds to become students of the battle. This is brought to you without commercial interruption by the good folks over at the American Battlefield Trust. I'm sure you already know what great work they do in saving the sacred ground of our country. Well they also did your buddies at Addressing Gettysburg a great favor by allowing us the use of General Lee's Headquarters on Seminary Ridge. The ABT preserves battlefields and educates the public about America's formative conflicts and why they matter today.

You can visit them at battlefields.org for videos, maps and thousands of articles.

Besides the Lee's Headquarters site (which they preserved and restored) they have preserved more than 800 additional acres in and around Gettysburg.

They are currently trying to preserve land along the Baltimore Pike on Cemetery Hill and at the base of Big Round Top. Find more Information and donate to the cause at www.battlefields.org.

And I'd like to personally thank Tim Smith for getting us in touch with Garry Adelman and also Garry Adelman for setting this up with a day's notice. SOMEDAY we will get Garry in the show. He is highly requested by our listeners.

If you're a patron of ours, you've heard our guest on the show before alongside Patrick Gorman. You, of course, know him as Major Walter Taylor, who apparently had a love of flapjacks in small mountains, in the movie Gettysburg. But he is also a writer, director and producer known for the 2016 film The Last Man Club, starring the late Morgan Sheppard who you know as General Isaac Trimble,he was in Swing State and produced and directed the upcoming film The Bay House among many others. Welcome, the great Bo Brinkman.

GNMP Interpretive Programs Update- FALL 2020 Sep 14, 2020

Show notes

Here is the first installment of a new feature of Addressing Gettysburg. We get many questions from listeners and social media followers about what the Park Service is doing in relation to this or that. While I'm flattered that people turn to us for such information, we really are no more "in the know" than you are. Ok, maybe a touch more. So, we decided to change that by inviting Chief of Interpretation and Education, Christopher Gwinn, to come on the show once a quarter for recaps of the last quarter and a preview/updates on the quarter to come in relation to the interpretive programs GNMP will offer. We hope you find this informative and that it further inspires you to visit Gettysburg National Military Park.

Ask A Gettysburg Guide #21- Little Round Top- with Jim Pangburn Sep 03, 2020

Show notes

Rain. Thunder! A gift from a listener and a shocking gift for Eric the Producer, from Matt. That's how this episode starts off before LBG Jim Pangburn takes questions about Little Round Top during the Battle of Gettysburg. Podcast listening is a good way to start your journey into history, but it doesn't replace touring the battlefield yourself, or, better yet, with a Licensed Battlefield Guide. Shoot us an email at matt@addressinggettysburg.com if you'd like to book one of our guides for a tour.

Questions cover:

Vincent's Brigade
Crawford's 5 acre memorial to his troops
Captain Johnston's Reconnaisannce
Paddy O'Rorke's Nose
The March of Law's Brigade
Restoration proposals for Little Round Top
Was Little Round Top really that valuable for the Confederates?

and more!

Questions are submitted by Patrons in the 2nd Lieutenant tier right here.

PATREON PREVIEW-Jari Villanueva of the Federal City Brass Band Sep 02, 2020

Show notes

Jari Villanueva is the director of the Federal City Brass Band/ 26th North Carolina Regimental Band. He was kind enough to send me two of their CDs last year for use in our narrative episodes. We'd been trying to coordinate our schedules for about two months now for this interview and finally made it happen. I thought it would be fun to go through the songs I chose for the narratives and, first, explain my thinking behind the choice from an artistic standpoint and then follow it up with Jari giving a history of the song. Turns out, I unwittingly chose songs that were more appropriate than I was aware of, in some cases.

Jari is also "instrumental" in the popular and moving "100 Nights of Taps" here at Gettysburg National Cemetery.

Ask A Gettysburg Guide #20- Barlow's Knoll Aug 20, 2020

Show notes

Matt, Tim and Bob discuss the fateful decision of Major General Francis CHANNING Barlow to move his division to the Knoll that now bears his name. In comparison to other locations like The Peach Orchard or Little Round Top, Barlow's Knoll is one of the lesser-talked-about phases of The Battle of Gettysburg. Podcast listening helps, but visiting places like Barlow's Knoll and hearing or reading the story of it makes it come alive. Be sure to include a trip to Gettysburg in your travel plans.

This episode is bright to you without commercial interruption thanks to the generosity of our Patrons. By the way, we reached 100 as of the uploading of this episode. Join our community by clicking here!

"Why Gettysburg?" Aug 18, 2020

Show notes

We asked our Patrons to send in a recording answering the question "Why Gettysburg?" There was no explanation by what we mean by "why". The exercise is to see how the person interprets the word and to see what they come up with. The answers are interesting for many reasons, but there seems to be a thread of spirituality running through it. People love Gettysburg for more than the Battle of Gettysburg. That might start them off, but, once they visit, something invades their souls. Some call it the "Gettysburg Bug". We call it the "Gettysbug" because we're cheesy like that.

We hope you enjoy this one-off episode and that you'll consider becoming a Patron
