    Episode 4: The Peach Orchard at Gettysburg - Part One Aug 07, 2019
    Show notes

    The first of a two-part series which will focus on the ferocious, yet often overlooked, fighting in and around the Peach Orchard owned by Joseph Sherfy and his family. In part one, Eric and Jim give background on the property and discuss the plans of General Robert E. Lee and his army for the Peach Orchard and the Emmitsburg Road on July 2, 1863.


    They also detail and discuss the motivations for Major General Daniel Sickles and his Union Third Corps to move forward to the position in one of the most controversial decisions of the battle, and the disruptions they will cause to not only the Union battle line but to the Confederate plan of attack as well.

    Since there was so much material to cover the decision was made to turn the Peach Orchard into a two-part series with Episode Four covering the background and planning on July 2, and Episode Five a detailed look at the fighting in the area.

    Episode 3: “What If Jackson Were At Gettysburg?" - Richard Ewell and July 1 Jul 30, 2019
    Show notes

    In Episode Three, Eric and Jim delve into the often-asked question of "what if Jackson were at Gettysburg?" While not an alternative history episode the premise is to use the question as a means to compare and contrast Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson and Richard Ewell in their roles as commanders of the Second Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia. Would the battle have been different? Was there a significant drop off in leadership ability and performance? The answers to these questions from the hosts might surprise you and challenge long-held assumptions on the fighting of July 1.
