Addressing Gettysburg

THIS EPISODE IS NOT A PATREON PREVIEW. IT IS A FULL INTERVIEW The late Andrew Prine's wife, actress/producer/director Heather Lowe, was kind enough to sit down with me for an open interview about her late husband, who played "General Garnett" in the movie "Gettysburg." Andrew had a long and respectable career in theater, film and television spanning five decades. This episode is produced by Bo Bri...

Pastor Andy Hart is back. This time, he and I are exploring the Lost Cause. This isn't some definitive work on the matter. It's the first of many conversations I intend to have with historians about it. This discussion is more of an exploration of it as we begin to unpack the mess created over a century ago.   Join Grant and hundreds of other highly intelligent people in our Officers' Club at www....

Liberty where? Liberty Place. Not familiar with a Civil War battle by that name? Well, join the club. I wasn't either until LBG Kevin Bryant suggest a show about this battle which took place during reconstruction and involved Longstreet leading Louisiana troops and police on behalf of the United States against former Confederates. Say what? Press play and hear all about it.    Hear this entire epi...

THE VERMONT BRIGADE ON CEMETERY RIDGE (APRIL 20 – 10:00 A.M.)   "As soon as the change of the point of attack became evident, I ordered a flank attack upon the enemy's column….. I saw another rebel column charging immediately upon our left….Colonel Veazey, of the Sixteenth, was at once ordered to attack it in its turn upon the flank."   As Pickett's Division marched into history on July 3, 1863, s...

At dawn, July 3rd, the 20th Conn....

You all know and love Peter Miele and Codie Eash. They're great historians and they've shared a lot of what they've learned with us all, here on AG, at the museum and elsewhere. But who are they? How did they get to positions that make their names known to us all? Well, we get into that in the SPOTLIGHT ON, recorded last November in the refectory at the Seminary, in front of a live audience. Enjoy...

Allen R. Thompson, author of  In The Shadow of the Round Tops , stopped in to talk about his book. In this interview we really parse every detail we possibly can of Longstreet's Countermarch. Allen is a lawyer and, therefore, this book is written with a lawyer's approach, which I found refreshing. Who knew what and when did he know it? Was [ insert information here ] something that this person or...

Tom McMillan is back for the final installment about Gettysburg Rebels. This time, it's CW Hoffman and his sons. Hoffman owned a carriage-making business here in Gettysburg before the war. He decided, in the 1850s, to move his business closer to the bulk of his clients in Virginia. So he packed up and moved to Shepherdstown (now in West Virginia). A few of his employees decided to follow him. Do y...

**NOTE: This was recorded last Winter, during the old days when we recorded out of a shed with a failing solar power system. This interview went about ten minutes longer but a chunk of it had to be cut due to digital distortion that actually had nothing to do with the electrical issues. God bless Erik Dorr for saving us from that shed!***   This social and cultural history of Civil War medicine an...

The deep-bass tones of LBG Kvin Bryant return to sooth our ears with the story of Father William Corby, chaplain of the Irish Brigade and statue. Many a Gettysnerd knows the legend of Father Corby giving final absolution to the men of the Irish Brigade, regardless of denomination, before they went into battle on July 2, 1863 at Gettysburg. But what else do we know? Turns out there's plenty more to...

Time for another palate-cleanser. This time, courtesy of Erik Dorr at the Gettysburg Museum of History, actor Matthew Leitch ( Sgt.
