Addressing Gettysburg

Historian and Patron Kenneth Gavin joins us to talk about Gettysburg during the American Revolution. That's right, it existed before July 1, 1863. This is Part 1 of a 2-part series exploring the make-up of the town, how it contributed to the war effort, the economy and more. I really enjoyed learning about Gettysburg in a different era of American history and I think you will too. Ken is an engaging guest and we will have him on often.

LBG Paul Bailey joins us for the first time on an Ask A Guide to talk about the Army of the Potomac's Major General John Newton. A Virginian who remained loyal to his oath to the United States of America, Newton participated in the construction of the Washington defenses, led a brigade in the Peninsula Campaign and worked his way up to the rank of major general and controversially commanding the 1st Corps here at Gettysburg. There's so much more to this man and Paul tells us in an engaging way.

Author Ron Kirkwood comes in to talk about the sequel to his book "Too Much For Human Endurance" entitled "Tell Mother Not To Worry". In this interview, we fly by the seat of our pants because I messed up not realizing I had received a digital copy of the book while waiting for a hard copy. Silly Matt. But Ron is easy to talk to and it came out pretty good, much to our surprise.

Historian Carolyn Ivanoff sits down with Bethany and Veronica to talk about the one and only Clara Barton. Clarissa Barton was an American nurse who founded the American Red Cross. She was a hospital nurse in the American Civil War, a teacher, and a patent clerk. Since nursing education was not then very formalized and she did not attend nursing school, she provided self-taught nursing care.
