Tim Smith, once again, dazzles us with information we might not have heard and intelligent perspectives. This week's topic is "The Other Round Top". You're obsessed with the little one, but how much do you know about what all went on on the big one?

Brrrrr....It's so COLD outside these days. Right? I mean, what, is it Winter or somethin'? You stay in the warmth of your hearth and home and let Addressing Gettysburg bring Gettysburg to you as you save your energy and pennies for your trip to Gettysburg during the months that are conducive to human beings being outdoors. And while you do that, siphon some of those pennies to help support those who are willing to freeze in order to go and record these lectures.

Barbara Sanders, Gettysburg National Military Park Were Civil War doctors operating as in the Dark Ages? Were the 2,400 Gettysburg civilians left alone to care for the 51,000 battle casualties? Did Lincoln really write the Gettysburg Address on the back of an envelope during the train ride to town? Even after the guns fell silent, Gettysburg was the scene of great chaos, hardship, and sacrifice. But lingering within the mists of this increasingly reverential landscape were several unknowns, some half-truths, and outright falsities. This lecture will explore the myths surrounding Gettysburg, from the immediate aftermath of battle to the dedication ceremony on November 19th and up to repeated myths by some of today's visitors.

When you can't come to Gettysburg, Addressing Gettysburg brings Gettysburg to you. And, so far, we've only been able to scratch the surface of doing that. With more Patrons, we will eventually be able to bring you more. So please consider becoming a Patron and receive exclusive episodes, prior knowledge of events and more! https://www.patreon.com/  

Brig. Gen. Ty Seidule, Hamilton College Ty Seidule grew up revering Robert E. Lee. From his southern childhood to his service in the U.S. Army, every part of his life reinforced the Lost Cause myth: that Lee was the greatest man who ever lived, and that the Confederates were underdogs who lost the Civil War with honor. Now, as a retired brigadier general and Professor Emeritus of History at West Point, his view has radically changed. From a soldier, a scholar, and a southerner, Ty Seidule believes that American history demands a reckoning.

Just a little update on what's going on with Addressing Gettysburg. There's one minor change for February and early March, but we're sure you'll understand. Meanwhile, we still have you covered. Press play. You'll see what I mean
