August 09, 2021 Killed at Gettysburg with Dr. Ashley Whitehead Luskey
NOTE- Beginning with this episode, Addressing Gettysburg will release two old Patreon episodes a month, in their entirety, FOR FREE. It won't be all Patreon episodes and it won't be any recent ones. Why are we doing this? Because we need your support to make more! Therefore, we're doing away with 15 minute previews. What's unique about our Patreon feed is that you're actually get something in return like interviews with authors, historians, actors from the movie Gettysburg and more. Depending on the tier you choose, you can get 2-4 episodes a month, videos and other special episodes created just for our Patrons. On Patreon, we don't shy away from controversial topics or opinions because we believe that, to learn, we must be willing to be uncomfortable and that requires open communication. So, we invite you to become a patron and learn with us by clicking here.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE

This episode was recorded at our first studio in the offices of Destination Gettysburg. Eric was not yet a part of the team. Bob Steenstra was still co-host and Matt's allergies were evident in his voice. Here is the original show description:

Dr. Ashley Whitehead Luskey is the assistant director of the Civil War Institute at Gettysburg College and heads up an ambitious project called "Killed at Gettysburg". KAG sets students on a journey back into the lives of the men killed during the battle. After their research is complete, the students create profiles on the project's website . Dr. Luskey sat down with Bob and I to discuss the project's history and goals. We think you'll find this fascinating.

August 02, 2021 "Brothers of War" with Author Michael Eisenhut
WE'RE BACK FROM BREAK! Author Michael Eisenhut came by the studio to talk about his first published novel about two brothers in the Iron Brigade at Gettysburg. Mike's a fun guy to talk to and we enjoyed talking to him about the process of writing historical fiction. "Brothers of War, The Iron Brigade at Gettysburg is a historical novel taking place during the American Civil War. Meticulously researched, the story is based on actual brothers and their squad who fought as members of the famed Iron Brigade, particularly the Nineteenth Indiana Volunteer Infantry regiment. This historical fiction not only puts readers into the middle of the Battle of Gettysburg, but also makes them feel as though they are among the soldiers marching, camping, and fighting in this epic story of the American Civil War." -Publisher Enjoy this Patreon Preview.

August 02, 2021 Ask A Gettysburg Guide #43- Little Round Top- with Garry Adelman
You asked. You begged. We waited for the right time and that time is nigh.

Garry Adelman joins us for the first of what we hope is many times to discuss Little Round Top. We try to put LRT in its true importance in the Battle of Gettysburg. Did the Union Army and perhaps the Union itself hinge on one little regiment of barely-tested Mainers? Did the fighting for Little Round Top end when Joshua Chamberlain and the 20th Maine finished mopping the floor with the Alabama boys? What was behind Little and Bog Round Tops that might have made it an even worse day for Hood's Division had he been allowed to "go around to the riiiight"?

Tune in and find out.

"Farnsworth, if you don't charge that battery, I will" On Day 3 of the Battle of Gettysburg, as the Confederates made their way back towards Seminary Ridge after failing to breach the Union line, the armies had not seen the last of combat before nightfall.
