Love is as old as the day is long. It's a many-splendored thing. But was is just as real and complicated and splendored in 19th-Century Victorian America as it is today? You bet it was! They just cloaked it better because they actually learned to write with a command of the English language and understood innuendo.

We're talking about the 16th Maine Regiment who, after their action on the First Day of the Battle of Gettysburg, had 38 men and 4 officers report for duty on Cemetery Hill.

It's the holiday season and, whatever holiday you celebrate, may it be a happy one for you and yours. As an extra "thank you" for your patronage, I slapped together this little tour through the music of Addressing Gettysburg. While I get the music from various sources, I'm focusing on the music that I actually produce with musicians I know or have musicians I know produce it for me from wherever they are. This isn't all of it, though. It's mostly songs that have been used in Antietam to Chancellorsville, INVASION! June, 1863 or will be used in future episodes. I pepper in some commentary on why it's used, or how it was recorded or why I use various versions of the same tune. It's probably just boring rambling to you, but I've always loved watching or listening to "making of" vignettes, so, I figure, that someone else out there must like that stuff too...otherwise they wouldn't still make them! Happy holidays!

Codie Eash is back again to tickle your ears and broaden your mind with this interesting lecture about that time when the great Frederick Douglass came and spoke at Gettysburg. So, sit back, grab your favorite beverage, get out your notebook and learn from Codie.

From Codie:

"Written in Ink and Marked with Blood: Frederick Douglass's Gettysburg Address

On January 25, 1869, the formerly enslaved and self-emancipated activist, author, and lecturer Frederick Douglass visited Gettysburg. There, at the site of the Civil War's costliest engagement, Douglass delivered a speech in which he reflected upon the words spoken and deeds done on battlefields across the country during the "Abolition War" (as Douglass called it) from 1861-1865, and throughout the Reconstruction that followed. Through written word and commanding oratory, he brought meaning to the bloodletting of fallen Union soldiers and the martyred Abraham Lincoln, and placed the racial and political results of the war—constructive as well as destructive—within the context of world history. Join Codie Eash for this discussion of the motivations for Douglass's address, how it was received by those who heard it, and what it means in our collective memory today."
