The final chapter of Episode 2

Chapter 3 takes you up to the night of June 30, 1863, the eve of the Battle of Gettysburg.

Where Are The Armies Now?

General Hooker spent June 26 moving his army across the Potomac. By nightfall, everyone was in Maryland except John Sedgwick's Sixth Corps and a portion of the cavalry. Frederick, Maryland, Hooker decided, would become the army's point of concentration.

The first wing of the Union Army to cross the Potomac, were the three corps under the command of Major General John F Reynolds.

Contrary to their orders, Confederate Cavalry commanders, Beverly Robertson and Grumble Jones failed to report this movement to JEB Stuart.

Back in Washington, Lincoln began showing signs of doubt in Hooker, according to Navy Secretary Gideon Welles, when he said, "Hooker may commit the same fault as McClellan and lose his chance." But Lincoln quickly added a sign of hope when he said, "We shall soon see, but it appears to me he can't help but win."...

Jennie Wade was the only Gettysburg civilian to die during the battle of Gettysburg. The house she died in, "The Jennie Wade House" (actually the house her sister was residing in and not Jennie's) is a museum you can tour today. Matt, Bob, Tim Smith and special guest Cindy Small circled their chairs around the statue of Jennie outside the house and dug into the story of her family, what we know of her short life, her death and new details from recently uncovered letters that shed a brighter light on what the nature of Jennie's relationship to Jack Skelly may have been.

Our Patrons know that something doesn't sit right with Matt regarding the circumstances surrounding her death. In this episode he tries to get to the bottom of it as well. Join our community by clicking here

The subject of Jennie Wade is one of the more popular, imagination-capturing aspects of the Battle of Gettysburg. Podcast listening is just one aspect of learning more. Nothing beats visiting Getttysburg, walking the fields, exploring our museums and taking a tour with a Licensed Battlefield Guide.

This episode was co-executive produced by Tim Smith. Special thanks to the good folks over at the Jennie Wade House for meeting with us after hours to record the show. Be sure to take a tour of the house when you visit!

October 17's tour is in conjunction with our adopt a position clean up. Meet at the North Carolina monument and follow the path of North Carolina troops as they marched over the smoldering ruins of the Bliss Farm. At the Bliss Farm we will pause to see the ruins and talk about what happened there on July 2 and 3. Then, we'll make our way to one of our adopted positions, that of the 111th NY and hear what they did during the battle of Gettysburg. Then we'll see what the Park Service needs help with and get our hands dirty doing some light yard work. Be sure to stick around for our traditional wet-plate group photo taken at the monument by Dave Wilson from Victorian Photography Studios on Steinwehr Ave. But the day isn't over yet. Take a few hours break and meet up with us at Mason Dixon Distillery for lunch and mingling. (You're responsible for your own food and drink once we get to the distillery.)

In this special edition of Ask A Gettysburg Guide Actor, we put our study of the Battle of Gettysburg on hold to talk to Bo Brinkman, one of the cast of the movie Gettysburg, about the making of the film that brought so many of us Gettysnerds to become students of the battle. This is brought to you without commercial interruption by the good folks over at the American Battlefield Trust. I'm sure you already know what great work they do in saving the sacred ground of our country. Well they also did your buddies at Addressing Gettysburg a great favor by allowing us the use of General Lee's Headquarters on Seminary Ridge. The ABT preserves battlefields and educates the public about America's formative conflicts and why they matter today.

You can visit them at battlefields.org for videos, maps and thousands of articles.

Besides the Lee's Headquarters site (which they preserved and restored) they have preserved more than 800 additional acres in and around Gettysburg.

They are currently trying to preserve land along the Baltimore Pike on Cemetery Hill and at the base of Big Round Top. Find more Information and donate to the cause at www.battlefields.org.

And I'd like to personally thank Tim Smith for getting us in touch with Garry Adelman and also Garry Adelman for setting this up with a day's notice. SOMEDAY we will get Garry in the show. He is highly requested by our listeners.

If you're a patron of ours, you've heard our guest on the show before alongside Patrick Gorman. You, of course, know him as Major Walter Taylor, who apparently had a love of flapjacks in small mountains, in the movie Gettysburg. But he is also a writer, director and producer known for the 2016 film The Last Man Club, starring the late Morgan Sheppard who you know as General Isaac Trimble,he was in Swing State and produced and directed the upcoming film The Bay House among many others. Welcome, the great Bo Brinkman.
