Addressing Gettysburg

LBG Jessie Wheedleton came to us and said she'd like to do a show about how to prepare for the Licensed Battlefield Guide exam. We thought it was a great idea and booked her. The are many ways to learn about the Battle of Gettysburg. Podcast listening is a fantastic way to do it when you can't be here. So if reading and watching ranger programs online. Of course the best way to learn is to visit and walk the grounds and, when you visit, you MUST, in our opinion, hire a licensed battlefield guide to take you around. Just listen to what it takes to even become licensed. Sounds like it's easier to get into the CIA! 

To take a tour with any of the guides you hear on Addressing Gettysburg, contact [email protected] and he will put you in touch with your requested guide.

Whether you recognize it from your pre-movie-era childhood visits to Gettysburg National Military Park or from the unforgettable scenes in Ron Maxwell's Gettysburg featuring the great Sam Elliott, the Cupola of the Litheran Theological Seminary is an iconic structure to those who study The Battle of Gettysburg. Podcast guest, historian Codie Eash, returns for the first Ask a Gettysburg Guide of Season 2. This was an extremely fun episode to record because we were able to do it from The Cupola, itself, after hours with Cody. We can't stress this enough: if you have been to Gettysburg a million times or are planning to visit some day, and a few hours at the Seminary Ridge Museum, including the Cupola Tour, is not on your itinerary, you've done yourself a disservice.

Codie answers, in fine detail, questions about the use of the Old Dorm building as a hospital during and after The Battle of Gettysburg, the Seminary as a station on the Underground Railroad, who actually used the Cupola to observe the enemy during the Batle of Gettysburg, battle damage to the building, the conditions wounded soldiers had to endure while waiting for care while the battle still raged and much more.

Codie is Operations Manager at the Seminary Ridge Museum.
