In this episode I discuss briefly the history of preservation at Gettysburg. We also have a long conversation about the importance of purpose, place, memory, and unfinishedness on the battlefield.

Thank you all for listening, your support means the world!

This is the story of the Confederate ironclad CSS Albemarle, and it's ultimate demise.

I was going to include a patreon link but apparently that's kinda fallen through somehow. So I'll work on that, in the meantime, enjoy my other content!

What's in the works? Listen to find out. Whats up with the Coronavirus? I don't know but I talk about it nonetheless. Here's a fun little episode for updates and conversations. 

George Washington attacked a French Diplomatic group in 1754 which sparked the 7 Years War. In this episode we talk about that battle and the effect it would have on the young Washington as it led to his first major military blunder at Fort Necessity.

In 1933 there was a complicated plot run by businessmen to stage a coup d'etat in America to replace FDR with a fascist military dictatorship. They would ask Major General Smedley Butler to lead their revolution. It's one of America's biggest what if's. Tune in to find out who was involved, why, and what happened.
