Join us on a captivating journey back to an era that defined the course of American history - the Battle of Gettysburg. Picture a sleepy Pennsylvania town, now echoing with the march of armies and the thunder of cannons.

In todays Liberty Minute 🗽,  we'll share with you from Allen Guelzo's wonderful book, Gettysburg:  The Last Invasion

This series is a tribute to our dear friend and listener, Ed Gallagher, whose love for history inspired us to delve deep into the heart of the battle at Gettysburg's rich past.

Key Points from the Episode:

  • As the drums of war intensified, two formidable armies - Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia and George Meade's Army of the Potomac - were making their way towards the inevitable. 
  • We'll unravel the suspense leading up to the fateful collision at Gettysburg, the untimely death of General John Reynolds, and the impromptu allocation by Otis Howard to save the Day 1 for the Union Army atop Cemetery Hill. 
  • Experience the thrill and the fear as we narrate the unfolding of the most violent collision the North American continent had ever witnessed. So, brace yourself to revisit a time of courage, sacrifice and a turning point in America's fight for liberty.
