Addressing Gettysburg

PATREON PREVIEW- High Water Mark Heroes Myth and Memory.


Listen Later

  While with the Park Service, Scott Hartwig wrote an essay entitled "High Water Mark Heroes, Myth and Memory." It covers the piece of ground that includes landmarks such as "The Angle" and "The Copse of Trees" and answers some questions about just where Pickett's and Pettigrew's divisions were heading on July 3, 1863. Was their objective the Copse of Trees or Zeigler's Grove? What about Cemetery Hill?  Scott joins us to dispell the myths that have popped up over the years since the battle of Gettysburg.  There's a lot more detail in the article and we recommend you read it before you listen. http://npshistory.com/series/symposia/gettysburg_seminars/12/essay2.pdf
