The History Things Podcast

You read that episode title correctly, not only are Pat and Matt taking on the Battle of Gettysburg in honor of its 160th commemoration, but they have brought on Scott Hartwig to be their guide!
In the unlikely event that you don't know that name, Scott Hartwig was the long time Chief Historian of Gettysburg National Military Park and a frequent contributor to such programs as Civil War Journal. Scott is featured in the Antietam National Battlefield NPS movie and has written two massive volumes on the Maryland Campaign.
The guys however got him to return to his old stomping ground and give a great discussion on the Gettysburg Campaign, how it came about and of course the three bloody days themselves. Join us as we discuss the largest battle ever fought in the Western Hemisphere, the Battle of Gettysburg, on its 160th Commemoration!
