How am I supposed to choose between Gettysburg and Antietam for this weekend? 🙈

If you have a minute, kindly look at my reply to your reply under ‘no notice again.’

I’m guessing you know know this, but I’ll mention that David A. Powell is a commercial civil war game designer of note as well as the author of “Failure in the Saddle”, the series on Atlanta, etc.

No notice again ….

History is nuanced, people are complicated. It was a civil war or southern revolution, and people fought their corner, for the good, the bad, and the ugly. Yep. Read it all.

Battlefield looks way it did August 1864.

Why yall didn't mentioned battle of utoy creek in talks about atlanta campaign.

Great episode as usual. You two are so good at this

Covids still around and I'm glad you guys are too. Thanks for all the presentations in the past crazy 4 years

Liberation of Atlanta?

Love Civil War history binge watching glad I found your channel.

Morning 😊

"full banana" - is that a military term for a strong attack? 🤪

How ‘bout an episode on Grierson’s very successful raid (April 17 - May 2 1863)? Morgan’s raid was June 11 - July 26, 1863. Sherman’s Meridian Campaign was Feb 3 - March 6, 1864. Sherman learned from Grierson (a music teacher before the war).

Hey! Welcome to episode 134! Amtrak is fancy, just ask Union Station in KC. Thank you all (y'all) for the episode. Edit: Sorry, not all together because of college assignments. Edit 2: When I take my Civil War course for my History degree with a focus in military history, I will make sure to mention you so that my class will listen to you guys. P.S. Can you look at the Battle of Lexington 1861 (the Battle of Hemp Bales), the Battle of Westport 1864 (Gettysburg of the West), or the Battle of Mine Creek 1864? There is also the skirmish or Battle of Island Mound where the 1st KS Colored Infantry Regiment/Volunteer Infantry Regiment had its first fight in 1862. P.P.S. I have so far found seven people whose first names are Ambrose. Ambrose G. Bierce (a Union veteran who fought at Chickamauga and horror author), Ambrose Remley (a Union veteran who fought at Chickamauga and whose water canteen is at Chickamauga museum/visitor center), Ambrose E. Burnside (a Union general who fought at Antietam and who burnsides were named after and who designed the Burnside Carbine), Ambrose S. Stevens (a Union colonel and commander of 21st Michigan who was injured at the Battle of Perryville). Ambrose W. Davidson (a Union veteran of the 137th New York who said he was over 18 at recruiter by standing on a piece of paper with "18" written on it in his shoe, but who was 14 years old who died at a hospital due to illness), Ambrose P. Hill (a confederate veteran who fought at Antietam and was general), and Ambrose R. Wright (a confederate veteran who fight at Gettysburg and infected with venereal disease).

Why not an episode on Grierson’s very successful raid? It was April 17- May 2, 1863. Morgan’s Raid was June 11 - July 26, 1863. Meridian wasn’t until Feb. 3 - March 6, 1864. Sherman learned from Grierson.

I just learned that OOHoward is part of my mother’s lineage. Thank you for this deep dive. Maine… I am forever grateful for my family being on the right side of history.

Great presentation as Stones River always captures my attention. Can't wait for Dan Masters book to be released this Fall. One thought, though. I can't help but wonder what effect a Union defeat at Stones River would have had on the Emancipation Proclamation, given that the Union also recently suffered terrible losses at Fredericksburg and Chickasaw Bayou. I believe it may have been viewed as Secretary Seward said months earlier as "the last measure of an exhausted government".

Hey! How did I miss this? Maybe develop a mailing list?

I’m going back over “old” episodes (I subscribed rather recently) and just came to this. Darn! If only I had known you two were visiting Harrisburg near where I live. Would loved to have joined you! Next time?

Great episode guys!

I've never heard the term "Spice Girls" ever used in a description of Civil War actions. 😆

Johnston had a history of operational retreats. Cf the Penninsula Campaign where he basically retreated to Richmond! Granted … he saved lives … .

Mare having a Mare 😂❤ Welcome home 🏡

Hi. Out of curiosity, do you have any Morgan books to recommend? (I seem to like Stephen W. Sears’ style in the long shot that is sny help.)

Perhaps let us know in advance the next time you visit Gettysburg?

Other than myself, the gentleman (and perhaps the lady) is the first person I have ever heard who has said give me cold over hest every time. I’d move to Canada if I could. It is now (and has been for weeks) too hot here in South Central PA to go out for a walk until sundown.

Is there a way to send alerts to us, so when I am busy I can view you 2 live? Asking for a friend

Great to hear that someone in charge actually stepped in to preserve something so important. Don't local planning authorities in the US have to do cultural impact studies of planning approvals?

This is so cool! What a great opportunity for you two!

Excellent conversation on a too often overlooked battle (in my backyard :) Keep up the good work (and beer recommendations)

Very interesting history. Lousy communications at that time but talented soldiers. Just not perfect.

The Doran Park shirt is clearly adding pure excellence to the video.

Weak

John mosby is my favorite to read and learn about. Thank you guys for this great talk. I wish more people were interested in learning about the history of this great nation.

This was a great presentation. Dr. Guelzo is such a wealth of knowledge but what impressed me most was y’all’s knowledge, too. This wasn’t as much an interview but more being treated to eavesdropping on a high level conversation between genius-level Civil War historians

My only experience with Lablatts blue was a river trip north of Toronto and we had a sack full of Lablatts that was hot. We tried to cool it in the river, but basically drank it hot all week.

Mary.need read book charge with treason. Deals what union army at roswell ga.

Mary you being western theater person need read book -charge with treason . Story about these people of roswell Ga.

Finished VOICES FROM GETTYSBURG last night. Just a terrific read!!

Have you to done shows about colonels or Captains or LT or even Sargents Generals are fun to talk about but i am very interested in the lower ranks.

Wow this was great. I never knew Lew Wallace was so instrumental in so many things. You guys really are the best Civil War podcast on the planet

Great commentary. I just wish the language was not as foul.

APPRECIATE YOU JIM HESSLER!! Understand completely your 'Sickles Logic'.

Excellent presentation about an often overlooked great American 👍

Excited for this one. I live just a few blocks from his study/museum.

Enjoyed this. Perhaps one of the considerations Meade had had at the end was, "Do I really want to destroy my army, get all my soldiers killed because the back-seat drivers cannot understand the on the ground reality?

Thank you for this review!

Great Episode! Go Canada! For the Montreal perspective, I recommend 'Montreal, City of Secrets: Confederate Operations in Montreal During the American Civil War' by Barry Sheehy
