I recall being taught in high school concerning the shoes. It took a couple of decades to unlearn the shoe theory.

You gotta love that cliff hanger😂

The federal and confederate officers were trained in napoleonic tactics-the theory was that both ends fought and the reserves -so to speak - from the center was sent to refortify the ends leaving the middle of the line less populated with soldiers.

I have several interviews of Ron Prellaman the person who was in charge of horses and CSA troops for battle scenes if you want his contact info let me know as he had to deal with many actors to set them up with their horses.

Awesome Podcast! I really enjoyed this!

I wish Spielberg would make a Pickett’s Charge movie with the authenticity of Saving Private Ryan’s opening scene. THAT would be intense!

Great podcast, keep up the good work !

Robert Duvall was a superior Lee in my opinion...

The movie Gettysburg is a work of historical fiction that unfortunately frames most Americans' understanding of the battle and the Civil War. Much of the dialogue is apocryphal, it never happened. While the movie is entertaining and could be the reason some people become Civil War enthusiasts, it is a fairly poor piece of history.

I’m glad you discussed the scene where Longstreet tells Lee that Meade is now in charge. As a real student of the battle, I’m always dismayed that historians gloss over this important point in history. They never discuss it. It kind of goes with the fact that they hardly ever discuss Meade anyway. Some historians talk about the battle and Lee’s decisions and it seems like Meade wasn’t even there. Which strangely enough Meade actually predicted later in life. Lee really wanted to fight Mr “FJ Hooker.” I have to believe when he found out it was Meade It was bad news to him. I wish you guys would expand on that. I’ve never heard one historian ever going to detail about this. I’ve studied this battle so extensively. I personally think it made a huge difference in the way the battle was fought not to mention the outcome. If you were playing an NFL football game at 1pm on Sunday and found out at noon that it was a different quarterback it would definitely change your strategy. Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this.

Thanks, gentlemen!

Always keep in mind that "Gettysburg" is a MOVIE, not a history lecture. It has to appeal to millions of non-historians in the compression of a couple of hours. The move "Patton" has gargantuan historical inaccuracies but the producers and directors successfully convey the essence of who the man was and what he did, which is the whole point. If you want an academic presentation, there are lecture rooms at West Point.

I imagine he was thinking "Oh boy, I'm gonna be the hero." Later he was thinking "ow my leg"

I just posted an interview of Ron P on my channel he was the wrangler

I remember seeing The Empire Strikes Back at the Cross Creek Mall when I was in ninth grade at E. E. Smith High School in Fayetteville, N.C.

Stay at the Menger!

The John Wayne movie was far superior to the 2004 film because it gets the viewer in the heart. There is a deep emotional connection to the Alamo and the defenders. Laurence Harvey was epic as Travis. The film may not necessarily be history, but it inspires.

Sheen was horrible as Lee, he ruined every scene he was in, otherwise a great movie

I did not know that only about a 3rd of the soldiers were interred at the time, thats interesting fact. Being from Harrisburg I also remember the HBG newspaper was very biased against Lincoln and the paper did not print his address. They said it was unworthy, and a crappy little piece. It took them 150 yrs to acknowledge they were wroooong. (drawn out word as Tim would do)

Loved this! Thank you from Australia.

Awe, come on, guys, you want classic wrestling. Let's hear about BoBo Brazil, Louis Martinez, Dominic DeNucci, and/or the Von Erichs! That is classic wrestling. 😂😅😊. I love your podcast it's wonderful.

Joe ryans civil war , have you met him ?

The decisive battle? Easy, the battle that made Lee sit down with Grant.

Fantastic presentation

I'm no historian but I've earned a B.F.D looking at pictures in coffee table books.

This was outstanding, thanks for showing it. Very moving to hear these stories.

Outstanding

Thank you to 763 Leadership and Battle of Gettysburg for sharing!

I thoroughly appreciate your time and effort. Adding the pictures to the program was great. Looking forward to your next adventure...

I knew "The Pledge of Allegiance", "Preamble of the Declaration of Independence", "Preamble of the Constitution", and "The Gettysburg Address". All Americans should know them.

Not a qualified historian, or even buff, by any means, but to me a decisive moment in the Civil War and American history was when General Grant turned toward Lee's army after making it through the Wilderness.

Saw the movie when came out even though i had moved away from the Civil War - more interested in French & Indian War at the time. The movie is entertaining if you can ignore the Lost Cause stuff, bad beard, crappy uniforms and silly situations like the Chamberlain - Hancock meeting.

The fact that the movie never mentions the "Custer vs Stuart" cavalry fight really annoys me - especially seeing as how the last we see of Stuart in the film is him taking a proverbial gut punch by Lee chewing him out.

The Gettysburg Movie captured the essence of the battle with some poetic license. It only lacked the genius of Dan Sickles ' maneuvering . Where would Chamberlain rate without Sickles leaving Roundtop and wearing out the Longstreet assault which would cave in to the bayonets charge that won the battle and the War
