Join us for this episode of Addressing Gettysburg, "14th Connecticut Repels Pickett's Charge" featuring Licensed Battlefield Guide Chris Army. 🎙️ In the pivotal moments of Pickett's Charge on July 3, 1863, the 14th Connecticut Infantry Regiment played a vital role in defending Cemetery Ridge against the Confederate forces. ⚔️ Commanded by Major Theodore G. Ellis, they fiercely engaged troops from the 13th Alabama, 14th Tennessee, and 26th North Carolina Infantry Regiments. Their bravery resulted in the capture of the colors of both the 1st and 14th Tennessee Infantry, and they faced losses of around 60 men killed or wounded. 🙏  As always, your support helps us create more great content!  🎉 Remember, Super Chats of $10 or more help feed the crew and are READ ON THE AIR.

🔍 This week on "Ask A Gettysburg Guide," we dive-deep into a fascinating question: Did Major General Daniel Sickles' controversial move to the Emmitsburg Road line at Gettysburg stem from his experience at Chancellorsville? Join us for an enlightening conversation with Licensed Battlefield Guide Jim Hessler as we unpack this common belief! 🎙️ Many historians suggest that Sickles's decision to advance and capture the Peach Orchard was influenced by his hard lesson learned at Hazel Grove during the Battle of Chancellorsville. After holding this key artillery position, he was ordered to withdraw and then swiftly attacked by Confederate forces. The prevailing thought is that Sickles aimed to prevent the Confederates from gaining what he deemed another advantageous position. However, interestingly, there are no written accounts from Sickles himself or his staff supporting this theory!   🤔 So, where did this idea originate? Tune in to find out!   📚 If you’re passionate about Civil War history and want to support our mission at Addressing Gettysburg—"of the People, by the People, for the People"—consider joining our Officers' Club on Patreon at www.patreon.com/addressinggettysburg OR by making a tax-deductible donation at www.dhpioneers.com.

**"Ask A Gettysburg Guide 108: THE LOUISIANA TIGERS with LBG Mike Rupert"**  🔥 Join us in this LIVE episode of "Ask A Gettysburg Guide" as we dive into the legendary Louisiana Tigers, a unit that made a significant impact during the Civil War! 🎖️ In 1863, during the Gettysburg Campaign, Hays's Brigade distinguished itself with a pivotal win at the Second Battle of Winchester, where they captured a crucial fort and forced Union General Robert H. Milroy's troops to retreat. As they advanced into southern Pennsylvania, many locals expressed fears of the notorious reputation of these spirited Louisianans, often associated with rowdy behavior. 🌍 At the iconic Battle of Gettysburg, Hays's Brigade took bold action on the second day by charging East Cemetery Hill and managing to capture several Union artillery pieces. However, they had to withdraw when they did not receive the necessary support from fellow Confederate units. 📜 If you're passionate about uncovering the rich tapestry of our history in all its complexity, we invite you to support Addressing Gettysburg's grassroots effort.

Watch this interview here https://youtu.be/CfZAHMQFdnc   Brought to you by the Gettysburg Museum of History Foundation, we happily present to you an episode from a series of shows that we usually keep for our Patreon subscribers only. It's called "COMBAT STORIES". Typically, I interview someone affiliated with the show (Eric "The Producer" or Colby Sumner) or a listener who has experienced combat and leave those episodes on Patreon. I do this because I want to de-romanticize war, as I think too many of us fall prey to the "hurrah-ness" of war movies. That is, we DID, up until Saving Private Ryan came out. Due to the good-nature of Gettysburg Museum of History owner Erik Dorr, I was able to sit down and interview a man who not only experienced combat, but a man who has made sure that film audiences experience it too. He is Captain Dale Dye, Vietnam Vet, founder of Warriors Inc, writer, filmmaker, actor and all-around great guy to talk to. This interview has information that he rarely speaks about in the myriad interviews available online and, for that, I am grateful, and I hope you are too. So sit back and have a chat with the legendary Captain Dale Dye. Support the Gettysburg Museum of History Foundation- www.gettysburgmuseumofhistory.com Help Addressing Gettysburg grow- www.patreon.com/addressinggettysburg for our premium content and more or www.dhpioneers.com to help us fund our videos projects.   **This episode begins with our discussions off-mic. The interview itself morphed from our traditional warm-up banter into the interview itself once I realized that our conversation flowed so effortlessly that to stop it in order to officialy begin the show would have killed the momentum. Once I realized we were in it, you will hear my voice come in clearly. - Matt

LBG Larry Korczyk joins us for our first LIVE Ask A Gettysburg Guide to talk about the famed Iron Brigade in the Battle of Gettysburg. The Iron Brigade sustained 1153 (61%) casualties out of the 1885 men they brought into the fight.  Please subscribe to our YouTube channel because Ask A Guides and now livestreams every other Tuesday at 7pm EST. Don't worry, I'll still upload the audio to this feed. Anyway, we want you to interact with our guides, so here's how it works: Super Chats of $10 (US) or more will be read on the air. You can call in with your battle analysis (keep it to the topic at hand), question or whatever at 717-420-1978. You can leave a voicemail there too.

Welcome to another episode of "Ask A Gettysburg Guide"! In this installment (#105), we delve into the contributions of Orland Smith's Brigade from the Eleventh Corps during the pivotal Battle of Gettysburg. Join LBG Stu Dempsey as he guides us through the historic grounds that hold so many untold stories. Stu shines a light on the often-overlooked action on historic ground that has since been erased by the Colt Park housing development. This area, now referred to as "Smith's Ridge," was the site where President Richard Nixon's grandfather was mortally wounded, courageously defending our nation against the treasonous Confederacy. Though considered an area where only skirmishing took place, the skirmishing was heavier than normal and the casualty rates show it.  Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe to our channel for more captivating insights into Gettysburg's rich history!  Your support matters—help us continue our grassroots efforts to bring the history we all love to the masses.
