It's December and that means it's time to share with you full Patreon episodes from 2024. This time, our Patrons weighed-in on what they thought were the 5 best episodes of the year. So, we listened to them and are gifting them to you because even "free" listens help Addressing Gettysburg.
In this episode, we hear from John Michael Priest, author of "Stand To It and Give Them Hell." Due to a commiunciation error on my part, I wasn't able to prepare like I typically do for a book-based interview, but, when has that stopped me before? John and I decided to wing it and, somehow, it ended up as a Patron favorite. We hope you enjoy.
And if you do enjoy it, please consider becoming a Patron in 2025, or maybe gifting a membership to the Gettysnerd in your family. We have big plans to expand what Addressing Gettysburg does in 2025 and, since we're listener-supported, we need YOUR help! So, if you can, go to www.patreon.com/addressinggettysburg

LBG Chris Army is joined by hater-turned-Patron Dwayne. Som eknow him as "McNair." Dwayne has done extensive research on Scales' Brigade and asked if he could sit in on an Ask A Guide. We love to include our Patrons in whatever they can contribute to, so, of course, I said yes.
Scales Brigade (from its Brigade Plaque):
C. S. A.
Army of Northern Virginia
Hills Corps Pender’s Division
Scales’s Brigade13th 16th 22nd 34th 38th North Carolina Infantry
July 1. Crossed Willoughby Run about 3.30 P. M. relieving Heth’s line and advancing with left flank on Chambersburg Pike took part in the struggle until it ended. When the Union forces made their final stand on Seminary Ridge the Brigade charged and aided in dislodging them but suffered heavy losses. Gen. A. M. Scales was wounded and all the field officers but one were killed or wounded.
July 2. In position near here with skirmishers out in front and on flank.
July 3. In Longstreet’s assault the Brigade supported the right wing of Pettigrew’s Division. With few officers to lead them the men advanced in good order through a storm of shot and shell and when the front line neared the Union works they pushed forward to aid it in the final struggle and were among the last to retire.
July 4. After night withdrew and began the march to Hagerstown.
Present about 1250 Killed 102 Wounded 381 Missing 116 Total 599

Historian and Patron Kenneth Gavin joins us to talk about Gettysburg during the American Revolution. That's right, it existed before July 1, 1863. This is Part 1 of a 2-part series exploring the make-up of the town, how it contributed to the war effort, the economy and more. I really enjoyed learning about Gettysburg in a different era of American history and I think you will too. Ken is an engaging guest and we will have him on often.

LBG Paul Bailey joins us for the first time on an Ask A Guide to talk about the Army of the Potomac's Major General John Newton. A Virginian who remained loyal to his oath to the United States of America, Newton participated in the construction of the Washington defenses, led a brigade in the Peninsula Campaign and worked his way up to the rank of major general and controversially commanding the 1st Corps here at Gettysburg. There's so much more to this man and Paul tells us in an engaging way.

Author Ron Kirkwood comes in to talk about the sequel to his book "Too Much For Human Endurance" entitled "Tell Mother Not To Worry". In this interview, we fly by the seat of our pants because I messed up not realizing I had received a digital copy of the book while waiting for a hard copy. Silly Matt. But Ron is easy to talk to and it came out pretty good, much to our surprise.

Historian Carolyn Ivanoff sits down with Bethany and Veronica to talk about the one and only Clara Barton. Clarissa Barton was an American nurse who founded the American Red Cross. She was a hospital nurse in the American Civil War, a teacher, and a patent clerk. Since nursing education was not then very formalized and she did not attend nursing school, she provided self-taught nursing care.

If you are studying for the guide exam or just want to know the battle inside and out, then I have something to help you. This is actually a recording I've been dreading editing (lots of tongue-ties and stumbles to cut out) since 2019 when I recorded it. It can be found in Coddington's book. I hope it helps. These will help you too https://www.lulu.com/search?contributor=Stephen+Lunsford&page=1&pageSize=10&adult_audience_rating=00

Our friend David Martin is back and, this time, talking about my home state of New Jersey at Gettysburg. Basically, we sat around and ate gabagool while hurling insults at people who were busy fighting the battle.
That's a joke. I just wanted to say "gabagool." New Jersey was just quite active here and involved in many of the major actions of the battle.
David also has a guide book "New Jersey at Gettysburg" available here

LBGs Ralph Siegel and Jessie Wheedleton care. They care about ye who want to become guides here at Gettysburg. Therefore, they're on the show to clue you in to the realities of guiding. Are you going to be that "Rock Star Guide" you fantasized about night after night? Or are you most likely going to give tours to sweaty, bored families, dreaming about their reservation at the Chinese Buffet? Actually, the buffet is good, so I wouldn't blame them. But, the latter is the answer. But they answer many other questions besides that one. So, sit back, open your mind and hit play. If you're driving, sit up straight, 10 and 2, and press play.

THIS EPISODE DROPS LIVE ON PATREON at 7:30 AM EST TODAY! Join and listen with fellow Gettysnerds
You know how we like to do a series of shows on one topic. Right? Right. Well, this episode is the first on the subject of Reconstruction. I know, I know. You're saying "Reconstruction? How boring." Or maybe, "Reconstruction? Whatever, dude." And some of you are probably saying things I haven't anticipated and probably don't want to hear anyway.
Rich Condon joins us to talk about Reconstruction during the war. That's right. It started during the war, not after. See? Interesting already. Seriously, to understand our country today, we must include the Reconstruction Era and not just the war. A lot of the nonsense we were raised to believe about the war came about in this period. thus, we embark on our journey into how to rebuild a country that you just destroyed. Enjoy!
The Guide Exam is coming and you're nervous. We can feel it. That's why we've been working for 5 years on our Patreon channel to build a library of episodes for you to devour about so many aspects and angles of the Battle of Gettysburg, its actions, participants and the Civil War Era as a whole. There are literally hundreds of episodes waiting for you there. These episodes feature guests from all walks in the history field. Even actors from the movie (you don't think you'll be asked about the movie on a tour?). We even go so far as to interview modern-day combat vets about their experiences so that you might understand what the Civil War soldiers might have gone through. You're really missing out if you're not a 1st or 2nd Lieutenant on Patreon. You can even try a FREE 7-day trial so that you can see why 9 out o 11 chiropractors agree that being a Patron of Addressing Gettysburg is the best way to truly understand the Battle of Gettysburg. See you there!
