Explore the history and legacy of one of the most renowned military units of the American Civil War—The Irish Brigade. This episode examines the experiences of the Irish immigrants who fought for the Union, their motivations, challenges, and the key battles that defined their service. We even take a look at the claim—popularized by Gods and Generals—that the brigade made Cobb’s Legion cry at Fredericksburg. From Antietam to Gettysburg, we analyze the leadership of figures like General Thomas Francis Meagher and discuss the broader impact of the brigade on both the war and Irish-American identity. Featuring expert insights from LBGs Chris Army and John Fitzpatrick, historical accounts, and engaging storytelling, Ask A Gettysburg Guide: The Irish Brigade offers a deeper understanding of these soldiers’ contributions and the complex world they lived in. Whether you're a Civil War enthusiast or simply interested in Irish-American history, join us as we uncover the real stories behind the legend.

Well, these questions and more are answered by our pal Ken in this fascinating look into one aspect of the birth of the United States of America.

In this frigid Winter, it is fitting that our pal and fellow-Patron Ken Gavin comes back to talk about the Winter at Valley Forge during the American Revolution. Originally intended to be a one-parter, I found it difficult to hasten the process as I love learning about this period from Ken. He's a font of knowledge. So, we decided to make it a two-parter, the second party will be out next week.

Ken Rich had an idea for a show about the infrastructure of Gettysburg that enabled the armies to converge and fight the three-day Battle of Gettysburg. Roads, waterways, hills, dales--and Roys (get it?)--, ridges, all sorts of things fall into this category. To me, it says that Gettysburg is a place that Mother Nature built for WAR!

We all know that during the Gettysburg Campaign in 1863, JEB Stuart was "ridin' 'round up North gettin' his name in the papers." Undoubtedly, he ain't caused nothing but a little fuss.
But what about his foray into the Keystone State in 1862? Well, Tracy Baer joins us to fill us in on that lesser-known raid.

Season 13 begins with LBG Deb Novotny joining us to talk about Civil War battle flags, particularly those that led regiments across the fields here at Gettysburg. Such stories involve the 26th North Carolina's boy-colonel Henry K. Burgwyn, the 16th Maine tearing their flag to shreds in order to save it from capture and more!

As promised, we're back to releasing Patreon episodes. Thanks for giving me that two month reprieve from uploading in order to catch up.
So... Carrie Janney was in town back in November for the Fortenbaugh Lecture at Gettysburg College. The next day, she was in the studio to sit and talk about the fascinating Rebel-turned-American-again, John S Mosby. Mosby was a headache for Yankee troops operating in NOVA , but he was much more than just a guerrilla leader. After the war, Mosby became a reformed Rebel and a big target for the Lost Causers of his day. Carrie and I dig into who the man was and the many things he did in anticipation of her upcoming book.

LBG Deb Novotny joins us for the first time to talk about Evergreen Cemetery, the private cemetery adjacent to Gettysburg National Cemetery. "Cemetery Hill" gets its name from Evergreen. It's home to many famous names from the Battle of Gettysburg, the civilian population during the battle and even a Pittsburgh Steeler and movie actor. If you ever get the chance when you visit Gettysburg, you must make time to stroll through Evergreen Cemetery. You won't be disappointed.

This week's classic AG episode is from the bleak restriction-laden year of 2020. Bob Steenstra, Tim Smith, Roy Frampton and Matt braved the chilly air and sat atop East Cemetery Hill near that tree in front of Rickett's Battery and behind the Howard statue to record an show about Gettysburg National Cemetery. Perhaps the piece of information that blew listeners' minds at the time was the melody that the poem "The Bivouac of the Dead" fits percfectly with.
ORIGNAL SHOW NOTES:
LBG Roy Frampton joins Matt, Bob and Tim from near the Howard Statue on East Cemetery Hill. While this Ask A Gettysburg Guide is about the National Cemetery, we didn't think four people on lawn chairs talking into microphones would look appropriate in the cemetery itself. So, we went across the street.
In this episode, we cover topics such as:
-USCT graves
-the cemetery during the battle and the monuments within it
-A confederate mass grave in the Annex?
-Revelry in the town the night before the Dedication
-Confederate soldiers buried among the Union dead
-boxes containing the personal effects taken from the "Unknown" soldiers
-The Bivouac of the Dead matching up with the melody of Gilligan's Island
-methods used to identify the dead
-families recovering their buried soldiers and which unit has the most soldiers buried in its section.

ORIGINAL AIRDATE December 23, 2019
This is the continuation of Ask A Gettysburg Guide #3 with Tim Smith. Apparently, back then it didn't occur to me to make a long episode and instead I split it in two. Or maybe there was another reason that I've forgotten. Either way, enjoy.
There original shownotes:
Merry Christmas! It's time for the final Ask A Gettysburg Guide of 2019. Bob Steenstra and Tim Smith continue with the questions that we couldn't fit into the previous Ask A Gettysburg Guide. Instagrammers who answered the call for questions in this episode are: @Soldier_Up_ @SJcolmus @Mrsmaestas2 @civil_war_Nerd @Cwhitt @Tylerfashistory

As we take a backward glance at our extensive (dad)body of work for the sake of our new listeners who might not go all the way back to the beginning and work their way forward, we chose this episode to be our first. Back in the old days, when Ask A Gettysburg Guide began, we hadn't, yet, fleshed-out the format of the show. Back then, it was a shotgun-approach: listeners sent in questions and I asked the guides for the answers. LBG Bob Steenstra was my cohost and would be until The Rona hit. Tim Smith was a frequent guest and was the first guide to come on the show as a guest. This is Episode 3, one of a two parter. This show "aired" on December 23, 2019. Here are the original shownotes:
It's time for another Ask A Gettysburg Guide! This time we received so many questions that we had to make this into two episodes. That means next week there will be another just in time for Christmas!
In this episode we take questions from Instagrammers: The Great Tronetti @HistorywithBrad @GrantHarvey15 @NCHistoryNerd @CWhitt @Veronica Brestensky @Civil_War_Footsteps @Soldier_up_ @SJcolums @Mrsmeastas2

During the holiday season we are giving all non-Patrons a gift, from AG and our Patrons to you, the non-Patrons. It is the gift of knowledge that Patrons are gaining in such quantities that their tummies hurt.
Here is another episode that they highly recommended for you. In this episode, the first installment of many, historian Richard Condon joins Matt to begin the daunting task of learning about Reconstruction, which, you may know, probably has more to do with our understanding of the Civil War than the war itself, at least what's known officially as The Reconstruction Era which begins in 1865. But, it began in 1861 and Rich explains how.
