Show Notes

What happened at the Battle of Gettysburg? In this special live episode of Addressing Gettysburg, Kevin Bryant, Codie Eash, Britt Isenberg, and Lewis Trott join Matt and an audience of 100 people for an engaging overview of the Battle of Gettysburg, one of the most important battles of the American Civil War. Recorded at the Totem Pole Playhouse, this program was created to introduce Playhouse members to the rich history of the Gettysburg area while also introducing the Addressing Gettysburg audience to the incredible work and offerings of the Totem Pole Playhouse. This episode covers the major movements and key moments of the Battle of Gettysburg across all three days: July 1, July 2, and July 3, 1863. The discussion focuses especially on the fighting around the Lutheran Seminary on Seminary Ridge, now home to the Seminary Ridge Museum and Education Center. From the opening shots west of town to the climactic fighting on the final day, this program is designed to give newcomers a clear and accessible understanding of the battle. After intermission, Codie Eash leads the audience through a powerful visual exercise demonstrating the devastating casualties suffered by the 1st Minnesota Infantry during the Battle of Gettysburg. Then, in true Addressing Gettysburg fashion, we open the floor to audience questions about Gettysburg, Civil War history, battlefield interpretation, and more. If you are new to the Battle of Gettysburg, new to Civil War history, or looking for a clear overview of what happened at Gettysburg, this is the episode for you.
