Valley Forge- Part I- With Ken Gavin
Addressing Gettysburg
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.

Gettysburg: A Place Built For WAR! with Ken Rich
Addressing Gettysburg
Dropping on Patreon on 2/15/25 at 8:00 pm EST 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! I'm learning. You're learning. Let's learn together. We'll do all the heavy-lifting by finding and booking compelling guests, recording shows, producing videos and whatever else we have to do in order to produce...

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. I'm learning. You're learning. Let's learn together.

John S. Mosby with Caroline Janney
Addressing Gettysburg
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...
