@@addressinggettysburg I am aware of that. But I have the impression that Lee could have been counting on them to add weight and experience too the attack.
Great job by Jim, Matt and Mike. Looking forward to the next parts for July 2 and 3. I believe the cavalry that was east of Francis CHANNNING Barlow was under the command of Devin. Gamble was busy on the other side of the battlefield at the edge of Seminary Ridge. I also thought I have heard Devin’s men had to with drawl because of friendly fire from AOP artillery from Cemetery Hill.
There's another one of those mystery W's or M's near Berdan Ave. We'll see it in August at the hopefully dry Get out of the Car Tour in Pitzer's Woods. And back on topic....Jim does a great job as usual, I love when you have him on. He's very knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. And Mike Lentz is as knowledgeable as they come.
@@addressinggettysburg If I remember correctly, it's near the 1st US Sharpshooters monument. It's been awhile since I first saw it, and of course it stood out because I had no idea what it was. But it's there. I have some pictures of it also.
And for any and all who reads these comments...CORRECTION...the small marker near the 1st US Sharpshooters on Berdan does not have a W on it, rather is has US. Still not sure what it is for.
54:40 - this is a very significant conversation. (Insert disclaimer about my lifelong misunderstandings of military history due to the strategic level focus of the “history books” I had available.) A division does not necessarily equal a division, a corps does not necessarily equal a corps, and so forth. Thirty years ago, I couldn’t understand how the Army of Northern Virginia, with just 3 corps, had any chance of standing up to the Army of the Potomac with 7.
I always thought Ewell had a crazy combo beard using the Burnside lambchops and Hancock's moustache & chin beard. It wasn't until a couple years ago I realized his collar was just hiding part of his beard. I was a little disappointed yet still relieved that he had better taste than I'd always thought... 😉
I agree . This would;ve been so much better if accompanied by a map or maps . I don't know modern rt. 70 etc. . However , I do know the Battle of Culp's Hill .
No because the populace didn’t have the head, heart or stomach to win during Vietnam. Plus, theoretically, the South had the heart for war and still lost with those regiments. Also, I didn’t listen to the point in the show you’re referring to, so I could be whistling Dixie here.
Always forget Grant's victories. They had political value and moral value. Also, Vicksburg will fall July 4. Lee cannot do anything about that and OH IN IL and MO will see the Mississippi flow to New Orleans with goods and $$$ will flow North.
Not during the Gettysburg campaign. I mean some, but they basically went on a shopping spree up here before the battle. The Union boys had more deficiencies with food and clothing during this campaign. Just another myth that the Lost Cause has tricked us into thinking. 😀
@@addressinggettysburg With all due- and sincere- respect, the idea that the men of the AotP had a greater problem with procuring food than did the men of the AoNV has no foundation at all. The operational objective of Lee's campaign was to forage off of enemy territory and restock the AoNVs supply train. The historical record is clear enough that Lee's army was all but starving along the line of the Rappahannock- enough so that he couldn't remain there. In fact, the necessity of Lee's army to forage crippled his entire campaign. Lee was strapped for time from day one until his withdrawal southward, and foraging ate up time in his march northward that he never had to spare. In fact, the AoNV was in such dire need for food that it prompted Lee to commit the fatal error of the campaign- by giving his cavalry commander two critical objectives for one small force (and not designating either as a priority) and directing Stuart to gather provisions for the army. Clothing? Possibly- but only if one doesn't count shoes. Cheers...
Fantastic. Very much enjoyed this.
Glad you enjoyed it
You guys are great!!! Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Will do!
@@addressinggettysburg I am a civil war buff myself. Gettysburg is my favorite battle, I'm reading Guelzo's book currently.
Love this video....I listen to it a number of times
Thank you!
Another great Episode! I always wondered if Lee Knew how badly mangled Hood and McClaws divisions were after day 2.
I think Longstreet made it clear to him.

Greetings from Georgia. Just discovered you guys and am following you on Apple Podcasts. Look forward to catching up.
Howdy! Welcome aboard. I hope you have learning with us.

Where near Berdan?

Yep. The devil is always in the details.

Lol
if he wore a cap/hat he would look much better...he is the opposite of J.E.B
And to think i was scuttling around on the texas path on face of little round top the day after the control burn in 2017.
Once it opens, you’ll have a lovely path to walk on without a chance of twisting an ankle lol
"Williams was coming right in your rear" 👌
Lol
Came across the "m" yesterday! Lol
Nice!
Random comment... but it's SO NICE to visit in April... with 80 degree weather... and no bird attacking you when you visit Iverson's pits!
The weather today is great!
Geeez. All those road routes at the start gave me a headache
Those convos are always tough without having a map in front of you
Yeah it’s a lot
Yes it’s always handy to have a map of possible
I agree . This would;ve been so much better if accompanied by a map or maps . I don't know modern rt. 70 etc. .

54:47's question of why new regiments...If the U.S.A. had created new regiments like this during the Vietnam War might the U.S. have won that war?
No because the populace didn’t have the head, heart or stomach to win during Vietnam. Plus, theoretically, the South had the heart for war and still lost with those regiments. Also, I didn’t listen to the point in the show you’re referring to, so I could be whistling Dixie here.

The rank and file of the Confederates were hungry, wearing rags and barefooted but their leaders were wearing high fashion grey.

Comment for the UA-cam gods
👍
Studebaker and the Confederate army, Hmmm .I can see Bobby Lee driving one.
Is he driving or is Fozzie Bear (from the Muppets)(see: "A Bear In His Natural Environment")?
😂
Much useless conversations about roads that mean nothing to someone who doesn't live in the area. I stopped listening after 5 minutes
Lol you’re depth of intellectual curiosity is inspiring. Thanks for the interaction though. Helps with the algorithm
