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.

Britt Isenberg joins us for the first time on AG to talk about the 21st Pa Cavalry. You might know that George Washington Sandoe was the first Union soldier to be killed in the BOG, but did you know all of the other things we talk about in this episode? Maybe a good deal. Probably some. Regardless, you should listen. You'll like Britt and you'll find the information compelling...or else!
