ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE JANUARY 11, 2021 ON PATREON. And speaking of Patreon, did you know that 8 out of 10 doctors in Northern Ireland agree that the best preventative measure you can take for good health include diet, exercise and becoming a Patron of Addressing Gettysburg? Of course you didn't know that. I just made it up and, while it may not be scientifically true, we all know it to be true. It's just that no one has been able to prove it in a study yet. So, help the scientists gather data for our health. Join today / addressinggettysburg
While with the Park Service, Scott Hartwig wrote an essay entitled "High Water Mark Heroes, Myth and Memory." It covers the piece of ground that includes landmarks such as "The Angle" and "The Copse of Trees" and answers some questions about just where Pickett's and Pettigrew's divisions were heading on July 3, 1863. Was their objective the Copse of Trees or Zeigler's Grove? What about Cemetery Hill? Scott joins us to dispell the myths that have popped up over the years since the battle of Gettysburg. There's a lot more detail in the article and we recommend you read it before you listen. npshistory.com/series/symposia...
