122 The Civil War: Gettysburg Part III: The Morning of the First Day

In this episode we focus on the morning of the first day at
Gettysburg. Robert E. Lee and George Meade hoped that their
actions would entice the other side to battle. In fact, it became
a meeting engagement as the leading elements of both armies
bumped into each other at Gettysburg. Rather than retreat from
adversity, Henry Heth attacked, committing the Army of Northern
Viriginia to the offensive. We also spend some time on how to
experience the battlefield at Gettysburg. Take a listen!
