I’m so glad to have an opportunity to save a piece of the Spotsylvania battlefield especially with all the building going on in that area (just miles from my home). I’m excited to read the collaborative effort. Thank you for taking time to share the process and purpose in the video.
I truly enjoy Gary’s presentations. I think that is because he is such an animated speaker. He seems so “into” his subject that the listener becomes involved too. I am a nurse. Civil War studies started with looking at the sick and wounded, treatment they received and the doctors involved in their care. Since then I have studied the people and the battles.. Most interesting. As of the moment, I have visited 10 battlefields. My favorites? Antietam and Getttysburg. For some reason I can Identify more closely with what happened so long ago. I would love to teach Civil War subjects. I have done a great deal of teaching as a nurse. I know I would be good because of my great interest in this subject.
I donated a couple of days ago. Keep up the good work. I've been to Champions Hill and it would be awesome if one day there is enough land to have a park there. Corinth I haven't been to, but what a pivotal spot during 1862.
1. I read the soldier deaths were 5 to illnessess and 3 to the battles. I think Sherman managed too cruel campain In George and in the Carolines but to stop the War was extrem importan because the illnessess killed more soldiers than we think from the XXIst Century! Longer War more dead soldiers from illnessess. 2. Do not forget the illnessess was dangerouse for the local population or for the refugees as well. I found information exslave refugees got mallaria infection in the marsh of the Mississippi in Arkansas. 3. The destroyed towns, villages, soil were also the cost of the War. However we should remember to Germany (or Japan) because Germany was destroyed totally by Armies and Airforce of the Allies, but the World Market wanted Made in Germany products after the Second World War so not only Marshall plan helped them. South lost the big part of the raw cotton market to India, Egypt, Brasil, Ottoman Empire, other countries. South had not any good product for the World or for the USA except for the cotton with new World competitor countries for a longer time. Oil of Texas and Lousiana, phosphat, sulphure, Birmingam steel in Alabama, Teenneessee valley electric dams, touristic industry in Florida, Space industry, etc were in the sack of future and untill these it was 30-40 years poor life in the South.
Great podcast 👏

It doesn't get much better than you two for a discussion and coffee.
Thanks!

I could say Sherman campaign was the Hiroshima and Nagasaki of the Civil War.
