- If you're visiting Gettysburg soon, you might want to listen to this episode (and all our others) before taking any tour.
History podcasts, like this one, like to get deep into the weeds. While that might be good for the lifelong Gettysnerd™, most visitors to Gettysburg have never even seen the movie, let alone read a book about it, so they are coming at it cold. Where did I get that statistic? Totally made it up, but I made it up based on meeting thousands of visitors over the last 18-20 years. Anyway, I asked LBGs Bob Steenstra and Deb Novotny, both retired educators, to help me break down the battle of Gettysburg to what you need to understand before diving in. As much as we try to keep it at a 30,000-foot level, we do dive into the weeds once in a while. Maybe it will make sense to you newbies, maybe it won't, but it will someday. Enjoy your visit and and we hope we can soon count you among the ranks of Gettysnerds™ out there!

Very informative. Always good to hear from Deb and Bob.
Glad you enjoyed it
I've been visiting the battlefield for more years than I care to admit, and I think this was very informative. I especially like the mnemonic "a cloudy day brings rain." Wish I'd heard that years ago!
Glad it was helpful!
