Omg the “quiet” and “there is no more time for that” in the beginning is phenomenal.
Lol
Charlie Fennel is a gem!
that he is
I have to hook up with Charlie as we're fellow W. Pa guys. He can say yinz around me and I know exactly what he means.

I love your podcast:-) I do hope you can do one on Lee`s retreat, that would be great! Greatings from Norway
Check out today's upload and there's also a Patreon episode about it. More on the subject to come.
Awesome. Thanks
You bet!
Looking at the Girandoni air rifle on an official weapon’s website, you could definitely do damage with this weapon. The force of the projectile leaving the weapon is massive, so at short range it could definitely seriously injure and even kill someone…
👍
Love me, K8E666!
The union army was always a match. It stops Lee at Antietam Fought very well at Fredericksburg and more than held its own at Chancellorsville It was Burnside and Hookers failures that led to those defeats. So the army of the Potomac was a match as shown by its performance at Gettysburg.
good point
Lee's order to Longstreet for a dawn attack is disputed and not a fact as suggested here.
Don’t worry, we’ve disputed it on some Patreon episodes.
Makes me wonder what Stuart was doing back there at all.
🤷🏻♂️

Culps Hill has two summits?????
Yes and no. The hill that Culp owned is upper Culp's Hill. "Lower Culp's Hill" was on the Spangler property. Geologically, they're essentially the same hill. But by property line, they're different. So "Culp's Hill" has an upper and lower summit, but Culp only owned one of them. If that makes sense.
@@addressinggettysburg I gotcha. Tim Smith loses his cool when one refers to the lower hill as Culp's. I could just feel him cringe with that remark. It doesn't bother me as much. Love the show.
Its getting dark for Lee too, Lee's army is also shattered. Both sides are hungry. So the criticisms of Mead are warranted here IMO. You guys laughing it off not withstanding. .
But you say they’re dark for Lee’s army TOO. Meaning they’re both in a world of hurt and dealing with a lot of crap that very few of us armchair generals would be able to deal with in real life.
@@addressinggettysburg I realise you were covering a lot of ground. But as mentioned, Lee was a finisher, Would Lee in Meade's shoes, have simply been content to let Lee escape back in to Virginia? Would Grant? Meade's job here was to destroy Lee's army. But he was content to simply drive him off union soil. But as lincoln says, "it's all our soil."
