When you click on it and sign into your Amazon account we get credit for your purchases and you don't pay a penny more for it.

JUNE 16 UPDATE: Five episodes are in the can featuring Licensed Battlefield Guides (LBG) Jim Pangburn and Bob Steenstra. More are slated to record future episodes but we will always need more guides and park rangers. So if you are or know one and would like to help us sell Gettysburg to the public around the world, please contact us at matt@addressinggettysburg.com
JULY 19 UPDATE: Bonus episodes accumulating. We will launch a Patreon page with the real history nerds in mind. Patrons will receive access to bonus content which focuses more on specifics. Think of the free episodes of the podcast as whistler whetters for the masses; a bird's-eye view of the battle, if you will. On the other hand, subscriers to our Patreon page will get to swoop down for a deep dive into specific actions of the battle like The Weahtfield, for instance, as well as interviews with authors, actors and other people of note surrounding the battle of Gettysburg. So far we have author Christopher Loperfido's interview about his book "Death, Disease and Life at War" recorded on the battlefield behind te monument to the 111th NY. Tonight we are excited to record an interview with D Scott Hartwig about his book "A Killer Angels Companion" and how the novel and, by entension, the movie Gettysburg stray from reality. We are super excited to meet Scott and talk with such a knowledgable and accomplished person.
