Immediately following the Battle of Gettysburg, Oliver Otis Howard said, "The more you look at the battle of Gettysburg, the more you will see the hand of a guiding Providence."
Nowhere, perhaps, is that providence more evident than on the first day of the battle.
This program describes the chaos and confusion of that morning, as well as the momentum the the Iron Brigade established. While their momentum was short-lived, it was nonetheless critical to delaying the Confederate onslaught into Gettysburg--and arguably to the Union's victory.
There are a host of important leadership lessons from on Day One of the Battle of Gettysburg, and in this program we discuss several. The personalities of leaders at all levels were crucial to the decisions and dynamics that influenced the outcome of this desperate fight, on both sides.
In this program, we walk the actual ground of this battlefield where men like John Archer, Harry Heth, Joseph Davis, Solomon Meredith, Rufus Dawes, James Wadsworth and so many others fought and died. They were from Maryland, North Carolina, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, New York, Wisconsin, Michigan, Tennessee, Illinois, Indiana, and Alabama If you take the time, you can feel their struggle, and their continued presence on this field of battle.
