, partners, the gettysburg national military park, for the things that we do to preserve gettysburg so that you all the stories why it's important and you are at probable even most i thi i'm not going to say probably because i'm in charge here right. i'm the president ceo. i can say that it's the most preserved civil war field hospital site in the american war in the united states anywhere. and it's thankso a lot of donors like you all that helped make that possible. so this is the spangler family out in front of the spangler farm. this is a turn of the century photograph. it does show some of the origal buildings here, as paul mentioned, my first trip here to the farm was 35 years ago. in 18, i wrote a little book on lewis armstea who was one of the confederate. it's he's the hight ranking confederate soldier he at the farm. he died here on july 1863. we can talk a b about him. and i wrote a little book on him and i asked one of the battlefield guides, greg koko, who is ranger battlefield guide, who wrote a book on civil war field hospitals. he's done many books and i should hate, you

gettysburg. the union victory at gettysburg. the union victory at fort hudson. so the land won the c-1 is the arrival of the s.s.labama in the southwest pacific in the fall of 1863, where she takes several s. merchant ships. and that does two important things. number one, it globalize the civil war. we should never forget that the confederate commerce raiders globalized the civil war. our friends from the uk roundtable were back there saying, thank you, thank you very much, thank you're, welcome to. this the second thing that it does is it energizes as the us asiatic squadron if we had been sending ships outhere since commodore perry in 1853we'd actually been fighting few skirmishes with pirates in and around and in what's now the western pacific. as we know, the first island chain to use the modern term for it. but this energizes the us navy to have a more robust presence in asia, which it hamaintained to varying reefs right up to this very best. and so from thaperspective, when you look at the united stat really broadly as an asiatic pacific power 1863 and the

but i you know, it's after gettysburg. it's this traumatic moment in the army, a moment in which these soldiers are thinking deeply, and many are not just thinking deeply, but acting that in deserting. so there is these moments. i don't think there's that kind of moment any union army that i can think of in which these union soldiers who are semi-literate, who probably disgruntled with their situation, but their situation again, is there there's different in terms of the material reality is as well. i mean, all of that factors in so as you can see from my response, i'm going around and around and around and i'd say, did you say there directly at all, well, i should just said is i need to spend some time that before i give you an answer. so that's what i need do. yes, please go ahead. yeah. so my question is, i don't think there's censorship by the military of these letters. were they concerned at all operational security, like, you know, a guy running home, like, hey, we were in northern at this point. we have 5000 guys an

with this little guy did when he was reciting the gettysburg address from memory. and i think she was really involved. and i remember being on the plane when we were driving the plane, marine one, helicopter, we were flying in to plains, where he won the vote last time, and we got the news at two in the morning that he was -- getting the word that he lost, and his heart must have broken, he said, just don't tell rosalynn. don't tell rosalynn. so -- >> let me ask you this. >> share. >> chris, we see different styles of first ladies over the years. what did rosalind bring to the position that was different then presidential spaces that came before and after her? >> well, i think true partnership. i mean, marriages are a little different, and a lot of them are not necessarily all -- professional side, they try to not share anything. but i get the feeling -- i remember watching her down in tijuana, and in the weather in tijuana, nobody knows this, but it's fabulous. it's really nice. and we slept out all night getting ready for -- but she had the apron on, she was haul

campaign or actually on the cusp of the actual battle of gettysburg. when stuart, as i'm sure most of you know, will fall into a great deal of controversy controversy. key to the tonight is washington d.c. as the capital of the north. you may or may not really have given part to the fact that washington throughout the war is in the settlement of its populace, a southern city. it's not a northern city they're not necessarily all for the north it's a southern city surrounded by the border state of maryland and the state of virginia, the southern state there. and it's also surrounded by high ground. so one of the first things that they did the north had to do was fortify the city to try to protect it. and although this map is probably off for our purposes tonight, probably gives you you'll see it a couple of times it gives you sense of that was sort of occasions as they ring the city with those circles there we will come back to that i said a couple of times so so starting with the christmas writing, going to show it pretty quickly. if i spend more time o

the comparon between vicksburg and gettysburg. you throw tullahoma in there, we just heard about bragg and the importance of that. you know, that's prty good week, july the first week of july in 80. 63 is a pretty good week for the for the union. not so goofor the confederacy in erie vicksburg. i would argue to you the vicksburg is the most comp lex largest and probably the most important of the cil war. now, i'm not one of these that says you can pick out one date or one battle or one campaign and says that's it. you know, the civil war was er. that's when it was decided. in fact, i was thinkg about this and i've come to the conclusion in particularly dealing with adversity, just. johnston early in the war, a lot of people say, was the war done in 1862? but i've come to the conclusion that in a baseball pennant, how many of your baseball how many of you braves fans? oh, what? i know. we'll go one or two. i know. we've got a phillie fan back there. sorry. is he wathe last time i saw him. he was wearing his phillies jersey during t

and leaves the university the gettysburg address today, by the way. so i go all right, i'm going to drive around maine and sort of see what's out there. and i was in the truck that my father had given me when i was in high school. so that was intentional. it's yeah, i'm solo traveling, but i got my dog there and i have the truck that my dad gave me. so there's still a sort of protective cocoon, if you will, around me. and i'm driving in this working forest and they have this big sign that says, you know, this is a working forest. there really trucks loaded up with timber trees if they come down the road, you know, it's irresponsible. you get home and i'm driving along and this is so beautiful. i'm deep in the woods. there's no cell phone reception. there's nothing. just the dog, the truck and me. and this big timber truck comes kind out and it's just this cloud of dust and i realized i didn't have enough time necessarily to get out of the way. no where the edge of the road was. it could go over. and so i just took took a leap of faith, if you will, an

so fst of l, john from gettysburg, did anybodyffer to the white house as a of the tour? yes. yeah, actually, short tngs came in to the white house. all through the kennedy administration. there was lot of publicity early on. you saw the life magazine story also publicized in newspaper was so froearly on, ordinary americans would find in the attic anwould send to the white hoe for consideration b mrs. kennedy and the curator in her committee. some of those things were kept. they were they were deed to be of historical enough significance tt they should be in the white houseollection. as you can imagine, a lot of thin were sent in unsolicited. would en retned. but everyone s graciously for thinking of the house. and even if their item was returned. mrs. kennedy so appreciated the patriotism of all america and you know, just wanting to share you know, their history with the white house. so for sure, after on the nationwide worldwide tour was broadct, more donations came in. absoluly. and this is kind of a related question, but also asking your personal opinion so, jim, what do y
