meade, to me, general hunt made the comment that studying meade, he said i find meade grows on me. the more i study him, the more i like him. and those two didn't like one another. they had trouble with one another. put it that way. and meade almost demoted hunt out of the army at one time when hunt threatened to resign. and hunt later wrote a letter about this event saying, i can be -- i'm not biased when i write this letter because meade and i had some difficulties. and -- he says i gotta tell you, heroes on me. and i found every decision he made from the pike recline to leaving the pike recline and having a totally defensive position at gettysburg of his conduct of the battle of gettysburg, of his pursuit of lee the way he did, was exactly as it must have been. and he said never before has a person come into command so close to when combat began and been able to get control of an army and do what he did with it. i like george meade, folks. thank you all.

you know george mead. was never asked to become would he become commander of the army of the potomac? like other generals were who preceded him? general meade was simply ordered. to become commander of the army of the potomac by orders from the president of the united states dated, june 27 1863 and the reason for that was that nobody wanted to become commander of the army of the potomac. and it is true on june 2nd to john reynolds met. with henry hallick and the president of the united states as well as his secretary of war about the object or about the prospects of he becoming commander of the army of the potomac and he candidly said to george meade later that he declined. because he didn't want to pick up after burnsides and hookers leaving. now that pretty well expresses the opinions of lots of the high command of the army of the potomac. and when you stop and think about it. that poor army from the peninsula campaign in june of in july of 1862 to second, manassas to antietam to fredericksburg and to ch

five men, grant, butler, meade, smith, and hancock. they all needed to be on the same page in order for this plan to work. but grant failed to communicate his battle plans to all the subordinates. and thus, like the university of georgia, which drives down the field to the three yard line, and then fumbles [laughs], the general-in-chief jeopardized the potential payoff of his brilliant march to the james. what about the confederates? what are they up to? of course this fellow, beauregard, was in command of something called the department of north carolina and southern virginia since april 23rd. this was a huge department that extended from the south, the mouth of the cape fear river all the way up to the south bank of the james river. the virginia portion of his domain was called the first military district. it was under the command of henry wise, the former governor of virginia. he had authority over the garrison troops in his district, while bush rod johnson's division -- for containing butler at bermuda hundred, behind a compact def

meade was furious. he went to grant and said, rant! sheridan says if i turn him loose he could go in and whip the confederate cavalry in jeb stewart. did sheridan say that, and grant said yes, he did? well sheridan usually knows when he's talking about so go ahead and let him. they let sharon lewis. there is jeb stewart, the confederate calgary man, we have met him before. he is allegedly now! so while grant and lee face off spotsylvania, their respective cavalry corps go galloping across the country and collide all the way down here just outside of richmond yellow tavern. the site was inconclusive. sheridan got back to union lines. join butler and eventually rejoin grant. the significance of yellow tavern was deb stewart was mortally wounded, he died the next day. turns out the confederates had a decent bench in the area of cavalry leader. they had a very good cavalry leader after that. but least stewart was out of the site. back though to this situation. oh most -- he almost guts to spotsylvania before lee, but not. quietly takes it!

grant keeps trying to take his hands away from mead mead keeps making mistakes, which that has to intervene. you've got the problem that means upset because grant has intervened meanwhile meat has made several mistakes, which across the army a lot. and that's a problem. they have throughout this campaign. okay. anyway, so grant's going to command the army potomac the potomac now. we've already been. several times over the idea that there are a limited number of ways. you can take an army to richmond and supply it. and so there is the origin alexandria railroad going from alexandria, virginia down to gordonsville. you catch the virginia central and ride that down to richmond. it's the longest way. but and another problem with it is in this upper reaches of the orange and alexandria. it's vulnerable to confederate guerrillas. confederates can raid and potentially disrupt your supplies. but that's at least one way you can go. okay. another way is the richmond in fredericksburg railroad from the mouth of aquia creek on the potomac there straight down to richmond. it's short it's direct it's got

and when trump first came into office and meade was was meade was ruthless. he was a criminal. he did not believe that rules and regulations applied. he, you know, to him, he made judges, he made district attorneys and and when trump came into office, you know, he would he would talk about a figure who sounded very much like me and aides had no idea who he was talking about because most of his officials who work for him in the white house weren't from new york, but he would talk about meade swinging i think he described it as people thought it was a baseball bat. it was a cane and he told me this story in one of our interviews about meade esposito swinging his cane at people and he said meade ruled with an iron fist. and meade is one of the people who helped inform trump's idea of two things. one of how a political operator functions and rules, which is just top down. and the other is that meade fit trump's idea of strength and a lot of trump's idea of strength is informed by violence, violence and forms, which makes you strong. that, in turn informs what makes a good boss and

for abraham lincoln on july 14th in a letter written but never sent to mead although he knew that mead got the message via hallock the president affirmed. i am very very grateful to you for the magnificent success. you gave the cause of the country at gettysburg. the aftermath of the battle however, left lincoln oppressed. that's his word not mine at the seeming lack of aggressiveness on the part of mead. and of his fellow union commanders the mcconnell mcclellan created a culture of command in the army the potomac and of course it was still there when mead took over. i did not believe you appreciate the magnitude of the misfortune involved in lee's escape stated lincoln in a passage emphasizing his opinion. did gettysburg signaled. no grand turning point. he was within your easy grasp and to have closed upon him would in connection with our late successes vicksburg and elsewhere have ended the war. as it is. concluded a bitterly disappointed lincoln. the war will be prolonged indefinitely. your golden opportunity has gone and i am distressed immeasurably because of it many other north

meade never saw that letter. meade never knew about that letter. it pains me to say this, because i love that letter. it's at the library of congress. it pains me greatly. this would have gone with lincoln's papers upon his death. they went to his son, robert lincoln. robert lincoln was the one who gave them to the library of congress, and it had a kicker that it couldn't be released for many years because he wanted them released beyond a time period where anyone who was alive that his father may have mentioned was beyond their lifetime. because of things like this, where lincoln would vent and get out of his system, but not actually send it. which i wish we had these in the day of email. i've sent a few emails i wish i could take back. it tells you something about the presidents leadership style. the president was very upset, he got it out of his system a little bit, and then actually never sent it to general mead. we also have records related to the assassination of abraham lincoln, and the investigation that was part of that. this document was f

we had exceptional drought conditions in and around lake meade. can see the difference in water levels. satellite imagery from 2000, 2001 and '22. the extreme use from the colorado river. the lack of rainfall that shows just the amount of water that was depleted from lake meade in the past decades and unfortunately it resulted in a -- the lowest ever recorded reading here in lake meade at just 27% of its capacity at 1040 feet. there has been some improvement recently. we've had beneficial rains but that's only brought the water levels up in lake meade by five feet. we have a long way to go before we start to see some serious, meaningful improvement from the water levels there. the good news is the extended forecast here looking above average in terms of our precipitation. see if we can maintain that though through the rest of the winter when we have to build up water levels. max? >> derek, thank you very much, indeed. >>> now a world war ii era military training ground is the latest national monument in the united states. president biden traveled

when could to decide that meade was not an officer who could win the war.meade was competent in some, ways he could do some,'s meat was not the man who is going to win the war. there is a short term downturn and confederate morale, and a longer term downturn in north carolina. because north carolinians had suffered disproportionately at gettysburg, and that really encourage the anti-war movement in north carolina after gettysburg. but lee's reputation emerged unscathed. i find this remarkable and really hard to explain. much later in the war, confederate still described him as unbeaten on the battlefield. over and over, you read that. and in the united states, he remained a great bugaboo. that fact is underscored by grants taking the field against lee in the overland campaign of 1864. northern public opinion demanded that their guy go against the confederate guy who had been the doubling the union effort for more than two years at that point. but the strategic situation in the eastern theater after gettysburg simply returned to the rapid dan river line, whe

not from volcanos at lake mead.everal volcanos in several states. montana, idaho, california, wyoming. and they're all dating back to about 12 million years ago. another interesting point, however, ana, is they have discovered volcanic ash from a volcanic eruption 36,000 years ago. it sounds like an extremely long period of time. but that's a blink of an eye in geologic time. they're studying this for the first time to give a better understanding going farther into our future. i mean, we've learned a lot in the world of geology, since 1930. just in 2010, we had the eruption in europe. when you have eruptions, it cancels air space. they can't fly. they went without flying in europe for 12 to 14 days. electricity transmission. it's interesting. we hope to learn a little more. but i think it's interesting from several different states that have kind of fallen and rained on this area. if i may, ana, i would not be doing justice to our viewers in wisconsin or anywhere else, since we have a weather department. we've had m

first petersburg offense was george meade's gain completely not grants.ssed information on to hancock and burnside encouraging those officers to make an attack which brought an advantage over the beleaguered beauregard but hancock scored then someone leading on the 16th so the primary offensive responsibility on june 17 would belong to burnside. burnside's black division had not crossed the river so he would pass the services of his three white divisions and during the course of the day each of those divisions would venture separate assaults never achieving a nation with each other or the second and fifth corps on those flanks. the morning assault conducted by robert potter's division targeted the southern flank of beauregard's offenses centered on a high knoll occupied by something called a sham house. those of you who are familiar with this area to sham hock's knoll is just to the right side of the bag gate of fort lee en route 109. granted knitted that he wasn't sure what was going to happen but potter had moved his men up to the base of the hill durin
