Building off their first of the year topic, Pat and Matt got the chance to discuss the most famous soldiers of Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, the coal miners of the 48 Pennsylvania Infantry! To help flesh out the history of this well known and documented regiment is fellow ranger, John Hoptak.John and Matt go way back, having both previously worked at Antietam National Battlefield and Pat was fortunate to attend several of John's programs while he was there. Throughout the years however the 48th Pennsylvania has been a passion project for John, not only on the battlefields of the National Park Service, but also in his personal research and writing. This is a fantastic discussion that covers all aspects of the regiment and the men that made up its ranks. It also wouldn't be a talk on the 48th Pennsylvania without covering it's most famous digging operation during the Siege of Petersburg and the tragedy that followed their success.The History Things Podcast is brought to you by HistoryNet, publisher of 9 different historical magazines including; the Civil War Times, American History, & Military History!

The American Civil War battle at Antietam, Maryland,(called Sharpsburg by the Confederacy) on 17 September 1862, has been called the bloodiest day of that conflict. Confederate General Lee's invasion of the North was repulsed, and when the fighting ended, the course of the Civil War had been greatly altered. This victory by the North moved President Abraham Lincoln to issue The Emancipation Proclamation, freeing all slaves in states then in rebellion against the Union. This 1960 publication is number 31 in the Historical Handbook series put out by the U.S. National Park Service. Print edition contains valuable maps that inform on troop movements. The author was a World War I veteran, a noted Civil War historian, and chief historian for the Gettysburg National Military Park in the 1950s and 1960s. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/3daudiobooks0/support

Not all attractions are designed to delight and thrill. Many of the most impactful places in the United States of America have histories behind them that demand introspection and reverence, and today’s spotlight is certainly one of those. It’s easy in the age of blockbuster films and multiplayer video games to think of the World Wars when one considers the most violent periods in American history. But, in reality, the bloodiest day in American military history occurred 157 years ago today, September 17, 1862 outside Sharpsburg, Maryland, when the Union Army of the Potomac battled the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia near Antietam Creek. The Battle of Antietam resulted in over 22,000 dead, wounded, or missing. While tactically considered a draw, strategically, most historians consider it to be a union victory, but at a tremendous cost. Following the battle, Abraham Lincoln felt he had the political capital to issue the Emancipation Proclamation, which would go a long way toward preventing international recognition of the Confederacy and hastening the end of the American Civil War. Today, the battlefield of Antietam rests within Antietam National Battlefield, administered by the US National Park Service. The 3,230 acre reserve preserves the landscape of the battlefield, and efforts have been made over the years to restore previously developed portions back to their 1860’s state. Within the site, Guests can visit the Visitor Center, which contains exhibits on the battlefield and events of the day, as well as an observation room, theater and museum store. The Visitor Center also features a 26-minute orientation film narrated by the legendary James Earl Jones. Around the battlefield are many resources to better help Guests understand the scope and importance of the battle. The National Park Service has installed Wayside signage at key locations within the complex. These explain the battles that occurred within the grounds and interpret the events for the general public. Predating the NPS waysides are over 300 19th-Century tablets created by the War Department that detail the regiments and actions of the battle. The National Park Service recommends that Guests have a good working knowledge of the battle of Antietam to best use these landmarks to interpret the site. Following the battle, veterans’ organizations and states commemorated the sacrifice of their troops by constructing memorials at the battle site. Today there are 96 distinct monuments, most of them Union in origin. Exploring the grounds further, Guests can also find artillery locations, denoted by decommissioned cannons on the battlefield, mortuary cannons, which indicate the locations where three Union generals and three Confederate generals were killed or mortally wounded, and can see fence placements from the battle. If an aerial view is more your speed, the site also contains an observation tower built in 1896. The battlefield is also home to the Pry House Field Hospital Museum where visitors can learn more about the medical treatments of the day. Insider tip, come with a strong stomach. Guests can also experience the hallowed ground of the Antietam National Cemetery, the final resting place of over 4,000 Union troops, including over 1,800 unknowns. The cemetery is also home to the Private Soldier Monument, originally displayed at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia and then moved to Sharpsburg. This is only the briefest of overviews of this poignant site. A place like this cannot be sufficiently described in the time we have today, so I encourage all of you to visit this site as well as any of the 11 national battlefields, nine National Military Parks, four National Battlefield Parks and the sole remaining National Battlefield Site. A visit to Antietam is certainly an opportunity to reflect and respect the sacrifices made by so many.

With over 22 years of National Park Service experience, Antietam National Battlefield, Superintendent Susan Trail, talks with American Journalist Victoria Gaither about her love for history, love for America's National Parks and becoming Superintendent. ICRadio had a wonderful experience visiting this America treasure and learning the role it played in history.

From the start, Chambersburg, a quiet farming community near the Maryland border, was truly the crossroads of destiny. In 1859, John Brown set the stage for conflict when he planned his raid on Harpers Ferry while he was staying in Chambersburg. This raid was the final spark that set off the Civil War. Then, for four long years, Chambersburg residents endured an influx of both Union and Confederate troops, often outnumbering them in their own community. As a staging area for the Union Army, thousands of soldiers prepared for war there. Its geographic proximity to the Confederacy brought such Confederate leaders as Generals JEB Stuart and Robert E. Lee to Chambersburg. All told, more than 150,000 soldiers- blue and gray- trod the streets of Chambersburg and camped in its environs. Ted Alexander, Park Historian at Antietam National Battlefield, is the author of more than a hundred articles and book reviews, and the author or co-author of several books on the Civil War.
