What better way to kick off Season Five than by getting down into the weeds on some regional history!? This month the guys are speaking to Jake Wynn about the proud, but controversial history of Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania and the Coal Miners strike that occured there during the Civil War.For those who have spent some time with the Civil War, Schuylkill County is likely a Pennsylvania County you have heard of before. Famous for its coal mines and miners, the county was torn between trying to put men in the field and keep coal coming up out of the ground. This led to resentment and then outright resistance by the miners themselves.

On another installment in the "Battle Memory" series, Avery and Codie are joined by Jake Wynn of the "Wynning History" blog and "Pennsylvania in the Civil War" page. Jake stuns Avery and Codie with the incredible accounts of Irvin Schwartz, who hailed from Schuylkill County, PA and went on to serve in the 26th Regiment of the 1st Infantry Division (The Big Red One) in the European Theater of World War II. Schwartz saw many significant actions during his time in Europe including the Normandy Invasion and the Battle of the Bulge, where he would have his most harrowing war experience yet. The guys discuss the importance of primary sources and how significant these types of accounts are in shaping our perceptions of major historical events. Avery & Codie also take the opportunity to promote Jake's new, upcoming podcast, "The Gazette", which will be an episodic telling of the American Civil War as it happened through the words of the Pittston Gazette.

Avery, Codie & Tony, along with a brief cameo by Jake Wynn of "Pennsylvania in the Civil War" & the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office, pick up with the second installment of the Spotsylvania Court House trilogy. On this episode, the guys talk about the horrendous scene of combat that took place at the "Mule Shoe" Salient at the center of the Confederate line. Between May 12-13, 1864, the Union Army of the Potomac & Confederate Army of Northern Virginia engaged in 22 hours of sustained hand-to-hand combat in the pouring down rain! The guys try to make sense of such a harrowing display of carnage on the battlefield, while keeping calm and carrying on. Enjoy!
Walt Whitman once wrote that, “Future years will never know the seething hell and the black infernal background of countless minor scenes and interiors . . . of the Secession war; and it is best they should not—the real war will never get in the books.” Although the painful, real stories of the Civil War and its grisly impacts may not have been accurately captured by authors – today’s guest, Jake Wynn, the Director of Interpretation at the National Museum of Civil War Medicine, is dedicated to telling those stories – and highlighting the grave sacrifices and incredible compassion displayed during that era. As we confront a medical crisis in our own time, we sat down with Jake to learn about epidemics, disease, and health during the Civil War – and what lessons there might be for our own time. ABOUT TODAY'S GUEST Jake Wynn is the Director of Interpretation at the National Museum of Civil War Medicine and the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office Museum. He is a 2015 graduate of Hood College in Frederick, MD. He writes independently about Pennsylvania history at Wynning History and the Pennsylvania in the Civil War blog.
