LBG Paul Bailey joins us for the first time on an Ask A Guide to talk about the Army of the Potomac's Major General John Newton. A Virginian who remained loyal to his oath to the United States of America, Newton participated in the construction of the Washington defenses, led a brigade in the Peninsula Campaign and worked his way up to the rank of major general and controversially commanding the 1st Corps here at Gettysburg. There's so much more to this man and Paul tells us in an engaging way.    Support Addressing Gettysburg by: -Joining Patreon www.patreon.com/addressinggettysburg -Grabbing a bag or ten of our first coffee brand, Little Ground Top www.addressinggettysburg.com/cafe -Visiting the Gettysburg Museum of History at 219 Baltimore Street in Gettysburg www.gettysburgmuseumofhistory.com -Visiting the Seminary Ridge Museum and Education Center https://www.seminaryridgemuseum.org/ -Grabbing some great merch from our shop www.addressinggettysburg.com/shop or from our friend Dave at TR Historical www.trhistorical.com -Reading a book from For The Historian www.forthehistorian.com

A 41-acre piece of historic Civil War land in Henrico has been preserved by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, in partnership with the Capital Region Land Conservancy. The site, known as Little Malvern Hill, was part of the larger Malvern Hill Farm until about 1877. It encompasses areas where the Civil War Battles of Glendale (1862), Malvern Hill (1862), Deep Bottom I (1864), and Deep Bottom II (1864) took place. The latter two battles were the final two in the Peninsula Campaign, a major operation launched by the Union to capture the Confederate capital of Richmond.

"To Hell or Richmond"—that was the cry during the spring of 1862. It's also the title of a new ECW Series book about the Peninsula Campaign by Doug Crenshaw and Drew Gruber, who join us on the latest episode of the Emerging Civil War Podcast.

The Seven Days Battles finally come to an end with disappointment for the Rebels. First up, we have a small engagement at White Oak Swamp with Stonewall Jackson continuing his laziness. Then, we have the final battle of the Seven Days at Malvern Hill where the Confederates get embarrassed, but it was enough as McClellan continues his withdraw which effectively ends the Peninsula Campaign.Send us your questions or comments to bangdangpodcast@gmail.com or find us on Twitter @bangdangpodcast!

The first action of the Second Manassas Campaign OR the last action of the Peninsula Campaign? ECW author Mike Block talks about the battle of Cedar Mountain and his recent book, The Carnage was Fearful.

From March to July in 1862, the Union army under the command of Gen. George B. McClellan launched the "Peninsula Campaign" as a major offensive and came very near to capturing the Confederate capital of Richmond.  In the real historical timeline, the nearly-defeated Confederate forces came under the command of Gen. Robert E. Lee and eventually achieved the Union army's withdrawal.

Just when I think we're going to make a normal-length episode... This one is long again, and I promise I'll keep getting better. But, for now, I hope you enjoy! This week we have a new guest - one of my long-time dear friends, Mr. Dennis Diggins. This week we covered everything Civil War from the first shots at Fort Sumter, to the bloody Battle of Antietam. We touched on the First Battle of Bull Run, McClellan's Peninsula Campaign, and the strategies of Robert E. Lee and the Confederacy. As always, we had way too much fun talking about these topics in our nation's history, and my non-history guest had a great time thinking back to his 8th Grade History classes and trying to remember all the details. What a wild time it was for the United States, so we hope you enjoy listening!

Let the campaigning season begin! Owen and Keith are back with a recap of the Peninsula Campaign, Seven Days Battles, Malvern Hill, and a spirited debated on the generalship of George B. McClellan and Robert E. Lee. 

After his victory over McClellan in the Peninsula Campaign, General Lee seizes the initiative and marches to destroy a second Union army guarding Washington. With anti-war sentiment building in Washington, Lincoln cannot afford to have this army destroyed. Will Lee crush this second army and force Lincoln to the negotiating table, or will Lee fail to destroy them? For the 20 or so Hillsdalians in this Union army, all they are concerned with is survival. Join us as we discuss the Second Battle of Bull Run!

This week we travel back even farther in time to discuss the Peninsula Campaign and the Battle of Gaines Mill, where Hillsdale troops first made a name for themselves in combat. Join us next time where we will discuss the Second Battle of Bull Run!

Date: November 2, 1998 Speaker: Robert O'Neil Topic: The Federal Cavalry in the Peninsula Campaign - Chicago Civil War Round Table Monthly Meeting

In this episode I look at the various issues that General McClellan had to deal with as he started off on his grand plan to invade Richmond by the back door. I look at the 1st month of the Peninsula Campaign as the Union Army started up that historical area only to be stopped by Yorktown. I also look at the various ways in which the Confederates did their best to stop the Union Army from an easy victory before finally deciding to make this the priority of the Confederacy on the Eastern Front in the late spring of 1862.

About this episode:  In the light of Union frustration after the unsuccessful Peninsula Campaign failed to take Richmond, and the Confederacy’s Seven Days Campaign which repelled the Union Army of the Potomac, the North’s military powers-that-be surrendered something they would regret: the strategic initiative. This is the story of what Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia did with it. In a dramatic turnaround in the Eastern Theater, we return to ground through which ran a stream that locals called Bull Run. This is the story of the Battle of Second Manassas.----more---- Some Characters Mentioned In This Episode: Henry Halleck John Pope J.E.B.

In early 1862 the Union Army launched a major operation in southeastern Virginia, the first large-scale offensive in the Eastern Theater. Lincoln replaced McDowell with George B. McClellan as commander. He reorganized the army, whipped it into shape, and also renamed it the Army of the Potomac. The goal was to roll over the Confederacy. The Rebels were not about to let that happen.
