Ken Gavin is back with the second installment of our Valley Forge episode as our nation prepares for its 250th birthday. Just how bad was that winter at Valley Forge?

Out of all the popular actions of the Battle of Gettysburg, none was fought for as many hours as the fight for Culp's Hill. Charlie Fennell is back with the follow-up to July 2nd's Culp's Hill episode, which can be heard here https://youtu.be/bcmHdY77dtE

In this frigid Winter, it is fitting that our pal and fellow-Patron Ken Gavin comes back to talk about the Winter at Valley Forge during the American Revolution. Originally intended to be a one-parter, I found it difficult to hasten the process as I love learning about this period from Ken. He's a font of knowledge. So, we decided to make it a two-parter, the second party will be out next week.

Ken Rich had an idea for a show about the infrastructure of Gettysburg that enabled the armies to converge and fight the three-day Battle of Gettysburg. Roads, waterways, hills, dales--and Roys (get it?)--, ridges, all sorts of things fall into this category. To me, it says that Gettysburg is a place that Mother Nature built for WAR!
<...We all know that during the Gettysburg Campaign in 1863, JEB Stuart was "ridin' 'round up North gettin' his name in the papers." Undoubtedly, he ain't caused nothing but a little fuss.
But what about his foray into the Keystone State in 1862? Well, Tracy Baer joins us to fill us in on that lesser-known raid.
