    A Hero at the Gettysburg Peach Orchard: The Story of Anna Etheridge

    Travel to Historic Locations with History or Drive. The episode revisits July 2, 1863 at Gettysburg’s Peach Orchard—one of the battle’s deadliest spots—and highlights Anna Etheridge (“Gentle Annie”), a rare woman on the front lines in skirts, armed with pistols, riding a horse with medical supplies, and tending the wounded under fire. Scott and Jenn explain how Etheridge began serving with her husband in the 2nd Michigan as a laundress, shifted into nursing as combat intensified, and stayed with Michigan units even after her husband deserted, remaining with soldiers from early battles through Appomattox. They discuss testimony describing her as “cool and self-possessed,” her injury (shot in the hand) while continuing to aid others, and her recognition with the Kearny Cross (one of only two women to receive it). The episode notes her later Congressional pension, work in Washington, DC, and burial with full military honors at Arlington, and suggests she deserves a Gettysburg monument. 00:00 Chaos at Peach Orchard 01:28 Show Updates and Reviews 02:42 Why Anna Matters 05:36 Early Life and Enlistment 08:14 Kearny Takes Notice 09:54 Anna's role and why Jenn Flew Helicopters in the Navy 14:37 Gettysburg Angle Explained 16:33 Arlington Legacy 18:51 Vivadieres and Soldierhood 21:02 Final Reflection 📍 Google Maps to the peach orchard 🎥 Video version of this podcast ------------------------------------------------------- ⬇️ Help us keep the show going and explore history with us! ⬇️ TheHistoryRoadTrip.com 🧳 Plus...get free travel resources in your inbox. ------------------------------------------------------- 📧 contact: talkwithhistory@gmail.com Talk with History is a global Top 40 History podcast on Feedspot!

    Gettysburg 1863: A Civilian View of the Battle | Bo Brinkman & Samuel Roukin Interview

    Travel to Historic Locations with History or Drive. At the Gettysburg Film Festival, Scott and Jenn interview director Bo Brinkman (Gettysburg, 1993; upcoming Gettysburg 1863) and actor Samuel Roukin (Turn: Washington’s Spies) about portraying the Battle of Gettysburg through the experiences of civilians—especially women and children—rather than traditional battlefield spectacle. Brinkman explains choosing a 9-year-old lead to heighten the emotional impact of war, slavery discussions, and a home invasion, and describes the film’s visual idea of the house as a “witness,” often framed through windows and the passage of time across all of 1863, including aftermath. Roukin shares how visiting the cemetery and walking the vast battlefield deepened his sense of the human cost, echoed by accounts of visible blood evidence at local sites. 00:00 Gettysburg 01:18 Film Festival Intro 03:05 Trailer Reactions 03:37 Why a Nine Year Old as a Lead Actress? 05:46 Acting as a Father 07:34 History with Waffles asks Why Gettysburg Calls 10:56 History Was Earned 11:26 Salvaging History asks about Researching Characters 13:09 Bloodstains and Forensics 14:28 Ghost Stories on Set 15:48 Scripting Fact vs Fiction 18:30 Salvaging History asks about The "Window Witness" 19:27 Final Reflections and Thanks 🎥 Video version of this podcast ------------------------------------------------------- ⬇️ Help us keep the show going and explore history with us! ⬇️ TheHistoryRoadTrip.com 🧳 Plus...get free travel resources in your inbox. ------------------------------------------------------- 📧 contact: talkwithhistory@gmail.com Talk with History is a global Top 40 History podcast on Feedspot!
