The Battle Gettysburg Pickett's Charge With (Matt Atkinson)

In this episode of American Civil War & UK History, host Daz is joined by a Park Ranger from Gettysburg National Military Park to discuss July 3rd at the Battle of Gettysburg and Pickett's Charge.

Pickett's Charge was an infantry assault on July 3, 1863, during the Battle of Gettysburg. It was ordered by Confederate General Robert E. Lee as part of his plan to break through Union lines and achieve a decisive victory in the North. The charge was named after Major General George Pickett, one of the Confederate Army's division commanders. The assault was aimed at the center of the Union Army's position on Cemetery Ridge, which was believed to be a vulnerable point in the Union defenses.

The Chalke History Festival, which began in 2011 as a fundraiser for a local cricket club in Broad Chalke, near Salisbury, has grown to become the UK's largest history festival It was the brainchild of two individuals: James Holland, a club stalwart and historian, and James Heneage, the founder and former CEO of Ottakar's bookshops. Since its inception, the festival has significantly expanded and is now recognized as the "largest in Britain dedicated entirely to history," often referred to as the "Glastonbury of history festivals."

This not-for-profit organization operates as a charitable trust known as the Chalke History Trust. Initially, a small event featuring just 12 speakers, the festival is now committed to making history accessible and engaging, particularly for younger audiences.

The Battle of Cold Harbor with (Dr. Nathan Provost)

In this episode of American Civil War & UK History podcast, host Daz was joined by historian Dr. Nathan Provost to discuss the Battle of Cold Harbor.

Dr. Provost chose to focus his dissertation on the Battle of Cold Harbor, dedicating a significant amount of time to researching this battle and its associated data.

The Battle of Cold Harbor was fought during the American Civil War near Mechanicsville, Virginia, from May 31 to June 12, 1864, with the most intense fighting occurring on June 3. It was one of the final battles of Union Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's Overland Campaign is remembered as one of the most lopsided battles in American history. Thousands of Union soldiers were killed or wounded during the frontal assault on June 3 against the fortified positions of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee's army, which further contributed to the perception of Grant's apparent disregard for high casualties.

Stonewall Jackson

In this episode of The Figures of the American Civil War Podcast, I am joined by self-confessed Stonewall Jackson fan Chris Mackowski to discuss the life of Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson.

Born on January 21, 1824, in Clarksburg, Virginia, Jackson graduated from West Point in 1846 and began his career in the artillery. He fought in the Mexican-American War, but in 1852, he resigned his military commission to accept a teaching position at the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia, where he served as a Professor of Natural and Experimental Philosophy.

Throughout his life, Jackson faced several tragedies, but his devotion to his faith helped him persevere. When the Civil War began, he accepted a position in the Confederate Army. During the Battle of First Bull Run, he earned one of the most famous nicknames in American Civil War history: "Stonewall." Jackson
