Welcome to Public History with Justin, Jake, and Molly - a podcast about how we share, interpret, and connect with the past. Each episode, we dig into how history is told in museums, historic sites, classrooms, and pop culture — and how storytelling can make the past relevant to the world we live in today. Between us, we've spent years in the field — from leading tours on Civil War battlefields and preserving historic landscapes to interpreting the stories of America's industrial workers and sharing local history online. We've seen firsthand how public history shapes communities, sparks curiosity, and sometimes stirs debate. Together, we'll talk with fellow historians, educators, and storytellers about how history reaches the public — on screen, on the ground, and everywhere in between. Through these conversations, we'll explore the ways history continues to inform who we are and who we want to be. The thoughts and opinions shared here are our own and don't represent those of our employers or affiliated organizations. more

A podcast about Philly history, lore and urban legends from the South Fellini people.

Nestled in the gently rolling farmlands around the historic town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, was the site of one of the most pivotal battles in American history. Over the course of three intense days, from July 1 to July 3, 1863, a fierce confrontation erupted between 75,000 Confederate forces and 88,000 Union troops, resulting in a staggering 51,000 casualties. Both sides displayed remarkable bravery, peaking with the iconic Confederate assault known as Pickett‚s Charge on July 3. This Union victory marked the end of the last Confederate invasion of the North and heralded a slow decline in Southern military dominance. A few months later, President Abraham Lincoln delivered his renowned Gettysburg Address at the dedication of the national cemetery, honoring the soldiers who had lost their lives in this fierce conflict. This 1954 publication, revised in 1961, is the ninth installment in the Historical Handbook series published by the U.S. National Park Service. The author, a World War I veteran and esteemed Civil War historian, served as the chief historian for the Gettysburg National Military Park during the 1950s and 1960s. - Summary by Frederick Tilberg and David Wales more

A Philly History Podcast

Abner Doubleday began the Civil War as a Union officer and aimed the first cannon shot in response to the bombardment opened on Ft. Sumter in 1861. Two years later, after a series of battles (including Antietam, where he was wounded), Doubleday took over a division in the Army of the Potomac's 1st Corps.These are his memoirs of service in two of the War's great campaigns. At Chancellorsville, a very promising start made by General Hooker against Lee's Confederate forces fell to a defeat when, in Doubleday's estimation, normal and prudent precautions against surprise in the heavily-wooded battlefield were not carried out; he also seemingly apologizes for Hooker's lack of leadership during the battle as a result of his having been stunned by a cannon ball hitting the post against which he was leaning.After Chancellorsville, Hooker was replaced as Army Commander by General George Meade. Doubleday describes the curious circumstances that led the two opposing armies to meet at Gettysburg in Pennsylvania. When Doubleday's superior, General John Reynolds, was killed by a sharpshooter on the first day's battle, he took over the 1st Corps and fought it well against converging Confederate divisions that badly outnumbered him. The Corps was forced by battle losses to retire, but its desperate fight bought the time needed for Union reinforcements to pour into Gettysburg and thus prevent a defeat in detail.General Howard of the XIth Corps replaced Doubleday as the senior commander on the field, and mistakenly wrote to Meade that 1st Corps had routed after practically no fighting. Thus, when Meade arrived, he removed Doubleday from command of 1st Corps, replacing him with a more junior general from another Corps. The snub would embitter Doubleday against Meade. This book is in part Doubleday's revenge, as he picks apart Meade's indecision after the battle was essentially won, with the repulse of the famous Pickett's Charge. In his view, Meade could have won the war at that moment. (Summary by Mark Smith) more
