Episode 12: The Myth of Little Round Top with Garry Adelman

Episode 12 is a special holiday bonus episode brought to us by Santa Sickles himself!   In this episode, Eric and Jim are joined by their friend and colleague Garry Adelman to discuss his 2003 book The Myth of Little Round Top.

Why does Little Round Top loom so prominently in the history of the Battle of Gettysburg, and has this always been the case? Likewise, how was the fighting that occurred there on July 2, 1863, interpreted and viewed by those who were there?

Eric, Garry, and Jim also discuss the chances the Confederates had in capturing the hill, what might they have been able to do with it, and how does it compare to other Confederate attacks on July 2.
