The History Things Podcast has said it before and on this 160th commemoration of The Most Glorious Fourth, we will say it again. There is so much happening in the Summer of 1863!!
To help Pat and Matt better understand one of the major events of that summer is historian Andrew Miller who dives deep into the Vicksburg Campaign, the Siege and ultimate fall of the "Gibraltar of the South". Andrew also puts the Glorious Fourth at Vicksburg into context with Gettysburg, Tullahoma and Port Gibson. All major United States victories that occured in the first ten days of July, 1863.
So join us as we give theses parallel campaigns the context they deserve this Fourth of July!
