Fixing Gettysburg: The Second Day

In this three-part series, I review a classic Ron Maxwell film about a little known historical event that no one talks about called the Battle of Gettysburg. I also present an abbreviated and oversimplified history of the battle, while simultaneously criticizing the movie for presenting an abbreviated and oversimplified history of the battle.

In the second episode, I discuss the first day of fighting on July 2, 1863 – including Dan Sickles' shenanigans on the left, the 20th Maine on Little Round Top, the 1st Minnesota, and the night battle on Culp's Hill.
