Ask A Gettysburg Guide #43- Little Round Top- with Garry Adelman
About this episode
You asked. You begged. We waited for the right time and that time is nigh.
Garry Adelman joins us for the first of what we hope is many times to discuss Little Round Top. We try to put LRT in its true importance in the Battle of Gettysburg. Did the Union Army and perhaps the Union itself hinge on one little regiment of barely-tested Mainers? Did the fighting for Little Round Top end when Joshua Chamberlain and the 20th Maine finished mopping the floor with the Alabama boys? What was behind Little and Bog Round Tops that might have made it an even worse day for Hood's Division had he been allowed to "go around to the riiiight"?
