Ask A Gettysburg Guide #98- Major General John Newton with LBG Paul Bailey

LBG Paul Bailey joins us for the first time on an Ask A Guide to talk about the Army of the Potomac's Major General John Newton. A Virginian who remained loyal to his oath to the United States of America, Newton participated in the construction of the Washington defenses, led a brigade in the Peninsula Campaign and worked his way up to the rank of major general and controversially commanding the 1st Corps here at Gettysburg. There's so much more to this man and Paul tells us in an engaging way.
