About this episode
We asked our Patrons to send in a recording answering the question "Why Gettysburg?" There was no explanation by what we mean by "why". The exercise is to see how the person interprets the word and to see what they come up with. The answers are interesting for many reasons, but there seems to be a thread of spirituality running through it. People love Gettysburg for more than the Battle of Gettysburg. That might start them off, but, once they visit, something invades their souls. Some call it the "Gettysburg Bug". We call it the "Gettysbug" because we're cheesy like that.
We hope you enjoy this one-off episode and that you'll consider becoming a Patron
