Welcome everybody to the Battle of Gettysburg Podcast. I am your co-host

Eric Lindblade, licensed battlefield guide here at Gettysburg National Military Park and we are

recording live from the Reliance Mine Saloon in Gettysburg.

Here with my co-host James Hessler. Jim, what's our topic this week?

Well, thanks, Eric. Today's topic is going to be the pivotal day of June 28, 1863.

It might not be a day that a lot of listeners

appreciate being of great significance,

but man, June 28th has got something for everybody.

Depending on what side of the fence you're on,

our title today could be, we move on the word of an actor

to talk about General Lee's movements

and the Army of Northern Virginia.

But on the Army of the Potomac side, trouble comes to George Mead.

So those are going to be our two primary areas of focus today, but we've got a lot of good stuff in between the lines to cover both armies.

When we look at June 28th, I don't think... in between the lines to cover both armies.

When we look at June 28th, I don't think it's a stretch to say that outside of a battle day,

this could very well be the most important day of the Gettysburg campaign.

And I even mean some of the actions late on the retreat near Williams Sport

and even falling waters.

I think this whole battle is going to be shifted because of this.

I think everything that kind of comes to Gettysburg a few days later, we can sort of see the genesis

of it beginning on June 28th.
