Summary
In this episode of The Battle of Gettysburg Podcast, Eric and Jim are again joined by their friend and colleague Tracy Baer who will be discussing the fascinating history of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. While many students of the battle have heard of Chambersburg, it is often overshadowed by events just thirty miles to the east in Gettysburg. Tracy in Part Two details the role the town played in the 1863 Gettysburg Campaign and the tragic burning of Chambersburg by Confederate forces in 1864.
