Wow, what a milestone!
My favorites broadly:
When a Monument Gets Its History Wrong by Chris Mackowski, posted on December 11, 2020.
Civil War Myth Busting: The Fictional Confederate Irish Brigade at Fredericksburg by Ryan Quint, posted on January 7, 2021.
A Bridge for Whiskey: The 51st Pennsylvania and Its Famous Request Examined by Kevin Pawlak, posted on January 28, 2021.
Can you see a theme here?
My two favorites that I’ve written:
130 Years Later: A Return to Antietam, posted on December 3, 2021. Part of an informal series on the 130th PA, it was moving to take original reunion ribbons back to the site and then share that with readers.
Monuments Moved at Gettysburg? The 15th, 19th, and 20th Massachusetts Infantry, posted on December 7, 2021. An opportunity to highlight some deep research into one of the thousands of small hidden stories held in Gettysburg’s monuments.
