Episode Details

Back by popular demand, historian and co-host of the History Things Podcast Matt Borders, joins us to talk about the history of the Army of the Potomac. This episode covers the year 1861. 

For those of us who have had our heads buried in books about the Battle of Gettysburg, we might find ourselves surprised at how different the organization of the AoP was. It helps us better understand how the army seemed to pull itself together just in time for Gettysburg, but like with anything, nothing happens over night.
