Fall 1863 Virginia Campaigns

Civil War scholar Jeffrey Hunt detailed the movements of General George Meade and Union forces from July to December 1863 as they followed Confederates through Virginia. This event was part of Pamplin Historical Park's "Small Battles, Big Results" symposium.

Now, it's a bit longer than usual, but that means more fun to watch and discuss. Watch it in chunks over the course of the next few days, but Monday night...9:00pm eastern in the chatroom.

Not to toot my own horn but this is an excellent presentation on 3 months of overlooked campaigning. Hunt's talk has a great flow to it and explains in great detail not just the whats but the hows

This is great, I was actually thinking of requesting this one. I watched it when it aired on TV and would like to learn more about this campaign, it is greatly overlooked. Thank you and I'll be tuned in.
