Today I was browsing Gettysburg lectures on YouTube and came across what I thought was a several year old lecture by Gary Gallagher on Gettysburg and then another one by Eric Wittenberg on the first day of the battle. But no - they were excerpts from lectures by these distinguished historians that someone by the name of Joe Ryan used in his own Youtube videos. Mr. Ryan was very critical of Mr. Wittenberg and Mr. Gallagher, even laughing at them and their analysis.
Is anyone else aware of this guy. I found it rather offensive that he was so critical of such well-respected historians and he criticized them for his own purpose.
Any thoughts?
