  They Must Be Made of Iron: A Historical Drama of the Iron Brigade at the Battle of Gettysburg , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 56min

  Without question, the most famous battle of the American Civil War took place outside of the small town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, which happened to be a transportation hub, serving as the center of a wheel with several roads leading out to other Pennsylvanian towns. From July 1-3, Robert E. Lee's Confederate Army of Northern Virginia tried everything in its power to decisively defeat George Meade's Union Army of the Potomac, unleashing ferocious assaults that inflicted nearly 50,000 casualties in all. Day one of the battle would have been one of the 25 biggest battles of the Civil War itself, and it ended with a tactical Confederate victory. To an important degree, Gettysburg played out as it did because of the Union Army's most famous brigade. The title of "Iron Brigade" has been given to a number of different US Army brigades over the last century and a half, but it has become almost entirely synonymous with the Civil War soldiers who fought in the brigade for the Army of the Potomac. Also known as the "Iron Brigade of the West", "Rufus King's Brigade", and the "Black Hat Brigade," the Iron Brigade was comprised of the 2nd, 6th, and 7th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiments, the 19th Indiana, Battery B of the 4th U.S. Light Artillery, and later, the 24th Michigan. The Eastern Theater of the Civil War saw the bloodiest and most famous battles, as well as the biggest losses, giving the brigade a chance to demonstrate its mettle during legendary confrontations with Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, most notably during its heroic actions on the first day of Gettysburg, which historian Alan T. Nolan once called the Iron Brigade's "last stand". ungekürzt.

  The High Tide of the Confederacy: The History of the Climactic Final Day of the Battle of Gettysburg , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 137min

  Without question, the most famous battle of the war took place outside of the small town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, which happened to be a transportation hub that served as the center of a wheel with several roads leading out to other Pennsylvanian towns. From July 1 to 3, Robert E. Lee’s Confederate Army of Northern Virginia tried everything in its power to decisively defeat George Meade’s Union Army of the Potomac, unleashing ferocious assaults that inflicted nearly 50,000 casualties in all. Day one of the battle would have been one of the 25 biggest battles of the Civil War itself, and it ended with a tactical Confederate victory, but over the next two days, Lee would try and fail to dislodge the Union army with attacks on both of its flanks during the second day and a massive attack against the center on the third and final day. Given that the Army of Northern Virginia would never muster another invasion of the North after Gettysburg and that the Confederates had mixed success the first two days of the battle, the third day is often remembered as the “high tide” or “high-water mark” of the Confederacy, symbolizing its last real chance to win the war. As a result, the most famous attack of the Civil War was also one of its most fateful and fatal: Pickett’s Charge, the climactic assault on the final day of the Battle of Gettysburg, which has become the American version of the Charge of the Light Brigade and one of the most famous events of the entire Civil War.  ungekürzt.

  History for Kids: The Battle of Gettysburg , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 23min

  In Charles River Editors' History for Kids series, your children can learn about history's most important people and events in an easy, entertaining, and educational way. The concise but comprehensive audiobook will keep your kid's attention all the way to the end. Without question, the most famous battle of the American Civil War took place outside of the small town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, which happened to be a transportation hub, serving as the center of a wheel with several roads leading out to other Pennsylvanian towns. From July 1 to July 3, Robert E. Lee's Confederate Army of Northern Virginia tried everything in its power to decisively defeat George Meade's Union Army of the Potomac, unleashing ferocious assaults that inflicted nearly 50,000 casualties in all. Day 1 of the battle would have been one of the 25 biggest battles of the Civil War itself, and it ended with a tactical Confederate victory. But over the next two days, Lee would try and fail to dislodge the Union army with attacks on both of its flanks during the second day and Pickett's Charge on the third and final day. Meade's stout defense held, barely, repulsing each attempted assault, handing the Union a desperately needed victory that ended up being one of the Civil War's turning points. After the South had lost the war, the importance of Gettysburg as one of the "high tide" marks of the Confederacy became apparent to everyone, making the battle all the more important in the years after it had been fought. While former Confederate generals cast about for scapegoats, with various officers pointing fingers at Robert E. Lee, James Longstreet, and James Stuart, historians and avid Civil War fans became obsessed with studying and analyzing all the command decisions and army movements during the entire campaign. Despite the saturation of coverage, Americans refuse to grow tired of visiting the battlefield and reliving the biggest battle fought in North America. ungekürzt. Language: English.
