"Gettysburg" the Movie

The American Civil War remains one of the most pivotal and complex periods in our history. While much has been written, countless fascinating questions still spark our curiosity. In our podcast Civil War Curious, we enlist expert historians to answer your lingering questions about the conflict. On this episode, we're joined by Garry Adelman, the chief historian at the American Battlefield Trust, the vice president of the Center for Civil War Photography, and, since 1995, a Licensed Battlefield Guide at Gettysburg. He discusses the enduring legacy of the 1993 movie Gettysburg, including what he thinks it got right and wrong historically.  ©2026 by The Civil War Monitor. All rights reserved.
