What Was Sickles Thinking on July 2? - A Special Super Bowl Halftime Event! (S3 E6)
In this special Super Bowl Sunday edition of The Battle of Gettysburg Podcast, Eric and Jim decided to put together a Gettysburg Halftime Event for the big game! For an event of this magnitude, they had to select an individual whose legend was equal to this monumental moment... None other than Dan Sickles! In this episode, Eric and Jim delve into the commonly asked question of what Sickles was thinking on July 2, 1863, with his controversial move to the Peach Orchard and the Emmitsburg Road. They discuss Sickles as a person, his thought process, and how he interpreted the fluid events of the morning and early afternoon of July 2 before his fateful decision. This episode might not change your opinion of Sickles the man, but it might cause you to reevaluate the way you look at this critical moment at Gettysburg!
