Ok, good evening. I and peter carmichael, professor of history at Gettysburg College and also director of the civil war institute. My guest is noted historian gordon ray. He 20 years ago published the battle of the wilderness with lsu press. This would be the first of 4 volumes to cover the 1864 Overland Campaign. Gordon was the first historian to ever attempt to write a comprehensive history of those operations. Those operations, as you know, covered Central Virginia and ended on june 1 at cold harbor. It really is hard to imagine that anyone will ever again attempt to write such a comprehensive history because what gordon did is truly phenomenal.

Host finally Michael Lewis i was a little confused by the last chapter. We need to tell everybody what it is and they can pick up the bo
I am professor of history at gettysburg college. My guess is gordon ray. This would be the first of 4 volumes to cover the 1864 Overland Campaign.

What is really remarkable is that gordon dived into the archives, and so much of tactical history, much about gettysburg, never draws from original manuscript material, which in my estimation, is almost criminal. Gordon he dove into the archives. Just to give you one example, the third volume of his series, an impressive amount of research that included 150 manus
