We'd like to invite you to subscribe (for free) to our YouTube Channel. In 2026, its name will change from Addressing Gettysburg to Addressing History so as to enable us to produce new content that explores a wider breadth of American history. Our first attempt at that was produced last year and we just released the first episode of this new series. It's called "Tavern Talks" and our goal is to give we, the People, equal footing with our historian guests in a way no one else cares to try. Our first episode is about Valley Forge and features Kenneth Gavin. There are some visuals that you will not be able to see because this is the audio-only version, obviously. That's why we encourage you to bite the bullet and finally get over to YouTube and subscribe to our channel. See you there!
