Carol Reardon’s book Pickett’s Charge in History and Memory is a Gettysburg classic. A discussion of the book is the kick-off panel for this year’s virtual Civil War Institute at Gettysburg College. Ashley Luskey and Peter Carmichael of the Civil War Institute, Jennifer Murray (Oklahoma State University), and Doug Douds (U.S. Army War College) offer reflections with Carol Reardon (Penn State University). The Civil War Institute is one of the most important Civil War and Reconstruction conferences every year drawing academics, public historians, authors, and the general public to Gettysburg every year.
