About the program: 

Among the many goals of the Army of Northern Virginia during what later became known as the Gettysburg Campaign was the destruction of railroads that could support the Union war effort. As Robert E. Lee's forces moved north from the Fredericksburg area, the railroads played an important role in shaping the strategy and tactics of the Confederate movements. Author Scott Mingus will give a sweeping overview of more than a dozen railroads involved in the campaign, including those in south-central Pennsylvania.
