• Dr. Tom Clemens on the Save Historic Antietam Foundation.
• Historian Dennis Frye and Troy Cool on their historic houses near the battlefield.

Podcast: Dana Shoaf of National Museum of Civil War Medicine

In a freewheeling discussion, Dana Shoaf talks with co-hosts (and fellow Pittsburghers) Tom McMillan and John Banks about Dr. Jonathan Letterman, medical services at Antietam, Civil War ambulances and the National Museum of Civil War Medicine in Frederick, Md., where he serves as director of interpretation. Shoaf, the former editor for Civil War Times magazine (R.I.P.), lives near the South Mountain (Md.) battlefields, where he occasionally hears the boom of a reenactors' cannon.
