Every year John takes my Civil War students around the Gettysburg battlefield and shows them the WWI and WWII hot spots. We couldn't go this year - because...you know, lock down. So we talked it out. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-rogue-historian/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-rogue-historian/support

Gettysburg in the 20th Century with John Heckman - The Tattooed Historian

John Heckman is the Tattooed Historian. He is prone to go "all in" when it comes to his work. But as he tells Colin, it took him a while before he decided history was what he wanted to do with his life. Despite the fact that he was running a Civil War artillery unit as a living historian in his teens, he tried accounting and other jobs before realizing history was his true passion. John now has a podcast, where he is talking with some of the best historians in the field about their craft. His story shows how our fear of failure--hopefully--is eventually overcome by our fear of never having done what we really want to do.
