Looking for a new Civil War book to read? This one was released a few days ago! It's an excellent book about Longstreet that mainly focuses on his career post-Civil War! Our next episode will be a discussion with the author Elizabeth Varon!
We are stunned and saddened to learn of the death of our friend Peter Carmichael. Our condolences to his family in this very difficult time. RIP Pete 😪
Huge thank you to
