This conflict wasn't merely a historical episode—it was America's second founding that fundamentally redefined liberty, citizenship, and national identity. While educational institutions increasingly gloss over this pivotal era, Kiger's masterful storytelling brings it vividly to life through meticulously researched monthly episodes available across all major platforms.The podcast's treatment of often-neglected aspects of the war, like the Western Theater battles, demonstrates its commitment to comprehensive historical understanding. The Battle of Shiloh episode exemplifies this approach—detailing how Albert Sidney Johnston's death weakened Confederate leadership, how the victory cemented Grant and Sherman's crucial friendship, and how it opened the Mississippi River campaign that would eventually split the Confederacy. Through first-person accounts, detailed tactical explanations, and emotional depth, listeners experience history not as distant facts but as human stories with profound consequences that still resonate today.For the full experience, check out the YouTube channel featuring enhanced visuals with maps and historical photographs.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageWhat if the pivotal re-election of Abraham Lincoln in 1864 was filled with more drama and strategy than a political thriller? Join us as we unravel the layers of Lincoln's campaign, marked by the profound challenges of preserving the Union during the Civil War some 160 years ago. We reflect on how Lincoln's indomitable spirit and strategic moves, such as backing General Grant and leveraging General Sherman's capture of Atlanta, secured his political triumph. Drawing from Charles Bracelen Flood's "1864: Lincoln at the Gates of History,"  we explore the human side of Lincoln, detailing his personal losses and resilience. His journey reminds us of the enduring fight for justice and equality, a legacy that would inspire future leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. Join us for an exploration of Lincoln's legacy, as relevant today as it was back then, in shaping a more perfect union.Key Points from the Episode:Explore his strategic brilliance through the Emancipation Proclamation and economic policies that held the nation together, amidst the chaos of battle and internal strife. We promise you'll gain insights into how Lincoln's leadership qualities transformed a nation on the brink.Discover the intricacies of General Lee's bold invasion of the North and how his defeat at Gettysburg shaped the political landscape. Lincoln's frustration with his generals, particularly with General Meade's hesitance, reveals much about the pressures he faced. Yet, victories in the Western Theater under General Grant played a crucial role in tipping the scales in Lincoln's favor, impacting both the war's outcome and his re-election prospects. Listen in as we navigate through these military strategies and the administrative hurdles Lincoln overcame.Other resources: Want to leave a review?

While the American Revolution battles in the coastal states were fought between America's Continental Army and England's Redcoats, the battles of the interior became extensions of skirmishes with Native Americans, spurred by the British that outlasted the Revolution itself. 

Derrick and Darryl return to the mics to talk with NPS Ranger Andrew Miller on the Mill Springs Campaign. In this episode Andrew sets up the campaign and how the two armies eventually clashed at Mill Springs., which brought the Union its first major victory of the war.

Darryl talks with Dave Mowery, author of Cincinnati in the Civil War: The Union's Queen City. Cincinnati was the largest producer of goods for the Union Army west of the Appalachian Mountains, and the third largest in the United States. The old saying of “amateurs talk about tactics, but professionals study logistics" holds true when studying the Western Theater, and Cincinnati was the key to the Union's logistical efforts.

Today's Destination: Chickamauga National Park: Part 2 of Chattanooga episode. Today's Misstep- Driving over hills, a tire came at us Travel Advice: What exercises should I do when I travel?   FAQ: What do you wish you knew before booking your flight?   Response: A few more questions you can ask someone before you plan your trip are:  Did you experience any frustrations related to the destination or the actual traveling? If so, what should people be aware of to avoid those frustrations, hopefully? What websites or services were the most helpful for planning/booking your trip? What advice would you give someone going there for the first time? What was the most enjoyable or relaxing part of your trip?   Today's destination: Chickamauga National Park Part 2 of the Chattanooga series It's officially called Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park near Lookout Mountain. Use your National Park Pass for free entry. http://cityofchickamauga.org/ When I first visited Point Park, I explored this area on the border of Georgia and Tennessee for about an hour. It's across from the visitor center and was built by the Army Corps of Engineers.  You can see artillery from the Confederate fighting. The Battle of Chickamauga, fought September 19–20, 1863, marked the end of a Union offensive in southeastern Tennessee and northwestern Georgia called the Chickamauga Campaign. The battle was the most significant Union defeat in the Western Theater of the American Civil War. It involved the second-highest number of casualties in the war, following the Battle of Gettysburg. It was the first major battle of the war in Georgia. The battle was fought between the Army of the Cumberland under Maj. Gen. William Rosecrans and the Confederate Army of Tennessee under Gen. Braxton Bragg, and was named for Chickamauga Creek, which meanders near the battle area in northwest Georgia (and ultimately flows into the Tennessee River about 3.5 miles (5.6 km) northeast of downtown Chattanooga) There is also a monument to peace, The New York Peace Monument, symbolizing reunification and reconciliation.    http://cityofchickamauga.org/about-history-chickamaugabattlefield.asp Look for marble and pink granite materials. Visit the museum at Ochs Memorial Observatory for views of the Chattanooga area from the terrace. You can continue hiking the trails to other scenic views from Lookout Mountain. I first visited this area on a bus trip with my high school friends in the 1970s, and this was my first visit to return.  I drove the two hours from Atlanta through some small towns and highways and finally to some neighborhoods and scenic drives. When you get to the neighborhood, you will drive on windy roads that take your breath away.  This is a Step 1 or Step 2 destination and easy to explore independently. There is also a cute Visitor Center with restrooms and a small museum. The awe-inspiring view from Lookout Mountain Battlefield over Point Park shows a bird' s-eye view of the Tennessee River and how it bends, a bit like a foot at the ankle. You see the city of Chattanooga from above when you go around the bend. You can even see the three bridges that cross the river to the town. The battlefield here was memorable, and you can follow the signs for the Chickamauga Battlefield Tour. Or you can just enjoy walking the grounds around the peace monument and listening to the birds chirping. It's an excellent way to enjoy your day in Georgia or Tennessee.   http://cityofchickamauga.org/about-history-trainmuseum.asp Today's Misstep- Driving on the road over hills, a tire came rolling at us and hit our car. You're generally safe from tires in a car, but this tire stopped us. We hit the tire and could not drive any further. We got a tow truck to bring the car home, about 200 miles away. It was an expensive tow, and I hope you don't have that experience.  Today's Travel Advice- What exercises should I do when I travel? Try to stay as active as you are when home, which means you should try to maintain the same levels of activities, even if you are on the road a lot. You may need to take frequent breaks in your drive to stretch, walk a bit, and even do more intensive exercise. Stretch every two hours on a plane or train. I try to find a pool where I can swim anytime I travel. I am a member of the YMCA, where I can go anytime. There are more than 2700 YMCAs in the USA and also in 120 countries around the world. That's how we both can keep our exercise routines when we travel.    Connect with Dr. Travelbest 5 Steps to Solo Travel website Dr. Mary Travelbest X Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Page Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Group Dr. Mary Travelbest Instagram Dr. Mary Travelbest Podcast Dr. Travelbest on TikTok Dr.Travelbest onYouTube In the news

The American Revolution and its War for Independence comprised the United States' founding movement. The War for Independence also served as the fifth major war for European empire in North America. The fourth war for European empire, the Seven Years' War, reshaped and redefined Europe's worldwide colonial landscape in Great Britain's favor. The American Revolutionary War presented Britain's European rivals with an opportunity to regain some of the territory they had lost. An opportunity we can see those rivals seizing in the Revolutionary War's Western Theater. Stephen Kling, Jr., is the author and co-author of several books and articles about the American Revolution in the West. His latest book, The American Revolutionary War in the West, has served as the basis for a museum exhibit at the St. Charles County Heritage Museum in St. Peters, Missouri. Stephen joins us as our expert guide on our expedition through the Revolution's Western Theater.

War has always been a central backdrop or subject of storytelling, but certain events have more impact than others. For American Comics, it's the Western Theater of WWII, but for Manga, it tends to be the Sengoku Jidai, and in particular, the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600. Often seen as an almost mythical event, this battle was such a turning point in history that nearly any feudal manga (or even some placed in the modern day) will have elements or events related to this battle. This battle influences viewpoints and stories in ways that sometimes are overlooked or passed by. Join us for an examination of how this event influenced manga storytelling both overtly and in less obvious ways, and how the themes springing from this event have influence over how manga tells stories even today.

It is May 1864, and President Lincoln has now promoted Ulysses S. Grant -- the hero of the Western Theater -- to the rank of Lieutenant General -- a rank only held in wartime by George Washington. Grant's task is to now lead the Union army against the Confederate rebels during the most unstable time in United States history. If Grant fails, it could lead to peace with the Confederates and a continuation of slavery in North America for generations to come. The wartime stakes could never be higher!

Episode 37 aired on CBS Radio October 7, 1956. Galvanized Yankees was a term from the American Civil War denoting former Confederate prisoners of war who swore allegiance to the United States and joined the Union Army. Approximately 5,600 former Confederate soldiers enlisted in the "United States Volunteers", organized into six regiments of infantry between January 1864 and November 1866. Of those, more than 250 had begun their service as Union soldiers, were captured in battle, then enlisted in prison to join a regiment of the Confederate States Army. They surrendered to Union forces in December 1864 and were held by the United States as deserters, but were saved from prosecution by being enlisted in the 5th and 6th U.S. Volunteers. An additional 800 former Confederates served in volunteer regiments raised by the states, forming ten companies. Four of those companies saw combat in the Western Theater against the Confederate Army, two served on the western frontier, and one became an independent company of U.S. Volunteers, serving in Minnesota. The term "galvanized" has also been applied to former Union soldiers enlisting in the Confederate Army.

The necessity and relevance of art is a conversation needed today given that we live in tumultuous times. And if we are going to have this conversation, Lisa Channer is a voice that must be heard. She is a director, producer, dancer, performer, educator, wife and mother. She's created new work around the world even in Russia using hidden Russian texts that didn't see the light of day until after the fall of the Soviet Union. She has wrestled with the whiteness and maleness of the Western Theater's Canon that includes luminaries like Shakespeare, Moliere and O'Neill to find her voice within the work. Her approach to art is Jazz-esque – learn the notes so you can blow them up, make them your own. Hers is a voice, a life and a career that she's built on her own terms. Ask her what the world needs now, and she finds her answers in the molecules of the theater: Compassion, Empathy, Collaboration and Non-Binary Thoughts. For Lisa, art lives in the smudges between boundaries, and in a time when the boundaries are tested daily, it's the artists who will hold us together. Theatre Novi MostPatrick's WebsitePatrick's IGAt the Podium on IGPatrick on LinkedInPatrick on Facebook

Episode 72 Aired on KNX Los Angeles, CBS on December 20, 1947 featuring Foy Willing and The Riders of the Purple Sage. Foy Willing and the Riders of the Purple Sage rose to fame as the house band for Cottonseed Clark's Hollywood Barn Dance, which was a wartime replacement for Gene Autry's Melody Ranch. Foy Willing (May 14, 1914 – July 24, 1978) was an American singer, songwriter, musician, and bandleader, who performed Western music and appeared in Western movies.

Christmas broadcast December 22, 1946 over CBS Radio Network. KNX Hollywood air check. With Foy Willing and The Riders of the Purple Sage and guest Dennis Moore western action movie star. He worked steadily as an all-purpose utility player, in both heroic and villainous roles. Moore became a familiar face in Westerns, but never became a major star.

About this episode:  While most history enthusiasts are aware that Virginia was the leading theater of the war, many of those same people are surprised when they learn that Tennessee was second.  Indeed, the Western Theater of the American Civil War is shamefully neglected, despite the fact that it was in that theater where battles were fought and won that mortally wounded the Confederacy.  The Battle of Nashville in December of 1864 was, perhaps, the most significant in helping to bring the South to its knees and the Federal officer who led that victorious army has, like the theater in which he was engaged, been overlooked.  This episode hopes to bring attention and kudos to him.  An officer that former naval commander and historian, Thomas Buell, noted was unique - a Southerner who not only remained loyal to the Union but contributed mightily to its winning the war.  Our story is about a Virginian who, despite his state's secession, chose blue: George Henry Thomas. ----more----   Some Characters Mentioned In This Episode: Henry Halleck Don Carlos Buell Braxton Bragg William Starke Rosecrans Philip Sheridan Gordon Granger   For Additional Reading: Thomas Buell, The Warrior Generals: Combat Leadership in the Civil War, 1998   Get The Guide: Want to learn more about the Civil War?

Date: March 12, 2021 Speaker: Greg Biggs Topic: The Logistics of William T. Sherman's Atlanta Campaign - Chicago Civil War Round Table Monthly Meeting The Nevins Freeman Address Greg Biggs on The Question Was One of Supplies: The Logistics of William T. Sherman's Atlanta Campaign. For More Info: WWW.CWRTChicago.com The French military master Napoleon is said to have observed, "An Army Travels on Its Stomach." More modern military experts observe: "Amateurs talk strategy and Tactics. Professionals Talk Logistics." On March 12th Greg Biggs will be discussing the difficulties that General William T. Sherman encountered in supplying his troops during the Atlanta campaign. No army in history moved without a secure line of supplies especially if it moved into enemy territory. If an army got cut off from its supplies then calamity usually followed often ending in defeat and/or destruction. When William T. Sherman set his sights on Atlanta he prepared for the supplying of his army in a manner that surpassed every other Civil War general. Rebuilding railroads and confiscating locomotives and cars to haul supplies, Sherman set a daily goal for shipments to his forward base in Chattanooga. Ruthless in making sure that only supplies got on the cars, Sherman also had to worry about protecting the line of rails that ran back to Louisville, Kentucky from Confederate raiders. Building on a system begun by William S. Rosecrans, Sherman's engineers built forts and blockhouses and prepared pre-fabricated trestles for replacing those brought down by Confederate raiders. While his preparations were masterful and thorough, they were not without some flaws. This program will examine the nuts and bolts of these logistics and cover the errors that were also made. In the end, his supply line performed as expected and Atlanta was captured. This set the stage for two more campaigns that Sherman would undertake before the war ended in April 1865. Greg has been a student of military history from the Spartans through modern times for over 45 years. His Civil War articles have been published in Blue & Gray magazine, Civil War Regiments journal, North-South Trader, Citizen's Companion and local publications. Greg is also a Civil War flags historian and has consulted with many museums and authors and has presented flags programs to the Museum of the Confederacy and the National Civil War Museum. Greg has lectured across the country on Civil War topics primarily on flags and the Western Theater as well as the Revolutionary War. Greg leads tours of the Fort Donelson Campaign, the Tullahoma Campaign, the Atlanta Campaign and Where The River Campaigns Began: Cairo, IL to Columbus/Belmont, KY for Civil War groups, individuals and U.S. Army Staff Rides. He is the president of the Clarksville Civil War Roundtable and an officer of the Nashville CWRT. A good friend of our CWRT, Greg last spoke here in 2016.

Cartographer Steve Stanley and historian Kris White discuss mapping the battlefields of the Civil War's western theater for the American Battlefield Trust. Their book, Battle Maps of the Civil War: The Western Theater, is now available.

When we last covered the western theater, the focus was on the pivotal battle at Shiloh. After focusing on the east, we now return to the west. In the aftermath of Shiloh, Grant was replaced with Henry Halleck. Halleck was far too slow in continuing the advance to Corinth, Mississippi and he was booted up the chain to Washington DC. In the interim, the Confederates took advantage of the stretched Union lines. Braxton Bragg pushed through Tennessee and raided Kentucky. While failing to bring the Commonwealth back into the Confederacy, it temporarily put a halt to the spectacular Union advances that had occurred earlier in the year.

Albert Sidney Johnston and Joseph E. Johnston were both sent to command the Confederacy's western theater. Emerging Civil War historians Greg Mertz, Angela Riotto, and Kris White join host Chris Mackowski to talk about the very different circumstances the Johnstons faced.

The Battle of Ezra Church was fought on July 28, 1864, near Atlanta, the third in a series of unsuccessful attacks by General John Bell Hood's Confederate Army of Tennessee on General William T. Sherman's Union army. After the July 22nd Battle of Atlanta, Sherman decided to cut off Atlanta's railroad supply lines, thus forcing the Confederates to withdraw without a direct assault. To accomplish this goal, Sherman transferred his easternmost army, under Major General Oliver O. Howard, north and west around the rest of the Union lines to the south western side of Atlanta where the railroad entered the city. Anticipating Sherman's maneuver, Hood moved his troops out to oppose the Union army. Hood planned to intercept them and then make a surprise flank attack. The armies met on the afternoon of July 28 west of Atlanta, near Ezra Church. Hood's plans for a flank attack quickly collapsed. His disjointed attacks hit Howard's troops head on. The Confederate army suffered heavy losses assaulting the Union army's improvised breastwork of logs and rails. The rebels were defeated, although they managed to stop Howard from reaching the railroad line. The discouraged Confederates blamed Hood for the defeat, lamenting that they “had just enough soldiers left for another killing.” One Confederate general complained that his men “had been butchered” by the high command. On January 12, 2018, Bruce Allardice will discuss this battle, and in particular critique John Bell Hood's management (or lack thereof) of the battle. A professor of history at South Suburban College, he has given numerous lectures and presentations for Civil War Round Tables, museums, and civic organizations, including several to this round table. Among his publications is “‘It was Perfect Murder': Stephen D. Lee at Ezra Church,” an essay in Confederate Generals in the Western Theater (vol. 3), which inspired this presentation. Professor Allardice received the CWRT of Chicago's Nevins-Freeman Award for distinguished service in Civil War Scholarship and the CWRT movement. He is a former president of both the Chicago and Northern Illinois CWRTs. An avid sports historian, he heads the Civil War Baseball subcommittee for the Society of American Baseball Research.

"L" is for Longstreet, James Peter [1821-1904]. Soldier. Born in Edgefield District, Longstreet spent his formative years in Georgia and Alabama. After graduating from West Point, he had a successful army career, serving with distinction in the Mexican war and achieving the rank of major. In 1861, he resigned his US Army commission and joined the Confederate Army as a brigadier general. He distinguished himself as a superb military tactician and in 1862 Robert E. Lee made him his second in command. After Gettysburg he was transferred to the Western Theater where he won an impressive victory at Chickamauga. Returning to Virginia, he served brilliantly in the Battle at the Wilderness. After the war James Peter Longstreet settled in New Orleans and alienated many postwar southerners by joining the Republican Party.

Unconditional Surrender - Col. Heath at Fort Donelson "Sleep poorly, you bastards..." grumbled Col. John Heath as he watched the Union officers trudge back down a snow-covered corpse-strewn palisade. The emissaries had, under a flag of truce, brought a message for whoever was in command of Fort Donelson. It was most likely an agreement to negotiate a surrender of the Fort. Yesterday's fight had started so well that, for a moment, Col. Heath thought they might just make it, they might just win even. But the South seemed to get a lot of tough breaks in the last 24 hours, mused the Colonel as he folded his arms against the chilly early morning air. There was no point in delaying the inevitable. He watched for a moment longer as the soon to be victors grew smaller, threw his cigar stub aside and began to head back. The HQ was in the ugly, long, and squat Dover Hotel right on the riverbank. Col. Heath wasn't sure who was in charge of the garrison anymore, but he knew whoever it was they'd be there.The gunboats the Yanks had brought down from Fort Henry proved more bark than bite. Col. Heath had heard from the men at that fight that these new technological monsters were impervious to artillery fire. The frightened faces from Fort Henry whispered about how that place had been pounded by shot so continuous that she fell in under two hours. Col Heath surmised there was likely more to it than just a couple of gunboats, but when the very same ironclads steamed into view, he had to admit they struck a fearsome figure. Of course, Fort Donelson was no pushover, and he knew it. More a ring of earthworks and heavy artillery, Donelson used the land to perfection. A warren of trenches, crisscrossed by streams and gully's, the landward side of Donelson was designed to play murder on anyone brave (or dumb) enough to attack. And the riverside of the fort wasn't much easier on the attacker.Listen on Spotify  iTunes  This week’s sources - Grant by Ron Chernow and The Civil War: A Narrative.

In this episode I begin to examine the Battle of Shiloh, one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War. I look at the run up to the battle and how each side put out their troops. I then look at the first few hours of the battle on April 6 and how it looked like the Union was on the verge of defeat.

Lured by a potentially large and lucrative market, major theater productions are increasingly making the jump from the bright lights of Broadway or the West End to the less familiar but no less lively avenues by the Bund or the Second Ring Road. Yet, according to Gaultier Létourneau-Ross, director of operations at a Canadian company that assists foreign theater troupes seeking to perform in China, much remains to be worked out in terms of effectively producing these types of international productions — from marketing and filling seats to staging and censorship.

In this episode I finish my look at Missouri and General Fremont then start to look at the career of Ulysses S. Grant as well as his first major battle the Battle of Belmont. I look at General Albert Sidney Johnston and his moves. I then turn to look at the Battle of Logan's Cross Roads before talking about the most venerable point for Johnston the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers. Finally I look at how he wanted those points defended by constructing Fort Henry and Fort Donleson.

In this episode I turn from the Atlantic to the Western Theater looking at the struggle for Kentucky and Missouri. I examine the personalities involved in the beginning of the war and I look at the Battle of Carthage and the Battle of Wilson's Creek. I look at the personalities of several of the most colorful men to fight and lead the war in the West and I look at why the West was both important and different from the East.

May 2, 2019 - Mr. J.D. Dickey In late 1864, Major General William Tecumseh Sherman brought his brand of “hard war” to the Georgia countryside between Atlanta and Savannah. The campaign decimated the agricultural and economic heart of the Confederacy and relied on Sherman's leadership. Known as “Uncle Billy” to his Soldiers, Sherman was a man of contradictions facing the contest of internal Army politics, fighting on the enemy's soil, and coming to terms with the total war he brought to the people of the South. In this lecture, author J.D. Dickey speaks about his latest book, Rising in Flames: Sherman's March and the Fight for a New Nation. Dickey will talk about the pressures and challenges Sherman faced, his experiences in the Western Theater, and ultimately how the Atlanta and Savannah Campaigns helped to secure his infamous reputation well into the current century.

Hey all! We have E3 this week! For the next three days we will be reviewing the news coming out of the conference. First episode we cover EA, Microsoft, and Bethesda. EA tried to create a festival like event called EA PLay. We see updates coming to APEX Legends including an all new ranked mode. Finally I can go for the bronze! Next is the Western Theater update to Battlefield. A rarely visited war front of WW2 that had unique and challenging locations. FIFA 20 is taking it to the streets. Next game will give you 3v3 and 4v4 matches that will feel like a pick up games in local neighborhoods. Lately for EA they talked Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. This was the big one for them. A full game play video shows us level and character design. We remain unimpressed but hoping for the best. Microsoft brought the heat like usual! Project Scarlet is the current title for their next system. It boast a ton of power with a focus on the avid gamer. We also get more news on their streaming future and some updates to Game Pass. As for the games, Microsoft showed off their continued support for Indy developers. These smaller games are growing in popularity. They give more people an avenue to tell their stories their way. For those big games we are looking at Gears 5, Halo Infinite, and Cyberpunk 2077. Gears 5 is getting a new game mode called Escape and has some good looking teasers. Halo Infinite trailer was excellent! But anything with Master Chief is excellent! and Cyberpunk was disappointing because we didn’t get any game play …wait…is that KEANU REEVES! Sold! Yes, Keanu is coming to Cyberpunk. Bethesda wraps things up. First lets just get it out of the way, no Elder Scrolls 6. What they did show was Doom Eternal, ES Blades, Fallout 76 fixes, and Ghost Wire: Tokyo. Doom Eternal seems exciting and fun plus we all agreed to give it a try. Ghost Wire looks beautiful but no clue what kind of game it will be. Blades is coming to switch, making a mobile game slightly less mobile. Not a fan to be honest. And Fallout 76 is getting some major love. The two big highlights were human NPC’s coming to the game and an added Battle Royal mode. The winner so far was clearly Xbox but with Sony staying home the deck is stacked in their favor. Tomorrow we are reviewing Google Stadia and Ubisoft. Can’t wait!   Twitter: twitter.com/geekfreakspod Facebook: facebook.com/thegeekfreakspodcast Instagram: instagram.com/geekfreakspodcast E-mail: thegeekfreakspodcast@gmail.com Patreon: patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast Store: redbubble.com/people/GeekFreaks Twitch: twitch.tv/geekfreakspodcast Site: geekfreakspodcast.com  

The Battle of Shiloh was a battle in the Western Theater fought April 6–7, 1862, in southwestern Tennessee. On the first morning, 40,000 Confederate troops struck Union Soldiers at Pittsburg Landing. They were under the command of Major General Ulysses S. Grant. The Confederate Army of Mississippi, under the command of General Albert Sidney Johnston, launched a surprise attack on Grant's army from its base in Corinth, Mississippi. Johnston was mortally wounded during the fighting; Beauregard took command of the army and decided against pressing the attack late in the evening. Overnight, Grant was reinforced by one of his divisions stationed further north and was joined by three divisions. The Union forces began an counterattack the next morning which reversed the Confederate gains of the previous day.

On April 7, 2017 at noon, Gary W. Gallagher delivered a Banner Lecture entitled “The Best Rebel Reminiscence: Edward Porter Alexander's Fighting for the Confederacy.” Edward Porter Alexander’s Military Memoirs of a Confederate: A Critical Narrative (1907) and Fighting for the Confederacy: The Personal Recollections of General Edward Porter Alexander (1989) stand unchallenged as the most analytical, dispassionate, and influential books of their genre. Alexander wrote from a singular perspective as one who had served on the staffs of Robert E. Lee, Joseph E. Johnston, and P. G. T. Beauregard before beginning a career in the artillery that soon revealed him to be the most gifted gunner in the Confederacy. Literally present from Manassas to Appomattox, Alexander participated in all the great battles of the Western Theater as well as fighting in Tennessee in late 1863. This lecture will assess Alexander’s two books, highlighting the process by which he crafted them and the degree to which they influenced subsequent generations of historians and other writers. Dr. Gary W. Gallagher is the John L. Nau III Professor in the History of the American Civil War at the University of Virginia and the author and editor of many books and articles, including Cold Harbor to the Crater: The End of the Overland Campaign and Fighting for the Confederacy: The Personal Recollections of General Edward Porter Alexander.

The war on the Western Front opens up, as the German army cruises through Belgium to the gates of Paris. The allies unveil a new secret weapon on the battlefield. I apologize for the delay this week. I had a heck of a time getting all this stuff sorted out but this is a much better version then I what had originally written. -Dan Map of the Western Theater, August-September 1914. Note the borders have been modified to to reflect 1914.

This show is dedicated to: A young woman named Frances Day was mortally wounded while serving as Sgt Frank Mayne in the Western Theater. Defending the Republic with Annie "The Radio Chick", and co-hosts Dan Butcher, Pundit Press and Kel Fritzy, Red Fox Radio Special Guest: Todd Allen Herendeen hails from Indiana.  First and foremost he is a Christian. As he always says from stage, “I love God, Veterans and my country. In that order.  I put my veterans before my country because without them, we have no country.” Todd's goal every night as he walks on stage is for everyone to forget their worries or troubles for a couple hours and enjoy themselves! His drive, along with his dynamic voice and excellent showmanship have gained him much success, including a #1 Hit, in his 15 years of performing professionally. He is so versatile, his show can be Gospel, country, rock 'n' roll, and much more. This versatility has lead him to perform as the opening act for such rock 'n' roll legends as: Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Chubby Checker, The Four Tops, The Platters, Leslie Gore, and The Beach Boys. He recently worked with B.J. Thomas and The Drifters!  Opening for Foreigner twice was awesome too, as Todd got to do some classic rock! On the country realm Todd has worked with Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Ricochet, Bill Anderson, Gene Watson, John Conlee, Jeannie Seely, Janie Fricke, Ricky Van Shelton, Andy Griggs, George "Goober" Lindsey, John Michael Montgomery, Lynn Anderson, The Warren Brothers, Diamond Rio, Neil McCoy and Buddy Jewell. http://www.toddallenherendeen.com/
