Well researched. Presented very well! It is such an in depth dive into a sliver but very important portion of the war. Thank you for these episodes.
Both thoughtfully researched and engagingly presented
Presented with engaging style and a substantial depth of knowledge, really enjoying the excursions to the present to see how this landscape has transformed and how it can still be visited. Narrative scope “zooms” in and out to take you from the shoulder of an infantryman or an ambushed cavalryman to officers trying to shuffle their formations thru the strange landscape of the Wilderness to the command posts where “the big decisions” are made, often without the crucial detail that could have chan... more
I love how this story is told in bite-sized parts. Most historians gloss over The Wilderness while this podcast has setup a camp in the middle of The Wilderness to explain the how and why so many Americans died here. I can't wait for each episode - please make more!
Enjoying the story and analysis. Only quibble: CAV-AL-RY, not Calvary!!!
Simply brilliant!
