On this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Brian Jordan (Sam Houston State University) to discuss the 107th Ohio Infantry Regiment and his book "A Thousand May Fall: An Immigrant Regiment's Civil War." We discuss the timeline and background of the mostly-German regiment, primarily on their involvement in the Chancellorsville and Gettysburg campaigns, while also focusing on the background of the officers and men of the unit as well as their unceasing quest for honor and recognition.
