On this episode I interview Rhode Island historian and author, Rob Grandchamp on the story of the 7th Rhode Island infantry regiment in the Civil War. A regiment that participated in both the Eastern and Western theaters of the war and would suffer terrible losses. This was an intriguing conversation, shedding much needed light on a very brave and overlooked regiment.
