Derrick and Darryl discuss one of Darryl's projects, the Battle of Augusta. Fought on September 27, 1862, Basil Duke led a force against the home guards of Augusta and tangled with some gunboats. The resulting fight resulted in several burned buildings in the town itself, but a possible crossing of the Ohio River was thwarted.
