So, we went across the street. In this episode, we cover topics such as: -USCT graves -the cemetery during the battle and the monuments within it -A confederate mass grave in the Annex? -Revelry in the town the night before the Dedication

Thanks to my Patrons at Patreon.com, I plan to catch AT LEAST one (though I'll be aiming for both) lecture each weekend so that I can record the audio for you. To become a...
