The Battle of Agincourt With ( Mark Wheatcroft )

In this episode of the American Civil War & UK History podcast, host Daz is joined by historian Mark Wheatcroft to discuss the Battle of Agincourt, which took place during the Hundred Years' War on October 25, 1415.

The Battle of Agincourt was a significant English victory where a heavily outnumbered English army, led by King Henry V, defeated a larger French force. The battle is renowned for the effectiveness of the English longbowmen against the French cavalry and heavily armored men-at-arms, who were hindered by the muddy battlefield conditions. Historical accounts do not support any direct connection to "spray arms and armor" in relation to the battle.

Abraham Lincoln's Counterfeiters with ( Andrea Nolen )

In this episode of the American Civil War & UK History Podcast, host Daz is joined by author Andrea Nolen to discuss her new book titled ( Lincoln’s Counterfeiters: The Wisconsin Gang that Funded the Union and Started the Chicago Mob )

The book tells the story of a secretive counterfeiting gang based in Monroe, Wisconsin, known as the Bonelatta Gang. Andrea explores how this gang played a surprisingly significant role in financing various aspects of the Union effort during the Civil War by producing large-denomination counterfeit treasury notes and supporting banks aligned with the Lincoln administration.

Additionally, the book highlights how the criminal networks in Monroe connected with political corruption and criminal elements in Chicago, including the so-called "Kentucky Colony" and the Levee Lords. These connections eventually led to the formation of what became the Chicago mob.
