An Interview with Jim Jackson, Historian & Author, on Company K, 1st Michigan Sharpshooters - An Entirely Native American Regiment in the Civil War
In this episode I interview Jim Jackson, the Author of the book Veterans of Oak Hill Cemetery for Oak Hill Cemetery. He also edited the 2014 edition of Beyond These Gates for Oak Hill Cemetery, and is the author of other books on local history. Mr. Jackson has spent several years researching the history of Company K, 1st Michigan Sharpshooters who were an entirely Native American regiment in the U.S. Civil War. He covers how the unit was formed in 1863, how their members were selected, where they trained and the many engagements they had in the war including the Battle of the Wilderness and the Seige of Petersburg among many others. One of their numbers was nominated for Congressional Medal of Honor.
