A loaded episode this week features author and historian Gene Thorp as we revisit the Invasion of Maryland, especially Lee's Lost Orders, Special Order 191. We take up the need to go head to head with commonly accepted beliefs that question General George B. McClellan's leadership, especially his reactions to conditions presented to him during troop disposition as well as on the field of battle.

Gene co-authored the book "The Tale Untwisted" detailing the Union response to the discovery of the lost orders with past Wabash Inn Mess guest Alex Rossino, and continues his study of General McClellan and the Army of the Potomac today. For a full study of the import of the lost and found orders, please pick up a copy of the above as well as "Calamity At Frederick" which goes into detail on the Confederate involvement in the saga of General Orders 191. Links to purchase can be found below and on The Wabash Inn Mess Website.
