Cheeky Tales

Daniel Sickles - The Wildest Civil War General You’ve Never Heard Of


Listen Later

Dan Sickles is a name you've probably never heard before. Possibly that's because you aren't from the US so don't know much about the civil war. Or maybe it's because this guys story is horribly under-told. From an almost child bride, to fraud, murder, political scandal, he was a pretty dodgy dude. However, he was also a Medal of Honour winner. Hear the full story on this week's Cheeky Tales.
