When people think of Civil War generals, names like Grant, Lee, Jackson, Meade and others often spring to mind. However, not many think of “Jubal Early,” but we should, because he actually fought in more Civil War battles than any other Confederate general, including Lee! What’s more, his homeplace in Franklin County, Virginia is a mere thirty-minutes’ drive from our home office of DreyerCoaching.com. Take a listen to learn more about “Old Jube” and how this irascible general, with a tiny army, came breathtakingly close to seizing Washington D.C. and winning the war for the South. And as we wrap-up this ten-episode Civil War mini-series, learn how Union General Sherman probably saved Lincoln’s presidency--and thus the USA--by taking Atlanta in the fall of 1864, and how an unknown Senator from Kansas later saved the presidency of Andrew Johnson...by a single vote!Have a question or feedback?
