Episode 3 - The Lost Battalion

Many people learn about history as a collection of names, dates, and places.  History is so much more interesting than that.  It is the stories of the men and women who made those places and events matter.  It is the story of the private soldier as much as it is the story of the great general.  It is the story of the farmer in the field as much as it is the story of the man in the Oval office. Join me, Chris from the Youtube Channel Vlogging Through History, as we dive deeper into the forgotten stories of our past, and into the details of the stories we thought we already knew.
