In this episode we discuss General Thomas's role in the Atlanta campaign. We begin by discussing the aftermath of the Chattanooga campaign and end with the Battle of Peachtree Creek just outside Atlanta. Thomas's Army of the Cumberland played a pivotal role, pushing J E Johnston's army from Dalton Georgia to Atlanta where Johnston was replaced by John B Hood. 

In this episode we conclude the Chickamauga battle and discuss the Chattanooga Campaign including the battles of Tunnel Hill, Missionary Ridge, and "The Battle Above the Clouds."

In this 2nd episode of George Thomas' life, we complete the battle of Stones River. We also cover the Army of the Cumberland's masterful maneuvers around the Confederate army of Tennessee, flanking them out of Tullahoma and Chattanooga. This ends up in the massive and chaotic battle of Chickamauga, where George Thomas received the nickname, "Rock of Chickamauga."

In this episode we begin our discussion of General George Henry Thomas including the Battles of Mill Springs and Stones River. We also discuss his early years and the impact of Nat Turner's slave revolt on Thomas and his family. 

This is our last episode with James Longstreet in which we discuss Appomattox and his life as a civil servant, college administrator, US Marshall, railroad executive, insurance executive, foreign ambassador, hotelier, and vintner. 

In this episode we discuss Longstreet's role during the battles of Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Chickamauga, Chattanooga, Knoxville, and the Wilderness. 

Longstreet was grievously wounded in the Wilderness and didn't return to his corps until they were in the trenches around Richmond.

In this episode we explore Longstreet's role in the Maryland Campaign (Antietam battle) as well as Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville leading up to Gettysburg.

This episode covers Longstreet's performance in the following battles in the Eastern theatre:

- First Manassas

- Seven Pines

- Seven Day's Campaign

- Second Manassas

His poor performance at Seven Pines was followed-up by excellent performances in the following battles leading up the climactic battle of Second Manassas. The failures of McClellan and Pope made Lee, Jackson, and Longstreet instant heros in the 1862 South.

In this episode we discuss James Longstreet's early life growing up in Georgia. We also discuss West Point and his experiences in the antebellum army on the frontier and in the Mexican War. 

In this episode we discuss James Longstreet who was born in South Carolina but considered Georgia home. We will discuss his roles in the battles of Chickamauga and Gettysburg, each of which had very different outcomes. 

We also introduce the "loss cause" mythology and how Longstreet became public enemy #1 to its advocates.
