On this episode I had the privilege of interviewing author, historian, artist and musician, Mark Dunkelman. We discuss the 154th New York Infantry Regiment, a unit that has been his life work with six books, dozens of articles, monuments and the famous Coster Avenue Mural at Gettysburg. We deep dive into all his many projects along with stories of Mark's ancestor in the regiment, as well as the story of Amos Humiston and his children. Mark is an amazing storyteller and I hope you will be fascinated to hear as I was!
