HORSES & MULES

“Dead Horse of Confederate Colonel; both killed at Battle of Antietam” by Alexander Gardner.

In which we look at the importance of horses & mules to Civil War armies. Plus, we talk about Robert E. Lee’s horse- Traveller.

Our book recommendation for this episode is This Great Struggle: America’s Civil War by Steven E. Woodworth.

“Woodworth displays his vast knowledge of Civil War military history in this sprightly march through the run-up to the war, the fighting, and the war’s immediate aftermath. He provide an… excellent account for anyone wanting to know how the war was fought.  Recommended for Civil War buffs and as a course text.” ~ Library Journal
