Watch the Flank! Civil War combat story from Port Republic

We often see the overall battle discussed in any war. Let’s dive down and look at the action of one officer leading two regiments at the Battle of Port Republic. The battle is often known for it’s key terrain feature, the Coaling. Yet, these men served in the shadow of it.
