That would’ve been a hell of experience thinking you’re fighting some militia but then finding out it’s actually the Vanguard of the army at the Potomac

Her brothers was in the Union Army one of them is Joshua S Peckham 3rd Wisconsin Infantry Company F
Nothing against the heroes of the 24th Michigan, but the presenters neglected to mention the 2nd, 6th and 7th Wisconsin regiments and the 19th Indiana. All 5 regiments made heroic sacrifices toward the victory at Gettysburg. They were all appropriately labeled “Born Killers” and “Black Hat Devils”.
Love the Iron Brigade, "those black-hatted fellers." Special shout-out to Rufus Dawes and the 6th Wisconsin.
