Civil War Breakfast Club Podcast Episode 135 – The Battle of Jonesboro

We are back in the Eastern Theatre! In this episode, we discuss the Battle of Reams Station, fought on August 25, 1864.

In this episode, we look at the first battle in which the Confederate Army of Tennessee fought under the command of General John Bell Hood.

For the first time ever, we are recording on location! We were able to record this episode from Grant Hall on Fort McNair which is the place where the Lincoln Conspiracy trial took place in 1865. We are joined by guests Adam Oler, Michael Kauffman (author of "American Brutus") and Kim Holien. Huge thanks to them for joining us to have this discussion about the conspirators, the trial and its significance today.
