A New Season Begins! On this episode I interview Martin Husk, the author of "The 111th New York Volunteer Infantry: A Civil War History."

Martin's passion for this regiment helps to keep their story alive and bringing attention to these men was an excellent way to kick-off a new season.

On this episode of The Civil War Regiments Podcast, I'm joined by historical artist Mark Maritato to discuss his work in recreating regiments in art, as well as the process, inspirations, and his latest projects. Mark goes through great lengths for accuracy in his paintings to honor the men who fought and died in the American Civil War.
